r� <br />Section 5. Benchmarking <br />To ensure that the action steps meet and achieve the HRA goals, a system of <br />review or benchmarking will be established to provide a litmus test for success. <br />The benchmark program for the Housing Plan is reviewed by two factors. <br />1.) Comparison with similar communities <br />2.) Outcome based evaluations <br />The NRA's annual report will include a comparison of improvements, renovations, <br />programs and services with other first ring communities. The comparison will also <br />include funding levels and resources. <br />The Outcome Based Evaluation is a results oriented measurement of how the <br />various programs have made a difference in the City. This method provides <br />accountability to funders and the community at large. I n addition it provides a <br />return on the public investment and a sense that the community is getting <br />something for their money. The Outcome Based Evaluation approach helps <br />determine which programs are working, which are not and provides opportunities to <br />adjust strategies and tactics for increased effectiveness, as well as direct <br />resources to those programs with proven results. <br />Housing Plan — 2005 Page 21 iZosevi�Ie HRA <br />
