CSI Liaison Satisfaction Survey
The survey that I have attached here is the survey that was just approved to send to all Liaisons with SC programs in their buildings. We have also asked Sharon and Sheila to complete one as well for their larger view. They have been emailed the survey this am to complete on each building and will return it to me completed by email or fax. We indicated to them in a memo that this is something we do yearly and that their responses will be kept confidential. Only myself, Rachel and Brenda will see the individual responses just so they feel free to share. We will share back with all of you the aggregate responses which will also be shared with Anne and Sheila at CSI and with HUD.
Thanks so much for your participation in the quality assurance processes. It really is a teamwork effort!
Please call or email if you have questions or ideas for improving the surveys for next year. Cheryl
