CORE Investments FY 2022-23 Annual Report Highlights
Participant Data and Outcomes
A total of 106,935 participants received services by CORE-funded programs, nearly 6,000 more than the goals planned. The largest CORE program reported serving 61,397 unduplicated individuals.
Across CORE-funded programs, awardees reported meeting 81% of their contracted goals, measuring if participants were better off after receiving services. Other outcomes include:
-
One program prevented 18 families from becoming homeless.
-
Another program that was able to secure a location in Watsonville offered counseling and group sessions in Spanish.
-
One program reported improved access to nutritious meals for 284 participants.
-
Another program reported that 90 percent of callers experienced improved mental health outcomes after engaging with their program’s staff and volunteers.
Additionally, 94% of surveyed CORE program participants reported that they were either “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with program services.
A central focus of CORE is uncovering and addressing root causes of inequities to advance the CORE Conditions of Health and Well-Being. CORE-funded programs were asked to report on how their organization promoted equity:
-
31 programs (53%) provided equity-focused work trainings and workgroups for their staff and addressed issues of access.
-
14 programs (24%) increased the number of staff that reflect the population they serve including bilingual staff and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) staff.
-
32 programs (55%) worked to share best practices among staff through ongoing professional development opportunities as well as offering equity-related trainings and staff diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) workgroups.
We will continue to work closely with funded organizations and assist them in meeting their goals. Next steps include:
-
Conducting site visits and prioritizing programs that are struggling to meet their goals.
-
Offering program specific assistance based on the challenges and technical assistance needs identified in this report.
-
Collecting data from programs through semi-annual and annual reporting.
And, the CORE Institute will continue to offer trainings and technical assistance to both CORE-funded programs and the community focusing on identified needs.
