THE GOALTo move 1,000 people out of poverty within one year.

THE STRATEGYThe committed organizations will form a network in which each

organization commits to select a cohort of its clientele to move outof poverty as defined by the Step Up Self Sufficiency Measure. Theorganizations agree to intentionally collaborate with one another toreach this goal.

THE DIFFERENCE

Typically success is measured by outputs: the number of servicesreceived. This pilot will measure how many clients get out ofpoverty.

Never before has this community used a common measurementsystem to evaluate whether its combined services move people

out of poverty.

What do we want to learn from the 1,000 campaign?1. Can multiple agencies use the same outcomes measure?2. Can the government use the same measure? The County and Cities?3. What can we learn from the measurement?

Is it meaningful or not? Does the intervention work or not? What are the bright spots?

Do we see improvement or not? Do referrals happen more seamlessly or not? Does case managed service work better than non-case managed service?

Provider intentionality? How much does it cost for how long? How intense? What are the barriers?

Regulation, Technology, Lack of resources, Categorical funding/ notflexible

What policies need to change? Were the participant engaged in decision-making?

4. Can government & NPO share data? Demographic, Poverty Cause/Solution?
