Indicators of a program aiming to assist the homeless and residents in poor living conditions to improve their quality of life can help assess its effectiveness. Here are five potential indicators to consider:

Housing stability: Measure the level of housing stability among program participants. This can include indicators such as the percentage of individuals who have obtained stable housing, the duration of their housing stability, and the frequency of transitions between temporary or unstable housing situations. Increased housing stability indicates progress in improving participants' living conditions.

Access to basic needs: Evaluate the extent to which program participants have improved access to basic needs. This can include indicators such as increased access to nutritious food, healthcare services, clean water, sanitation facilities, and hygiene resources. Measure changes in participants' ability to meet their basic needs and assess the program's impact on addressing immediate survival challenges.

Employment and income: Assess participants' progress in gaining employment and increasing their income levels. Measure indicators such as the percentage of individuals who have secured stable employment, increased income, or accessed vocational training and skills development opportunities. Improved employment and income prospects contribute to enhancing participants' overall quality of life.

Social support networks: Evaluate the development of social support networks among program participants. Measure indicators such as the number and strength of connections with supportive individuals, community organizations, or mentors. Assess changes in participants' social relationships and the availability of emotional support, which can play a crucial role in improving their well-being.

Health and well-being: Monitor the impact of the program on participants' physical and mental health. Measure indicators such as changes in self-reported health status, access to healthcare services, and utilization of mental health support. Assess improvements in overall well-being, including reduced instances of illness, increased access to healthcare resources, and enhanced mental resilience.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
