Evaluation and governance
Data and evaluation
Evaluators, staff, and community partners are working together to review data to inform COO strategies and evaluate the progress of COO. COO stakeholders and community partners will provide input on evaluation activities, interpretation and dissemination of findings.
The evaluation will be designed to answer the question,
To what extent and in what ways has the initiative's cross-cutting strategies strengthened community connections and increased equity in housing, health, and economic conditions in King County?
Check back on this page for more details as the COO evaluation plan is finalized.
