We prioritize community-based participatory research to identify best practices and new strategies, iterating and innovating to best serve our community and advance the work.
Research & Evaluation
Research has been a core function of the Homewood Children’s Village from the very beginning. Our team ensures that programs and services are measured, assessed, and informed by evidence. Our Office of Research & Evaluation (ORE) team tracks and analyzes the impacts of our core services, the effectiveness of our organizational infrastructure, and the performance of our partnerships. The results of these analyses are looped back into program design and development, allowing for continual growth.
Through ORE, we build a keen understanding of the complex conditions and barriers that our community faces. This knowledge is infused into our programs and is a foundation for advocacy toward systems-level changes. We continue to share our learning with the broader community by engaging in community-based participatory research, equipping our residents with research methods and principles to own and benefit from this shared learning process. Finally, our research team provides consultation services to our peers and partners. By offering their valuable skills to analyze programmatic data and support planning efforts, we ensure strong partnerships that strengthen the seamless support system created for our children and families.
