Council Member Althea Stevens inquires about the Department of Youth & Community Development's (DYCD) reporting on Neighborhood Development Area (NDA) program performance. Mike Bobbitt, Deputy Commissioner, confirms the dissemination of historical reports and the forthcoming 2022 report. He elaborates on the Results Oriented Management and Accountability (ROMA) framework for assessing program impact and outlines the process for collecting and aggregating qualitative and quantitative outcome data to inform and enhance program delivery.
Speaker 1
0:27:03
Since 201, all CAAs including DYCD have been required to report on program performance.
0:27:10
Since the current NDA contract went into effect in 2022.
0:27:15
We'll have DYCD reports concluded about NDA program performance.
0:27:19
Can you share the report with the committee?
Speaker 3
0:27:21
Yes.
0:27:21
Thank you.
0:27:23
We have shared these reports historically, and we'll follow-up later on to make sure that you get the most recent.
0:27:29
I believe the most recent year was 2022.
0:27:31
I'll double check after the hearing, but we're working on a 2023.
0:27:35
So I believe it's Yeah.
0:27:36
2022.
0:27:37
So we'll have it when we complete transferred to 2023, we'll get that to the council.
0:27:42
As a community action agency, NYC relies on a nationally recognized framework called Roma, which stands for results oriented management and accountability.
0:27:52
Some principles for results oriented management include assessing poverty, which we've sort of else already needs the conditions of the community, defining a clear mission and strategies and services to address the needs, identifying specific results to be achieved.
0:28:06
Some of the principles for results oriented accountability include developing and implementing processes to measure and record improvements in the condition of people with low incomes.
0:28:17
So we espouse this throughout the CSPG funded portfolio and we use a national rubric of service indicators and outcome indicators.
0:28:28
So when we enter into contracts with providers along with enrollment targets, there's anticipated impact from the programs because NYC has a central database, a participant tracking system, As providers are working on the contract and enrolling participants, they're able to upload both qualitative information at case management notes.
0:28:49
As well as validated proof when the outcomes from their work are being realized.
0:28:54
And we're able to aggregate that information.
0:28:56
We do aggregate that on a quarterly and on an annual basis, we'll continue to share those reports with the council.
