Outcomes Tools: Registering a House Name

The Outcomes Tool tracks data by the specific recovery house that a resident lives in. Residents will be selecting from over 250 other recovery homes to find the home he or she is living in. So, it is important that the identify of your organization and each recovery house is correct and rememberable.

Each physical property will be listed on a dropdown menu in the following format: Organization Name: House Name.

If your house doesn’t already have a name, you will have to give the house a name and remember other people can see these on the survey, so you might not want to use exact addresses for privacy purposes. ORH suggests using something rememberable, because using a house name like “House Number 1” the residents might not know that there may be multiple House Number Ones from different organizations.

Use things like Maple Street house for the house on Maple Street or the Main Street house or the house on Main Street. These are the types of house names that residents will remember more. But as you may have seen if you toured the Resident Survey, there are organizations with many recovery homes and they use the actual mailing address.

The important point here is that the resident will be selecting their recovery home from over 250 other recovery homes – just to find the home he or she is living in. So, it is important that he or she should easily find the recovery home by name to accurately complete and submit the survey.
