community stabilization.•As a result of our efforts, the Chicago region will be measurably safer, and people will feel safe

in each neighborhood.•More stable communities will empower residents and offer more options for work, school, and

shopping within your own neighborhoods.

CYSR CASE REVIEW PROCESS

Preview a framework of a report card

Agreeing on how to report progress will help align multiple stakeholders and instill

accountability:

• General public. Understand our approach and progress made

• Decision-makers. Inform investment priorities by understanding areas in which we are

more and less successful

• Service providers. Provide clarity on which outcomes to target and what to track;

highlight best practices

The report card should address both our goals

• Reducing violence. How violent crimes compares to that of other big cities, where

we're trending, and what's happening at a community level

• Stabilizing communities. Aggregate measures of how we're doing on the key

strategies of prevention, intervention, and response
