© An eLogic Model™  (as distinct from a typical logic model) is an “electronic,” or software driven, adaptation of the logic model.  The eLogic Model™ offers so much new utility to the logic model, that it could very well revolutionize planning, reporting, case management, and, most importantly, the measurement of outcomes in the human services.

©CAMP has developed two versions of the eLogic Model™, one that supports HUD programs and the other that supports non-profit and community based programs. In addition, the eLogic Model™ that supports non-profit and community based programs is also available with a client case tracking system.  Additional information concerning the availability of these software products can be found by contacting us at info@appliedmgt.com

©   An eLogic Model™  (as distinct from a typical logic model) is an “electronic,” or software driven, adaptation of the logic model.  The eLogic Model™ offers so much new utility to the logic model, that it could very well revolutionize planning, reporting, case management, and, most importantly, the measurement of outcomes in the human services.

© In 2003, The Center for Applied Management Practices, Inc., (CAMP) developed a logic model for the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for use by agencies that receive funding under the HUD SuperNOFA grant solicitation. For the Fiscal Year 2008 "SuperNOFA," an annual funding notice that makes available more than $1 billion in grants through 35 programs was announced.  HUD intends to offer an additional $1.5 billion in homeless grants later in the year through a new electronic application process that will significantly streamline funding of thousands of homeless assistance programs nationwide.  The original logic model provided an organizational framework to develop a knowledge base of information containing, needs, services/interventions, outcomes and evaluation tools. As part of the application process for funding under the 2008 SuperNOFA, applicants are required to use the eLogic Model™ developed by CAMP.

© To make funding opportunities available to the public as soon as possible, HUD is posting its SuperNOFA electronically through www.grants.gov in advance of the Federal Register publication on May 12, 2008.  Applicants are strongly encouraged to read funding notices thoroughly and to follow the registration information available in the General Section of the SuperNOFA published in the Federal Register on March 19, 2008.


 ©     You will given instructions in the Federal Register and at the HUD website on how to download a Microsoft Word document or PDF to view Program descriptions, Need Statement, Activities/Outputs, Outcomes/Indicators, Measurement Tools, and the questions HUD will use to evaluate your program.  A Microsoft Excel work book will also be available to complete your program eLogic Model™

©  The ©Carter-Richmond Methodology™    

The ©Carter-Richmond Methodology™ was adapted by HUD to develop the Evaluation questions for all programs funded under the SuperNOFA solicitation. In general, all programs and services should be able to answer these basic evaluation questions which are the basis for the program specific evaluation questions that HUD programs are required to answer.

 As applied to HUD programs the ©Carter-Richmond Methodology™ questions are:

1.      How many clients are you serving?

2.      How many units were provided?

3.      Who are they? (Demographics)

4.      What services do you give them?

5.      What does it cost?

6.      What does it cost per service delivered?

7.      What happens to the “subjects” as a result of the service*?

8.      What does it cost per outcome?

9.      What is the value of an outcome?

10.    What is the return on the investment?

 The subject could be a client or a unit such as a building and is defined by its associated unit of service.

In 1983, Sage Publications, Inc., published Reginald Carter’s The Accountable Agency, as part of its Sage Human Services Guides, Volume 34. In its original form, Dr. Carter created seven key questions:

1.      How many clients are you serving?

2.      Who are they?

3.      What services do you give them?

4.      What does it cost?

5.      What does it cost per service delivered?

6.      What happens to the clients as a result of the service?

7.      What does it cost per outcome?

In 1999, Frederick Richmond, added two questions to Carter’s original seven creating what is today the ©Carter-Richmond Methodology™.

8. What is the value of a successful outcome*?

9. What is the return on investment?

A.  Rate of Success:  Divide the total number of successful outcomes by the total number of units of service.

B.  Absolute ROI

1.  Gross ROI:  Multiply the total number of successful outcomes by the $ value of a successful       outcome

2.  Net ROI:  Subtract the cost of the total expenditures from the Gross ROI

      C.  Ratio: Divide the Gross ROI by the total expenditures.
