INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY LEVEL

Module 4

OCS, NASCSP, ANCRT | CSBG Annual Report: Module 4 3

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT| FAMILY LEVEL WORK

• Individuals and Families often come to CAAs for services to meet a critical, immediate need. We believe that we must help to stabilize them, at least for a short term period, before we can help them move to economic security.

• Individuals and Families often are experiencing need in multiple domains (food, housing, income, etc.)

• As individuals and families achieve outcomes in one or multiple domain(s), they are able to meet their family’s basic needs.

OCS, NASCSP, ANCRT | CSBG Annual Report: Module 4 4

CURRENT | CSBG IS REPORTING

• A mix of outcomes and outputs are reported• It may take many years to reach an outcome

(like post secondary education), so the CAA’s work isn’t seen in every report period (just in the “last” one)

OCS, NASCSP, ANCRT | CSBG Annual Report: Module 4 5

OUTCOMES, SERVICES, PEOPLE

• At the individual and family level, ROMA Next Generation moves to connect outcomes, services and participants to facilitate robust analysis.– Outcomes (Examples): Obtained jobs, completed education,

increased income, improved parenting, secured housing (Proposed Family Level Performance Indicators)

– Services (Examples): Job Training, Work Experience, Scholarships, Financial Education, Support Groups, Housing Counseling, Food Assistance (Family Level Services).

– People: Unduplicated count of people served. All participant characteristics (income, job status, education, etc.); and, participants at the time they first engage.

MODIFICATIONS MADE

• Indicators provide a means to measure achievement of or movement towards the long term goals.

• Document the number of people who receive services and the number who achieved outcomes.

• Provide data for analysis: – What change was expected?– What change happened? – How does the actual change compare with the expected change?

• How accurate were the projections? – What percent of people served achieved the outcome?

INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY LEVEL | NATIONAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY LEVEL| NATIONAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS REPORTING

• Agencies only report on those NPIs that are relevant to achieving the goals and outcomes set by the CAA based on local needs and conditions.

• The Annual Report does not mandate the use of any of the proposed outcome indicators –but rather does provide a set of standardized indicators based on those that have proven effective at the family level for many years.

OCS, NASCSP, ANCRT | CSBG Annual Report: Module 4 11

• Organized by Domains:1. Employment2. Education and Cognitive Development3. Income and Asset Building4. Housing5. Health and Social/Behavioral Development6. Civic Engagement and Community Involvement7. Outcomes Across Multiple Domains

PROPOSED SERVICES LIST

• New list in the Annual Report• The things (services) we deliver to individuals and

families • Critics have cited that some of our outputs and

outcomes are mixed together• Services and outcomes have been separated so that

we can better understand and tell the story of what services are being provided by the Network to achieve results for individuals and families.

OCS, NASCSP, ANCRT | CSBG Annual Report: Module 4 13

• Arranged by domains to match the NPIs– Employment– Education and Cognitive Development– Income and Asset Building– Housing– Health and Social/Behavioral Development– Support Services

• Services provided to support agency efforts in the employment, education, income/asset building, housing and health domains. These are services that support efforts/activities in multiple domains.

– Civic Engagement and Community Involvement
