Policy & Practice February 2015

Three years ago we introduced our member- driven Pathways initiative, which provides a guiding framework to transform the human service system and hold all of us accountable for results that matter: gainful employment and independence; stronger and healthier families and communities; and the sustained well-being of youth. 1 Pathways envisions a system that delivers the right service at the right time for the right duration, ultimately reducing dependency on government services and achieving better outcomes at lower costs. It uses modern business models, maximizes information through analytics, and values innovation, all with a resolute focus on doing what works. It is supported by flexible funding streams that incentivize improved outcomes and is marked by strong partnerships that reach across sectors and leverage resources and strengths of the full community.
