Summary

This document summarizes the findings from three RAND reports on the Long Term Family Self-Sufficiency Plan in Los Angeles County. RAND analyzed historical data to establish trends against which to monitor future countywide impacts, and interviewed key informants about the Plan. We present the data results. We also conclude that the framework was a useful planning tool for the County; its use in implementation and evaluation is more complicated.
