self-sufficient and fulfilling life.

So….What is Poverty?

The Needle is not Moving

State and Local Statistics

Why Padua? Why Now? Time to change the narrative

Aiming too low

Faulty assumption

Too many silos

Test a new model of case management

Provide the data and research necessary for change

Based on 2009-2013 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates

What if …

What if…?We COLLABORATED with other to make our “what ifs” a reality?

What if…?

…we worked with the top researchers in the country to determine the best long-term approach to helping clients move beyond poverty and used this research to produce a program that could be replicated nationwide?• University of Notre Dame Lab for Economic

Opportunities (LEO)• CCUSA

What if…?

…we knew more about our clients and the services they receive?• Strengths• Goals• Collaborations• Dosage and frequency• Outcomes

What if ……..we were staffed for success?• Research, Data and Evaluation Services• Categories of data

o Clientso Case Management Serviceso Internal programso Key Community Partners

What if…?…we used these data to determine the key drivers for client success?

o Are certain CM teams more “successful” than others? o What is the impact over time on client success when

Padua collaborates with Key Community Partners?o What is the relationship between the type, frequency and

quality of services CM teams are providing to clients and client service plan progress?

o What changes do we see in client employment, housing, and transportation over time?
