Policy Goals – Discuss the policy goals

Policy: California Housing First Policy 
Policy Goals – Discuss the policy goals and outcome criteria and the
“why” and “how” for these goals. For example, how were the goals
determined? Are or were value disputes evident? In assessing values and
considerations, use the Stone text to assess these considerations critically.
o In this section address whether policy alternatives were presented
for consideration and whether equity and diversity are incorporated
into the decision making, goal setting, or for the overall policy (e.g.,
in determining goals, in selecting metrics, etc.); again, Stone is
invaluable for this section (i.e., was it ‘business as usual’ and if so,
how/why; think systemic bias, if any)! Identify what these were or
where opportunities were missed. If considered, how well/intensely
were these considered; what was/is the disposition of these
considerations; and, where in the policy process were these
introduced? 
Policy Outcomes – Provide the way, if any, the intended outcomes of the
policy were/are to be evaluated, if these elements are even noted. If they are
not noted, please speculate here as to potential evaluative processes. Academic
research (journal articles or technical reports) is especially helpful for this
section; government and third-party evaluations are also useful.
