United for Families keeps data on all children in care on a daily basis. From databases such as Argos and HomeSafeNet, we can run current lists of children, ages, race, types of placement, address, placement history and case status . To place children in summer camp, United for Families will run data reports on children who are living in out-of-home care, including those living in licensed foster homes, and with relatives and non-relatives (such as neighbors). We will target Indian River County children ages 13 and older. Children who are under the age of 13 also will be targeted, though on a more limited basis. For those children, United for Families is seeking CSAC funds to pay for any summer-care expenses unmet through the Early Learning Coalition. These unmet expenses include registration and parent fees. Fthat ES: What data elements will you need to collect to show that you have or made progress toward) your Measurable Outcomes in Section D?

How often do you need to collect or follow-up on this I United for Families will use camp enrollment records, including the Early Learning Coalition' s authorization form and the UFF internal Camp Cover Sheet, to gauge enrollment numbers. We also will use placement and disruption reports generated monthly by the UFF Program Services Office. These reports will help us track the number of child disruptions caused by a lack of support. Finally, United for Families will conduct an annual survey of foster parents to determine the effectiveness of summer camp in retaining child placements. 3. REPORTING: What will you do with this information to show that change has occurred ? How will you use or present these results to the consumer, the funder, the program, and the community? How will you use this information to improve your program ? All data will be compiled in an annual report and distributed among management staff, the UFF board of directors, placement staff, case management agencies and foster parents. The data will be reviewed by all parties to determine what aspects of the program work best and what need change. While the summer program is in progress, data will be reviewed periodically to ensure that measurable objectives are being met. If they are not, the UFF executive management team and representatives from the local Foster Parent Association and case-management agencies will meet to discuss corrective action. 6
