Drs. Cris Sullivan, Gabriela López-Zerón and colleagues present the ‘Decision Tree’ as an alternate assessment tool for Coordinated Entry.

In August, RCGV Director Cris Sullivan, Ph.D. and Associate Director Gabriela López-Zerón, Ph.D. first presented “Determining Housing Needs for DV/SV Survivors: A Decision Tree as an Alternative to a Scoresheet” at the DVHTAC’s Special Series on Coordinated Entry.

In November, Dr. Sullivan and her colleagues presented Decision Tree (Pt. 2): Putting it into Practice. Here is a link to view the presentation on YouTube. You can download the powerpoint here.
