The purpose of the CURA funded GIFT Project - Phase I was to finalize the design of the GIFT Project in order to measure the degree to which all planned project components are currently being executed. The objectives for this summer project was to compile an annotated bibliography of best practices for working with women in prostitution and to evaluate the current functioning of GIFT through participant observation of the GIFT project in action at 1201 East Lake Street, Minneapolis, MN. The data was gathered to evaluate how closely the program was following the organizing principles, operating under the program logic model, and to find possible service gaps to be addressed as GIFT moves forward. Participant observation data was collected from May 26 2008 through August 11, 2008.enCommuniversityMinneapolisPowderhorn Park neighborhoodprostitutesprostitutionsex workersReport
