    The United Way of Central Indiana (UWCI) Great Families 2020 (GF2020) initiative began in 2016 and sought to provide financial stability to families in Indianapolis. The GF2020 service delivery model used a two-generational (2Gen) approach that simultaneously addressed the needs of parents/caregivers and their children (ages 0–6). The program used case management to direct families to evidence-based interventions and wraparound services. GF2020 was implemented across eight subgrantees and their partners located within five neighborhoods in Indianapolis. This brief highlights the need for future 2Gen services that could help families meet their basic needs—specifically, assistance with transportation, rent, and utilities. Further, we discuss the need to broaden future 2Gen services in Indianapolis.

    (Center for Research on Inclusion & Social Policy, 2021-03) Lawrence, Roxy; Camacho-Reyes, Karla; Purcell, Jacob; Byrd, Kourtney
    In 2016, the United Way of Central Indiana (UWCI) was awarded a Social Innovation Fund (SIF) grant to develop and implement the Great Families 2020 (GF2020) service delivery model in Indianapolis. GF2020’s goal was to improve financial stability among families in Indianapolis by using a two-generational (2Gen) approach. The model was implemented across eight subgrantees and their partners located within five geographic areas of Indianapolis. This brief examines how participating subgrantees and partner organizations have benefited from their collaboration in GF2020, with particular emphasis on leveraging and sustaining collaborative efforts for 2Gen programming.
