This PPT provides a more in-depth overview of RBA key elements, including population and performance accountability and performance measures.

Trainings

United Way of Greater New Haven is pleased to offer a series of trainings to assist organizations in preparing applications for the 2010 Community Investment Process.

New for this year is UWGNH's implementation of Results Based Accountability (RBA) throughout our community impact work. RBA is a tool to assist UWGNH and its partners to work together to improve program performance and change population-level results. Two trainings are being offered that will cover the basics of RBA, one for Income applicants and one for Success By 6 applicants. The Income training will be held in partnership with the Annie E. Casey Foundation, and both trainings will focus on understanding how RBA applies to the upcoming funding opportunities offered by UWGNH and AECF. Organizations that plan to apply for funding from UWGNH are strongly encouraged to attend the appropriate training.

Overview

On January 26, 2010, the UWGNH Board of Directors approved the Agenda for Change, which will guide our work over the next three years as we seek to advance the common good in Greater New Haven. This Agenda was developed in partnership with numerous content experts and community members who serve as UWGNH volunteers and reflects a careful review of the data about our region and the results of UWGNH-supported work over the past several years.

A Little Rest for the Weary; Abrahams Tent Gives Homeless Men the Chance to “Feel at Home”

Submitted by Kathy Hart-Jones on Tue, 2010-02-09 18:20

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Rabbi Herb Brockman from Congregation Mishkan Israel in Hamden. As the winter months were approaching, he met with other members of the Interfaith Cooperative Ministries to discuss the homeless situation in New Haven. The coalition, consisting of 41 churches, synagogues and mosques, recruited 19 congregations to create Abraham’s Tent, where for 12 weeks they will host and provide food and a home for homeless men. To hear Herb tell the story of how this came about brought tears to my eyes. He said “we have to do this; we have to find a way to make this work”. I still get chills thinking about it and remember how his enthusiasm was contagious and heart warming.
