OUR IMPACT

Real People. Stronger Systems. Lasting Change.

We measure impact by how effectively evidence improves programs, strengthens communities, expands opportunity, and supports better outcomes for people navigating reentry.

From Evidence to Lasting Impact.

HOW CHANGE HAPPENS

Our work connects rigorous inquiry with practical action, creating a clear pathway from research to stronger outcomes.

Study needs, barriers, programs, and promising practices using rigorous and community-centered methods.

RESEARCH

Turn findings into accessible recommendations, tools, training, and policy guidance.

TRANSLATE

Work with partners to strengthen programs, practices, and systems.

APPLY

Track implementation, learn from results, and refine approaches over time.

MEASURE

Impact is not a single number—it is a continuous process of learning, application, accountability, and improvement.

ACCOUNTABILITY & LEARNING

What We Measure.

Measures will vary by project and partner, but our evaluation work focuses on whether initiatives are implemented well, reach the intended communities, and contribute to meaningful change.

IMPLEMENTATION

Participation, reach, quality, fidelity, and barriers to delivery.

INDIVIDUAL OUTCOMES

Stability, employment, education, well-being, connection, and progress identified by participants.

SYSTEMS IMPACT

Policy, practice, coordination, resource allocation, and the use of evidence in decision-making.

PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT

What is working, for whom, under what conditions, and what should change.

We will publish verified findings and impact updates as projects are completed.

FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE

Our Impact Reporting Will Grow With Our Work.

As research projects, evaluations, and partnerships are completed, we will share verified findings, lessons learned, community-informed insights, and progress updates.
