Please describe your organization's outcome tracking system that will enable you to fulfill the outcome selected above. <br />Assistance League of Santa Ana (ALSA) measures program outcomes by tracking the mrmber of students served by the OSB program. <br />Each year we seek to provide appropriate clothing, shoes, and school supplies to a greater number of low-income children. <br />For the 2005-2006 school year, we increased the number of school uniforms provided to each child to two shirts and two pams/shorts <br />rather than one. Phis outcome allows students to alternate uniforms so that they have clean clothing each day. <br />OSB will increase its efficiency and impact by working with school personnel to decrease the number of students who do not show up <br />for their appointmem. <br />OSB receives referrals from nurses and teachers in the SAUSD. Students' financial eligibility to receive ck~ring has bcen verified by <br />the school. Due to our service to a transient population and with respect to families' privacy, ALSA does not track families served once <br />assistance has been given. ALSA only tracks how many times a child has received clothing. The maximum <br />is four times per child. However, qualitative feedback from school personnel indicates that studens are more eager to attend school <br />and participate more actively in the classroom when they have proper clothing and basic school supplies. The children who come to <br />the ALSA facility to be fitted with new clothes consistently reward ALSA volunteers with big smiles of appreciation and excitement. <br />A_t <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
