Policy Target
Entry requirements for community services and programs
EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGY
Initiatives remove rigid program access requirements that can exclude disadvantaged people.
SAMPLE INDICATORS
- Number/percentage of people feeling not afraid of applying for the programs and services because of potential life changes
- Number/percentage of applications relative to need (i.e., level of unmet needs decrease)
EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGY
Initiatives remove contingencies and conditions that limit enrolment (e.g., providing matched savings, which is by design contingent on initial savings and housing loans for high-engagement participants).
SAMPLE INDICATORS
- Ratio of recipients to people who meet program eligibility criteria
- Annual recipiency rates
- Number/percentage of people who report feeling encouraged to register in the programs and services
- Number/percentage of people with multiple, complex needs who have their benefits granted
EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGY
Initiatives provide support for all people who are interested to sustain or achieve the minimum targets for participation.
SAMPLE INDICATORS
- Number/percentage of recipients feeling motivated to continue participating in the programs and services
- Number/percentage of recipients fulfilling the minimal requirements
- Perceived benefits of program
