OBJECTIVES

The Raising Strong Families pilot project has four objectives: 

1. Support the most vulnerable  families in our region with a proactive, child focused lens.

2. Work to ensure that from a child's birth to their 8th birthday plans are developed, resources are aligned, skills are taught, and goals are established to best support the success of the family moving forward.

3. Limit the redundancy of support services

4. Align strategies between agencies to support the long-term needs of the families.

Outcomes Measures:

• By June 30, 2024, the rate of families served by the pilot teams who report they received effective care coordination will be 50% higher than the state average.*  

• By June 30, 2024, the rate of children served by the pilot teams who received needed services and did not have difficulty getting it will be 50% higher than the state average.
