Q&A

Stevens questions performance metrics and provider review frequency

New York City Council · Jun 23, 2026 · starts 1:05:33 · 1 min 46 sec

Stevens asks what performance metrics are used and how often providers are reviewed. Harris says scored evaluations occur at least three times per year, with additional coaching and support as needed. Asherall adds strategic and corrective action plans are used for underperforming sites.

Althea V. Stevens

How do you, what performance metric are you using now to measure the providers?

Althea V. Stevens

How often are providers reviewed for contract compliance and program quality?

Threcia Harris

So at a minimum, three times a year, scored evaluation.

Threcia Harris

Summer, we look at the fall, the spring, and then we do other assessments in between.

Threcia Harris

If a provider needs additional coaching or support, that's where we step in, but we're measuring their...

Threcia Harris

Contractual requirements in terms of stats and numbers, but also in terms of just the quality of moving from one place to the other, the number of families they're engaging, that kind of thing.

Threcia Harris

So they are assessed.

Threcia Harris

I couldn't give you a stat right now, but...

Threcia Harris

Right, right.

Wanda Asherall

And I want to add, just to add to that, in addition to those various touch points, there's also frequent kind of like on-site coaching.

Wanda Asherall

We also, depending on what's also what's happening on the ground, right, there's some providers that, you know,

Wanda Asherall

could use some improvement.

Wanda Asherall

And so we may implement a strategic action plan or a corrective action plan.

Wanda Asherall

And then we are really intentional about looking at that plan and following it in a way to see progress.

Wanda Asherall

And so we're really detailed in that way.

Wanda Asherall

And then we also have our capacity building division who has numerous vendors that can do either on-site, one-on-one consultation, either

Wanda Asherall

at the site level or at the agency level.

Wanda Asherall

And that's in addition to like whatever.

Wanda Asherall

workshops are being made available for anyone to attend, any group leader.

Althea V. Stevens

To support the nonprofit as a provider.
