Develop and implement a dashboard tracking tools to collect data on RBA common outcome measures across Safety Net departments by 2026.
Summary of objective implementation status
To support effective Anti-Racist Results-Based Accountability (AR-RBA) implementation and data collection of common outcome measures across the safety net departments, the County adopted the Clear Impact Scorecard, an online data dashboard to transparently share program and community-level data and to support departments contracting with CBOs to standardize data collection and reporting, improve contract performance, and measure progress over time. The Scorecard is active and is currently being used to collect data for the contracts using RBA and AR-RBA. The four key metrics being used as part of this goal are:
Key milestone update
The Sonoma County Scorecard was originally built to share data reflecting the safety net departments’ contracted work. In response to an increase in safety net contracts using RBA and AR-RBA and the adoption of AR-RBA to support the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Community Resilience Programs (CRP), the Scorecard has been expanded. The ARPA CRP Scorecard was launched October 24, 2023. The Sonoma County Scorecard, which continues to reflect the contract work of the safety net departments, was launched February 9, 2024.

Coordination and partnership update
The Human Services Department (HSD) is leading both 2.1 and 2.2 which are complementary efforts. 2.1 establishes the AR-RBA framework and 2.2 produces the Dashboard to monitor progress. All ARPA CRP grantees have developed performance measures using the AR-RBA framework and are reporting and publishing their data on the Clear Impact Scorecard. The Human Services Department (HSD), the Probation Department, and the Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) have published data on the Clear Impact Scorecard (DCSS does not currently have an active contract using AR-RBA). HSD and Probation are including AR-RBA requirements in all new contracts when the framework is appropriate. The Department of Health Services (DHS) has used RBA for managing contracts in the Homelessness Services Division, however that work is not currently active. DHS is using AR-RBA to manage contracts in the Behavioral Health Division under the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA). As of this update, DHS has declined to publish data via the Clear Impact Scorecard.
Community, equity and climate update
Working with the Office of Equity, we have universally adopted the use of AR-RBA to be used across all appropriate safety net department contracts, including all contracts funded under the ARPA CRP.
Objective funding
No funding is needed for ongoing costs related to the Scorecard subscription fee. These costs are currently being covered by HSD and ARPA.
