What if…?
…we worked with the top researchers in the country to determine the best long-term approach to helping clients move beyond poverty and used this research to produce a program that could be replicated nationwide?• University of Notre Dame Lab for Economic

What if…?…we used these data to determine the key drivers for client success?
o Are certain CM teams more “successful” than others? o What is the impact over time on client success when
Padua collaborates with Key Community Partners?o What is the relationship between the type, frequency and
quality of services CM teams are providing to clients and client service plan progress?
o What changes do we see in client employment, housing, and transportation over time?
