Anchor recently joined over 160 peers and colleagues in the homelessness and out-of-home care sector for a vital discussion on measuring progress and outcomes in homelessness services.
Avi MacMull, Anchor’s Quality and Evaluation Manager, presented to the OPEN Network about Anchor’s approach to evaluating the impact of its programs, particularly those supporting young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
Avi emphasised that at Anchor, evaluation goes beyond tracking service delivery — it’s about understanding the difference we make in the lives of young people facing homelessness.
“We don’t just want to measure what we do,” Avi said. “We want to measure what it achieves for them.”
As a leading youth homelessness service provider in Melbourne’s outer east, Anchor is committed to building pathways out of homelessness. Evaluating the real outcomes of our support – housing stability, education engagement, and wellbeing – helps ensure we’re delivering meaningful change.
