Definition

Though the Strategy Map as approved in May 2020 called for a "% of individuals served", it was determined that providing a "# of individuals connected" would be more impactful as a measure given the data available from partner agencies. - AM, 8/06/20 -

Story Behind the Curve

The intention of this performance measure is to provide evidence of the many referrals made by UWSC partner agencies to decrease food insecurity and increase nutrition. It should be understood as an undercounting of referrals made as only some partners collect this data and, even then, often do not document each referral given limited staffing and intensity of client needs.

Partners

The following partner agencies tabulate this data:

  • Good Neighbor Emergency Assistance (as of FY23)
  • MICA Family Development Center - MICA regularly makes referrals and reports by referral categories on a monthly basis. The data included here comes from the "Nutrition" category and the "Seniors" category (the latter includes referrals for commodity food boxes and meals-on-wheels).
  • MGMC Home Health - Community Clinics (as of FY23)
  • The Salvation Army Service Center - TSA staff also regularly make referrals. At the present time (FY19-20), their food insecurity/nutrition data comes from client self-reporting on various intake forms. The data reported here, then, is not exclusively new referrals, but rather also captures existing benefits (ex/SNAP).
  •  YSS Service Coordination program - data reported from FY20-21 and beyond.
