Survivor Outreach Services Program – Cost Benefit/Cost Effectiveness Analysis
Partnership/Type: Army
Status: Completed Project
The ACS Survivor Outreach Services (SOS) program is designed to provide long-term support to families of Fallen Soldiers. The Clearinghouse conducted a CBA to assess the program costs and impact of the SOS program. A conservative return-on-investment (ROI) of $1.59 for every dollar invested in the SOS program was established. This ROI represents a demonstrable improvement in the lives of survivors, as well as a positive ROI for the Army to society, allowing for a win-win for the Army.
