Outcomes-focused Funding
Outcomes-focused Funding
Funding in this way leverages the efficient and effective use of resources to solve challenging social and economic problems with new solutions. We work to provide successful outcomes for individuals, families and businesses through varied approaches. Outcomes-focused funding allows for the comparison of results across different intervention models, “in-flight” course correction, identification of best practices and ultimately, a cycle of continuous improvement.
In August 2022, we launched a brand-new effort to providing high-quality social services to our customers called UC San Diego Extended Studies Tech Certificate Program. This new program will provide targeted skills training to 400 San Diegans in three years, helping them land tech jobs making $40,000 or more a year.
