Using common metrics allows us to gather data more effectively and demonstrates the impact allocated funding has on the City and its residents. These same projected outcomes will also be required to be reported on in the year-end report to determine if organizations have met their targets. All organizational outcomes will be compiled and a report will be provided to City Council.
As an example, if one projected outcome an organization aims to achieve using City of Moncton grant funds is to have 25 clients obtain safe and stable housing, that same objective needs to be reported on in the year-end report, and the organization must indicate how many clients they were successful in helping to obtain safe and stable housing. In other words, the organization is setting an objective of what it wants to achieve, and then it must report on what the actual results were.
