| Brief Description of the
Project |
The Division of Community Action Agencies has
been working with the National Resource Center for Family Centered Practice of the
University of Iowa to develop, as part of the standardized intake process, a system to
measure outcomes of CAA programs/services. This outcome-based system provides concrete
data regarding the impact of these programs on those served by CAAs. The system measures
incremental changes in individual, family and community status.
This grant will allow for the following further development of this initiative:
1. Statewide use of technical development and support for the outcome measures program;
2. Expansion of the role of the National Resource Center to analyze results and assist
with development of a reporting system for use at the national, state, and local levels;
3. Development of a better community needs assessment capabilities to improve CAA planning
efforts;
4. Development of a statewide collaborative CAA/state support network to provide
assistance to CAAs in administering the outcome measures program; and
5. Sharing of the model with other states and CAAs. |
