Most programs can use their own records to obtain outcome information for at least some of their outcome indicators. For example, homeless shelters can track the number of overnight uses of their facilities. Food distribution programs can track the number of meals they provide or the number of different people they serve. And most programs should be able to use their records to track their response times from client request to service provision. Many programs can also use their own records to obtain information on other intermediate outcomes, such as the percentage of youth who completed the scheduled program, and on the performance of youths while in that.
