Particularly the balance of how many neighborhoods vs. how much fundings (Promise Nighborhoods + PPPs)

For PPPs, real potential in the structure - but not enough funding to actually drive the program

Not a dearth of good ideas - but not the $$$ to pay for it.

The political destabilization in Congress that doesn't allow the basics - let alone more innovative

(it's not about politics until it is!)

Challenge of funding -
fragmentation (some of for states, some for agencies, etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
Hard to find the right balance - when programs have come from particular agencies, their agency histories/priorities, they aren't as easy to braid - difficult to do that work across

Who is the right entity to do this work across agencies?

# data[].attributes.body
And then there are challenges at the local level when you are looking to push braiding - since $$$ are already spoken for and there are not new $$$

# data[].attributes.body
Needing for support at local level to know how to drive that kind of braiding

# data[].attributes.body
At local level, often those perceived barriers to braiding - that might not be real.

Key question - when is a waiver actually necessary?

Role of philanthropy + capacity building

Role of philanthropy + capacity building

# data[].attributes.body
Need to invest more to get to the starting gate.

Same communities winning over and over.

# data[].attributes.body
Can also be real value of having multiple programs

(e.g. Promise Zones really pushed people to get around the table to work more)

# data[].attributes.body
Feds not providing enough resources

Locals struggle to have capacity to reach up to apply/receive resources

Opportunity - finding ways to invest in those communities to reach up

# data[].attributes.body
So many programs are pilots/short-term and ask for match.

Require a philanthropic match - and they struggle to maintain momentum beyond the initial period

# data[].attributes.body
Promise neighborhoods - having to start over again -- going deep in one place vs. trying to spread the program to new communities

# data[].attributes.body
Having multiple programs in one place (e.g. Promise Zones) really incentivizes multiple fed funding streams as well as philanthropic support

# data[].attributes.body
Revisit those places where there was progress, if not the permanent mission.

Build upon some of the ideas that have been effective in the past (the evidence-based approaches/programs)

# data[].attributes.body
How do we do a better job of identifying the agencies that hold together these cross-cutting efforts to allocate funding/maintain program over a longer period of time?

# data[].attributes.body
More than just two agencies!

Looking for better functionality between agencies - natural alignments to do business better together. That is not just special, but becomes part of culture.

# data[].attributes.body
Really look to places where the private philanthropy

Feds model the behavior we want to see in local places!
