Evaluation capacity of CDBG-funded youth organizations
Milwaukee
Summary
The data/research committee talked with 11 youth-serving organizations that get community development block grants and found evaluation is under-resourced: groups measure headcounts, not long-term impact, and rarely involve youth in designing evaluations. Orgs want a shared city-supported data platform, training, and simpler funder reporting.
