Summary: "This report presents the overall findings from an implementation and fidelity evaluation of the At Home/Chez Soi initiative, a pan-Canadian Housing First demonstration project presently being implemented in Moncton, Montr©♭al, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver. The present study examined the first phase of implementation, using a mixed methods strategy. In particular, the study sought to understand the extent to which the interventions met fidelity standards, to better understand the reasons behind implementation successes and challenges, and to appreciate how the interventions have been adapted to local contexts. ...The present report synthesizes these and presents findings related to: (1) key intervention logic model ingredients; (2) what's working well and not well in implementation, (3) adaptations to local context, and (4) crosscutting themes and lessons learned"--page 6.
