What has been achieved thus far?
Align
-
We have come to consensus with our anchor partners and across 6 neighborhoods on key priorities: Strengthening Families; Empowering Youth and Protecting Youth.
-
All have agreed upon the importance a common approach and collaborating across neighborhoods with anchor institutions.
-
All have agreed upon decision making protocols that have been developed with community stakeholders.
-
All have agreed that we are all accountable to solutions and will determine how we will be reporting progress to inform a countywide accountability process.
-
All six neighborhoods have integrated the Together for Children Referral/Family case management process in the neighborhood action plans.
Support
-
Coalitions supporting each other across neighborhoods building and the benefits of it.
-
Anchors are integrated in action plans and supporting all neighborhoods as partners not just from a program by program perspective.
-
In the development of the action plans, we are regularly determining/assessing gaps in services and identifying opportunities on how coalitions can advocate collectively.
-
Small service providers and/or residents (who often times have a greater understanding of neighborhoods) are now working with larger entities and anchors which in turn builds their capacity to advocate for their neighborhood’s needs.
Measure
-
When initially launched there were reservations and distrust from the community about the use of data about regarding children and families.
-
Through Together for Children, consensus on approach to accountability at the neighborhood level and the countywide level has been achieved.
