CVI isn’t new to Chicago – scaling it is. Prior to SC2, existing funding and capacity reached approximately 10-15% of Chicago’s highest risk. SC2 aims to take the lessons learned from this foundation and expand the reach to 75% of Chicago’s High-Risk Individuals (“HRIs”) over five years (2024-2029). Given this goal, the annual participant servicing goal of an annual 20% increase toward the target of 75% target saturation.
To determine an accurate count of High-Risk Individuals by neighborhood, SC2 works closely with participating organizations in each community coalition to blend a more traditional, statistical process of analysis with the street-level intel only available from those regularly working in the community. This model ultimately combines administrative data from Northwestern CORNERS, our Process Evaluation & Learning Partner; the street outreach community dashboards led by SC2’s Director of Implementation, Jorge Matos.
