Great Families 2020 is a major Social Innovation Fund grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service, which was awarded to United Way of Central Indiana. The Polis Center is working with partners to develop metrics to help improve family stability for five high risk neighborhoods in Indy.
The first major report for the Social Innovation Fund program evaluation is scheduled to be completed by the end of October. The Implementation Report summarizes progress towards fully unrolling the program at five sites in Indianapolis. Polis is providing quantitative analysis, and the Public Policy Institute (PPI) is summarizing findings from qualitative analysis. Once this report is complete, the evaluation will transition into assessing the impact of the program on its participants.
