UPDATE: SSVF Customer Satisfaction Report
On February 18, 2022, each SSVF Grantee received the Q1 Veteran Customer Service Satisfaction report. The report contains an in-depth review of the results of the survey at a Grantee level with a comparison to the SSVF national survey results. After hearing feedback from several SSVF Grantees, an internal review has determined that due to a labeling error, questions 6, 7 and 8, regarding satisfaction with staff, were labeled incorrectly. We sincerely apologize for the error and any impact this has caused on SSVF staff. The corrected 1st Quarter survey will be issued on or before March 23, 2022.
Please see the recording from the March 10, 2022, SSVF National Webinar titled: “Veteran Satisfaction Survey Updates & HMIS Data Entry Review” for more information. https://youtu.be/qrUCUq4RzvM
The PDF of the presentation and transcription of the video will be available early next week.
