This report presents results from an evaluation of the pilot and the outcomes of the second cohort. Finding that the pilot fostered improvements in financial stability, housing security, financial autonomy, and overall well-being, the evaluation suggests the potential benefits of such initiatives for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
