Healthy Food Access: Improve Resident Health. Save Site Money (from Assisted Housing Management Insider)
Residents at assisted sites often have difficulty finding affordable and healthy food. Assisted sites are often located in neighborhoods where food options are limited to convenience stores, liquor stores, or fast food restaurants that offer low-cost but unhealthy snacks and meals. Supermarkets, grocery stores, and other retailers that offer fresh produce and other healthy food choices either may be miles away, making it difficult for residents without transportation to shop for healthier options, or may be too expensive for low-income residents to afford the healthy food.
Indeed, low-income residents who try to buy more produce and other healthy food can spend a disproportionate amount of their monthly income on food, making it more difficult to pay their other expenses. They often must make difficult monthly decisions, whether to use their limited income to buy food or to pay other household expenses, such as their share of the unit’s rent, utilities, healthcare, telephone, and transportation costs to get to or look for work, says Jan Kasameyer, resident services program supervisor at Home Forward, the housing authority in Portland, Ore.

It summarizes that donors want more information about how charities will use donations and achieve their missions. For charities, impact measurement is important to prove their effectiveness to donors. Beneficiaries will benefit from increased funding going to high-impact charities. The document advocates for a rating system that evaluates charities on financial health, governance, transparency, and results to direct donations to organizations that create the most social value.
This document discusses the importance of accountability, transparency, and results reporting in the nonprofit sector. It notes that currently there is little evidence that most nonprofits produce social value. It outlines Charity Navigator's evolution from rating financial health to also rating organizational accountability, transparency, and mission results. Accurate performance measurement is critical for donors, charities, and beneficiaries. Increased accountability and transparency will lead to more nonprofits focusing on measuring their impact and improved human welfare over time by directing funds to effective organizations.
