(1) The number of participants served.
(2) The types of services that were provided to program participants.
(3) The outcomes for participants, including the number who graduated to independent living, the number who remain in or moved to permanent housing, the number who ceased to participate in the program, and the number who returned to state prison.
(4) The number of participants who successfully completed parole and transitioned to county mental health programs.
