| Brief Description of the
Project |
The California Department of Community Services
and Development (CSD) and the statewide Network of service providers have developed and
implemented a system of scales used in measuring outcomes of interventions by members of
the Network in their local communities. This three tier scaling structure examines
outcomes at the family, community, and agency levels, and is fully consistent with the six
national goals adopted by the Task Force.
This structure:
1. Incorporates local conditions and values into outcome measures;
2. Can be fully aggregated;
3. Is flexible in accommodating a wide spectrum of outcome measures.
This model has attained a considerable acceptance; variations are in use or under
consideration in at least forty "jurisdictions." This technical assistance grant
will support the continued effective use and replication of this system.
Under this grant and as a guide to others using or interested in this model, CSD will:
1. Publish an account of the development and implementation of the system in California,
including "lessons learned" and "best practices" identified;
2. Verify the credibility and legitimacy of the model;
3. Develop a self-assessment prototype for use by states and local agencies in conducting
ongoing assessment of capacity to track and report outcomes;
4. Identify potential approaches to linking California matrix scales with outcome-based
budgeting and design field test strategies for the most promising of these methodologies;
and
5. Perfect a simple automated database for use by local agencies for tracking and
aggregating scale-based outcomes. |

Statewide Reporting
Structure:
1) Electronic Data Transfers to State?
No
"Yes" indicates that agencies transfer
client/program reporting data to state either by:
- Completing annual NASCSP Information Survey
- Mailing disks with required CSBG monitoring data to the
state, or,
- Transfer data on-line.
2) State Reporting System Gathers Demographic Information on
Individual Clients?
Yes
"Yes" indicates data can be sorted at
the state level.
3) Required Fiscal Reports to State Performance-based?
No
"Yes" indicates agencies link the
delivery of services or outcomes to the invoicing process.
"No" indicates agencies may access a portion of their funds:
- Prior to beginning service delivery, and/or
- At regular calendar intervals throughout contract
period without regard to the number of units produced.
4) Local Agencies Report Outcomes to the State?
Yes
"Yes" indicates that the state can produce
report containing statistics of outcomes achieved throughout the state.
5) Local Agencies Report Counts on Services to State?
Yes
"Yes" indicates means that the state can
quantify the number and types of services delivered (not the number of people served).
6) State Provides Software to the Local Agencies for
Reporting CSBG Information?
No
"Yes" indicates local agencies use
standardized electronic reporting format.
7) Local Agencies Submit Information to the State for
Calculating Return-on-investment?
No
"Yes" indicates either
- Agencies submit information in their proposals and/or
reports to the state.
- Agencies provide data and the state calculations one
statewide report.
