provision. Removing barriers to access and navigation of
services. Integrating services to solve for the crisis and put
individuals on a path towards self-sufficiency. Fueled by the creation of networks to meet a variety of
needs in the community. Outcome driven, with specific metrics tied to the self-
sufficiency matrix.

family needs. The household has a way to provide for all basic needs
of healthy daily living. Family has the mindset that you can make the future
better than the past.

• Other geographies will be considered
• Create a comprehensive system of care for struggling families
• Coordination of services is a good start, but strong Network will go beyond this
• More than agencies that just provide services and share information

23
• Investment Range and Funding
• 2 year funding cycle
• Funding – up to $300K ( size may vary due to activities)
• Must meet other eligibility requirements
Strategy 4: Food Initiative

The Self-Sufficiency Index
• UWSEM will begin to utilize a version of the Self-Sufficiency index to evaluate the impact of investments on individuals and families.
• 15 domains (such as housing, employment, child care, food) are used to measure an individual’s level of self-sufficiency. Each domain is measured with a five point scale.
• A score of 1 means the client is in “Crisis”
• A score of 2 means the client is “Stabilized”
• A score of 3 means the client is “Sufficient”
• A score of 4 means the client is “Self-Sufficient”
• A score of 5 mean the client is “Sustainably Self-Sufficient”
