Identify and describe each the following:
Organization that is providing the funding and oversight
Title of the grant

Summary of CSA program
The CSA was founded in 1989 to assist people to go through and accomplish the different levels of needs to reach their highest potential. However, to fully understand and care for people's needs, such organizations have to demonstrate the different principles that are needed to achieve care successfully.
Goals of the new program
* Ideally, the organization usually provide services that meet human needs in the form of case management, behavioral health and Transitional Supportive Housing Program which are more adaptable. The essay herein presents an analysis of CSA and its care strategies.
* To successfully provide all service, CSA has different personnel involved have specialized skills in case management, behavioral health, and TSHP.
* Besides, they have the knowledge, attitude, and skills which enable them to provide client-oriented services.
Major program interventions
* Based on the document presented, it is noted that CSA follows a single point criterion. The management focuses on clients uniquely to ensure single point responsibility for the person targeted who get the services to meet the needs. It has a good structure single service for continuity (Amani & Shabahang, 2017).
* The management typically follows the stipulated protocols and procedures to mobilize the resources through a negotiated formal system as well as ensuring that appropriate network is followed. Such networks may include self-help groups, three-quarter-way houses, and neighbors among others.

This is based on a pure understanding of the person's experience and the environment they are in. For example, a person with addiction disorder has to understand the nature of substance abuse and its impacts and other related issues due to the condition. This henceforth forms the context of case management service provision since it reveals the psychosocial problems, anticipates the impacts and helps the client to get the needs. This results in the minimal level of care service necessary so that the client has a healthy life with minimal interruptions (Jensen, Decker & Andersen, 2006). The CSA uses these criteria when implementing the behavioral health services to people since it works well in individual, family, and group counseling to assist clients with problems of depression, addictions, anxiety, identity issues, career issues, coping with illness as well as disabilities. On the same note, the CSA expertise can perform the psychiatric evaluation, monitor patients under medication as well as treatment. At the same time, the peer support specialists and recovery coaches exhibit improved outcome especially on group therapy for personal growth, determination and client are planning and evaluation of choices that are productive (Jensen, Dec...
