The process evaluation will focus on:
* Documenting project implementations and determining efficient replication methods for effective program components,
* Monitoring completion of overall program goals and objectives, and
* Allow for quality improvement during the five year grant cycle.
The outcome evaluation which focuses on participant level impact will ask the following:
* Does participation in evidence-based relationship education improve healthy relationship skills for single or coupled enrollees?
* Does participation in partner education and support classes improve co-parenting relationship?
* Do participants have better attitudes toward their ability to manage money (i.e. savings, paying bills) after workshops in financial literacy and other money management services?
* Do participants have improved attitudes on their own employability after workshops targeted at job readiness?
* Does participation in job readiness preparation translate into improved employment prospects or readiness factors? (Readiness factors may include increased family assets and economic status.)
* Does participation in family care management sessions improve marriage/relationship, child and family well-being?
* Does participation in parenting education improve parenting skills and attitudes toward parenting? Does participation in parenting education improve commitment to parenting and children?
