For Vacaville organizations
Why Vacaville organizations should watch
A food site can tell someone where to go next. Nobody checks whether they got there. Operation Iron Gate is the referral-accountability pilot Pathfinders for Hope is building in Vallejo, in the same county, so a referral counts as finished when the person arrives, not when it is sent.
Get on the map
Before anyone can be tracked to a resource, someone has to know the resource exists. Pathfinders for Hope is building a community resource map for pilot planning in Solano County. Vacaville pantries, meal programs and every other door people are sent to belong on it. Get on the map.
Follow the North Bay Pilot
The measurement standard is published before the pilot begins. Housing retention at 90 days leads, with checkpoints at 30, 60, 90 and 180 days, and the results go public whether they are good or bad. See the pilot.
