Cross Systems Data to Support Outcomes Focused Financing

Critical data elements to use in planning

CSH produced this publication to make the feasibility stage of planning a Pay for Success initiative a little easier. Part of “getting to yes” for data sharing is to know what to ask for – this publication is a tool to help begin those conversations and includes common data elements across a range of public systems that are key to the outcomes-focused project lifecycle. The information presented here will help translate across systems what data may be captured and useful for the purposes of planning an outcomes-focused supportive housing intervention. The Appendix of this report offers some real world examples from four sites that have executed data matches during the planning phase of their supportive housing projects.
