Our Impact

Monitoring and Evaluation

Monitoring and evaluation is a process by which organizations track the impact and measure the effectiveness of their programs. At Under the Same Tree, we do this in a number of ways. Our monitoring and evaluation measures and methods include repayment tracking, meeting attendance, in-home visits, interviews, profit &  budget tracking, and self-evaluations. This data is collected on a quarterly and annual basis. Because of our preventative approach, we measure both increases in family stability AND decreases in family vulnerabilities.

What We Measure

Mental/Emotional

Reported decreases in stress and anxiety

Maintaining friendships and community
