Measuring progress toward self-sufficiency for transition age youth in foster care

Child Trends, our Foster Youth Initiative’s Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning partner, developed a Results Framework that defines the initiative’s goals, establishes benchmarks of progress toward those goals, and specifies evidence of the expected progress in both Los Angeles and New York City. The Results Framework is based on the 2017–2022 strategy, input from Foundation staff, conversations with grantees, and assessments of grantee reports and materials.
