Martha Melvin, Executive Director and Founder of ReFocus Outreach.

ReFocus Capacity-Building Project 2004 helped assure quality standards (ongoing assistance is being provided in-kind). ReFocus Ministry is committed to maintaining high quality in all its program activities. To this end, ReFocus invited CARC, the Connecticut AIDS Residential Coalition, to offer capacity-building workshops to strengthen ReFocus’ case management services, administrative procedures, and internal management, including leadership development, fundraising and marketing information management systems, health and safety procedures and OSHA regulations. A description of the capacity building activities is below:

Program Services and Operations-Residential services, case management, facility management, health and safety, including OSHA compliance.

Program Evaluation and Performance Management - Outcome-based program planning, development of evaluation plans and tools.

Leadership Development- Executive and team coaching, peer networking.
