Story Behind the Curve

FY21

The number of youth connected to resources appears to be trending in the wrong direction.  However, in previous years, youth were connected to several resources  and they were counted for each connection.  For FY21, the youth were only counted once for a resource connection.  Also the program secured additional funding, which was used to provide many of the resources needed by the youth. The program provided gift cards for food, clothes and transportation in addition to funds for maintaining housing or securing housing. Because the program provided most of the resources internally, there were fewer external referrals/connections needed which caused this performance measure to trend downward.

FY19

There was a significant decrease in the number of referrals made to community services and employment programs during FY19 compared to FY18. The decrease in referrals is a result of the New Horizons staff meeting many of the needs of homeless students through internal supports and connections instead of through referrals.  In addition, students returning from the FY18 school year did not require as much service connection (or still had an active referral/connection) in FY19 as they may have had in the previous year.
