Community-Led Solutions Aim to Measure Systemic Barriers

Supported by the Mission Economic Development Agency (MEDA), the Mission Promise Neighborhood (MPN) is a
place-based collective impact initiative in the Mission District of San Francisco, an area with a high population of Latino immigrants. MPN is part of a national network of Promise Neighborhoods, initially funded by the U.S. Department of Education that collaborates with partners to improve student outcomes by providing a continuum of support for children and families from prenatal stages through career development. To better address structural barriers preventing student achievement, three years ago, MPN was tasked with developing a report card to address how data on these barriers could be collected and analyzed.
