Participant records will be maintained in the USCAA coumy outreach offices in individual family folders. The central oiiiee will maintain a monthly cumulative alphabetical roster with the required information on it. 13. Cost: What is the unit cost? VRlidate the reasonableness of toe unit cost How nanny units are proposed? The unit cost of flue program.is $25.42 per unit..Tlie number of amts proposed will be 5,041. This unit cost is necessary to provide the counseling and supportive services proposed in this program. Facperience demaastrates a need for extensive counseling to stabilize the typical situation and to enable families to < --- obtain and retain permanent housing. Experience has indicated this-cost is a fair unit cost. Family sizc is fixed at three family members. Families, -oftentimes, when encountering a crisis situation{s}, cannot think clearly or make rational decisions. Instead, they can only see bamers and obstacles: In :cases like this, the family needs a case manager who can help them to see alternatives, help them to set goals, educate them in life skills-and provide them with a relationship that has supports trust and direction. The case atana,ger will also connect the family to needed resources to achieve their goal of self- sufficiency. During the f rst months of inteivetrtioa, the case manager counsels the fatuity in a more intensive n~antrer, often times one or more times a week depending on their - situatian. In the middle morrths of the process, every other week is sufficient. In the final months, when foI3ow-up is done, the family is seen once a month. This enables the case manager to make the family ready for termination and to allow enough lima to deal with termination issues with them. 14. Retuna on Investment.
