practices are being utilized: project labor agreements, community benefits agreements,
prevailing wage requirements, and local hiring.

interventions and/or if projects
are being evaluated through rigorous program evaluations that are designed to build evidence.

evidence and evaluation, including how a Learning Agenda (either narrowly focused on SLFRF or
broadly focused on the recipient’s broader policy agenda) could support their overarching
evaluation efforts in order to create an evidence-building strategy for their jurisdiction.

indicators for your

indicators. Include both output and outcome measures.  See Section C(9) on page 27 of the
Reporting Guidance for additional information.
In addition, you must include the mandatory performance indicators if your jurisdiction has
projects in the relevant areas (this information may be included in each recipient’s Recovery
Plan as they determine most appropriate). Provide data disaggregated by race, ethnicity, gender,
income, and other relevant factors, if possible.  Data should be presented in a table and each
annual report should include updated data for the performance period as well as prior period
data.

evidence-based interventions, the evidence base for the interventions, and/or if projects

services across groups? Are there administrative requirements that result in disparities in
ability to complete applications or meet eligibility criteria?`,

service, or disaggregating progress by race, ethnicity, and other equity dimensions where
relevant for the policy objective?`,

education, jobs, and opportunity.`,

disparities and the social determinants of health, build stronger neighborhoods and
communities (e.g., affordable housing), address educational disparities (e.g., evidence-based
tutoring, community schools, and academic, social-emotional, and mental health
supports for high poverty schools), and promote healthy childhood environments (e.g., home
visiting, child care).`,
