Our self sufficiency matrix helps evaluate our client's overall stability

Midtown's self-sufficiency matrix allows us to break down the complex and interdependent factors that impact an individuals health, wealth, and happiness into measurable statistics that we use to make decisions and evaluate success.

• Self-sufficiency is broken down into 18 unique but interdependent domains
• Each domain is objectively graded on a scale of 1-5
• Specific, measurable, and timely actions are identified for every domain in which clients are not yet self-sufficient that, if completed, will enable clients to achieve self-sufficiency
• Self-sufficiency is remeasured every 3 months to evaluate the individual clients' progress

OUR METHODOLOGY

Why use a self-sufficiency matrix?

Self-sufficiency matrices are used to measure the impact and outcomes of social programs all over the United States. Studies have shown that organizations who use a self-sufficiency matrix see a statistically significant increase in positive outcomes.
