Amy Salomon has more than 20 years of experience in applied research, human service program development, and technical assistance. She has been Director of Evaluation Studies at AHP since 2002, and is currently Director of the Center for Research and Evaluation. In these roles, Dr. Salomon oversees all staff working in the research and evaluation sector and is responsible for the day-to-day oversight for all AHP research and evaluation activities. The primary focus of her work has been on critical social issues, including family homelessness, substance abuse and co-occurring disorders, extreme poverty in women and children, public welfare, and interpersonal violence. Dr. Salomon is currently the lead evaluator for the State of Alaska’s Co-Occurring Disorder State Incentive Grant project (COSIG) for treatment of persons with co-occurring substance related and mental disorders, funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). She also is lead evaluator for a Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT)-funded Targeted Capacity Expansion Grant increasing substance abuse services to women victims of domestic violence living in rural Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Prior to coming to AHP, Dr. Salomon was Executive Director of the National Center on Family Homelessness (formerly the Better Homes Fund). She directed the Center’s National Institute of Mental Health-funded longitudinal study on family homelessness, considered one of the nation’s most comprehensive studies to date on risk factors for family homelessness.  Using these data, Dr. Salomon led a National Institute of Justice-funded study on The Etiology, Course and Consequences of Intimate Partner Violence against Extremely Poor Women.  She also served as the Center’s Project Director for a cross-site process evaluation of SAMHSA’s Women, Co-Occurring Disorders, and Violence Study.  Her areas of expertise include research and evaluation design and management; site visit methodology and protocol development, process and outcome measurement, focus group facilitation, and qualitative and quantitative methods.
