Tamiko,
You failed to address this assignment adequately. You provided very general information instead of following the rubric and providing specific information about your program evaluation. You never mentioned what you were evaluating so it remained unclear throughout your paper. Does this make sense?

Program Evaluation
Introduction
The program of human service is focused on preventing the different problems that greatly impact
society. The human service professionals focus on societal equality (Monette, Sullivan, & DeJong,
2013). The environmental influences at play include budgetary limits, political ideologies and
dynamism in the societies such as race, culture, income and the like..
This paper examines a human service program in an organization, its needs assessment, the
possible source of resources to address the identified needs, the identification of the stakeholders
in the assessment and the interpersonal, political & ethical considerations of interacting with the
stakeholders and decision makers (United States, 2000).
Desired outcomes
The program’s short term mission revolves around reducing hunger through increased food
security among low-income people and children so as to enable them gain access to healthy diets
and gain nutrition education in ways that inspire the confidence of the public and support the
American agriculture. The agency has several objectives mirrored across all the fifteen programs.
The long term desired outcome is that Americans can maintain a healthy weight by eating smart,
food insecurity can also be reduced through helping feed the needy and ensure all promote
programs equality, access, and respect (United States, 2000). Under the “no America should have
to go hungry” flagship, the investments by these program support health care, competitive
workforce and education. The FNS agency has in place the strategies and policies that ensure
sound stewardship of the taxpayers’ money through prevention and reduction of fraud and
increased efficiency.
Stakeholders
The stakeholders that would need to be engaged are the low income earners, the federal
government as well as the taxpayers
Evaluation Framework
The focus group method utilizes opinions, preferences and qualitative data whereas the
institutional data focus on the qualitative and quantitative data, indicators of performance, key
documents and background information. By the U.S standards, the low-income families stand at
200% of the federal poverty level,i.e., a family of four that makes less than $47248 per years
(McKernan & Sherraden, 2008). The low-income families stand at 100% the federal poverty
level,i.e., a family of four that earns less than $23624 per year . In 2015, 44% of the children across
the U.S according to the National Center for Children in Poverty (NCCP) report come from
families with low-income based on the 2013 U.S census .
Criteria for Effectiveness
Apart from addressing the untapped needs, the program ought to utilize the financial, information
and technological resources it has on streamlining the current outreach initiatives. There is need
to; obtain detailed information about fluctuations in the household expenses and income, explore
family networks as a good coping strategy. Also, SNAP should determine the accuracy of the
SNAP families’ perceptions of food prices at different stores at which they shop or to which they
have access to, explore food access and proactive coping strategies to maintain strategies, etc. Data
collection methods like focus groups, interviews, questionnaires, etc will be employed on the
families under the SNAP to get the information that would streamline their current operations and
the future initiatives. Demographic characteristics and household composition of the participating
families, employment status, household income and source of income are some of the additional
information essential in addressing the needs identified in the assessment (United States, 2000).
Findings and Recommendations
The needs assessment and the subsequent evaluation of the SNAP’s desire to cover more
Americans would demand the inclusion of the current beneficiaries of the program, the federal
government, the profit and non-profit organizations. As a stakeholder, the federal government
provides both the demographic and financial resources essential in shaping the endeavours of the
program. For instance, the 2013 national census revealed data on the American population that
showed a huge gap in the services offered by SNAP. Based on the population of the poor and lowincome families across the country, the government ought to act in its capacity as the protector of
the citizenry to increase its funding to the FNS hence loosening the budgetary constraints of the
agency (Monette, Sullivan, & DeJong, 2013). The current beneficiaries of the SNAP initiatives
would provide information essential in streamlining the future endeavours of the program ,i.e.,
their responses would determine the strategies adopted by the program personnel to improve
service delivery. The assessment ought to include the non-profit, profit and other institutions that
work hand in hand with the agency to promote active lifestyles and healthy diets among those
participating in the program.
implementation
The human service organizations focus on improving the lives of members of populations in the
society hence enabling them to perform at their highest capacity. The widespread democracy and
liberalism ideologies in most societies in the world call for equality of all humans hence the
formation of the human service agencies and programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP). The low-income families across the U.S can get food stamps through
SNAP. This program is the largest in the domestic hunger safety net and it partners with other
stakeholders and organizations to help the low-income family to make sound decisions. However,
the living standards of the Americans are definitely affected by the changing economic conditions
in the country and such changes in needs call for the periodic needs assessment surveys. This helps
in streamlining the services offered by the program (McKernan & Sherraden, 2008).
