Title: Examining Services and Best Practices of Intermediary
Organizations and the Faith- and Community-Based Organizations They
Serve.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: Currently, the Administration for Children and
Families, Department of Health and Human Services, is conducting the
project ``Examining Services and Best Practices of Intermediary
Organizations and the Faith- and Community-Based Organizations They
Serve.'' The purpose of the project is to examine (1) the role of
intermediary organizations in assisting faith- and community-based
organizations in building their capacity to serve needy individuals and
families; (2) innovative and best practices among intermediary
organizations; (3) promising practices among faith- and community-based
organizations; (4) methods to evaluate the services of both types of
organizations; and (5) methods to assess and benchmark performance
among faith- and community-based groups. Priority will be given to
programs that focus on the following areas; homelessness, hunger, at-
risk children, transition from welfare to work, and intensive
rehabilitation. The project involves the conduct of case studies of up
to 10 intermediary organizations and approximately three to four faith-
based and community-based organizations that receive assistance or
services from each of the intermediaries. Information collection will
be through informal discussions and observations on-site at the
organizations, using uniform protocols.
