Ques:ons & Answers Council of State Governments Jus:ce Center 7  What is Pay for Success? • New financial instrument to support discre:onary social programming – Brings evidence-based programs to the necessary scale • Can support programs that: – Involve significant start-up costs but long-term savings – Serve large popula:ons – Involve poli:cal or programma:c risks • PFS addresses these programs with private capital – Offers an investment return if the program meets performance goals – Government only pays for successful outcomes • Some:mes called “social impact bonds” – PFS does not operate like a bond Council of State Governments Jus:ce Center 8  How Does Pay for Success Work? • An intermediary selects an evidence-based program • The program is supported with private capital solicited by the intermediary • The intermediary: – Oversees program implementa:on – Ensures model fidelity • Anindependentevaluatordeterminesiftheprogramhas met performance targets • Governmentpaystheintermediaryforsuccessfuloutcome 9  The Structure of Pay for Success Intermediary 10  Pay for Success: OpportuniDes in JusDce • Pre-Trial Processing – Pre-trial risk assessments can save money by diver:ng low risk offenders from jail – Upfront investment is needed to train officials on assessment tools • Reentry – The therapeu:c community programs can have beneficial effects on recidivism and substance abuse ü Start-up requires developing counseling, employment, and job training services 11  Pay for Success: OpportuniDes in the Adult JusDce System • Proba:on – Electronic monitoring can save money and reduce vic:miza:ons ü Implementa:on infrastructure (equipment, IT support, etc.) is costly • Adult Diversion programs – Drug courts and community supervision can preserve public safety while reducing costly secure confinement ü The training, addi:onal technical assistance, and staff required to effec:vely implement diversion programs has significant upfront costs 12  Pay for Success: OpportuniDes in Juvenile JusDce • Juvenile Jus:ce – Family-based interven:on and preven:on programs can prevent delinquent conduct and reduce recidivism ü Implemen:ng these programs requires start-up investment to train local staff • Adolescent Diversion – Adolescent diversion from secure confinement has been found to have a very large cost-benefit ra:o ü Training and project implementa:on impose significant upfront costs 13  Pay for Success: Advantages and Drawbacks Advantages Drawbacks • Government transfers risk • Local service networks are developed or scaled • Addresses the “wrong pockets” problem • Allows agencies to pool resources and knowledge • Significant flexibility to deploy programs across jurisdic:ons or regions • Requires significant exper:se from mul:ple fields • Complex to execute • Could limit non-profit innova:on by focusing on programs with a proven track record • May simply reallocate exis:ng impact and philanthropic capital rather than drawing new capital 14  Pay for Success: Strategic Planning • PFS relies on good strategic planning to maximize cost effec:veness • Before star:ng a program jurisdic:ons should: – Iden:fy popula:on and cost drivers – Iden:fy the problems that generate these drivers – Find evidence-based solu:ons to the problem – Determine if the evidence-based solu:on is PFS-compa:ble • Government should iden:fy a research partner to assist with this process • Jus:ce program databases can inform implementa:on: – OJP’s Crime Solu:ons – WISIPP – Vanderbilt University Peabody Research Ins:tute – Blueprints for Violence Preven:on – The Urban Ins:tute’s Meta CBA analyses for DCPI – Na:onal Reentry Resource Center’s What Works in Reentry Clearinghouse 15  Building PFS in 5 Steps • PFS projects should target jus:ce system “inefficiencies” – Example:prisonpopula:ondrivers • Once drivers are iden:fied, PFS is developed in 5 steps: Strategic Planning Price the Develop Evaluate the Product Infrastructure Program 12345 Make the Deal Deliver Service and TTA 16  Step 1: Price the Product • Use cost-benefit analysis (CBA) to determine: – Serviceinfrastructureandcapitalneeds – Performancetargets – Probabilityofprogramsuccess ü Return rates – Governmentsavings(recoverableandnon- recoverable) • Meta-CBA provides the best es:mates – Uncertainty deters investors, risk does not – Meta-CBAModels: ü Urban’s DCPI model ü The Washington State Ins:tute of Public Policy (WSIPP) model ü Pew’s Results First 17  Step 2: Make the Deal • Iden:fy investors, providers, and government partner • Determine if sufficient infrastructure exists to deliver the interven:on – Non-profits are open key jus:ce system service providers • Determine project management and incen:ve structure – Get all partners to sign onto contract 18  Step 3: Develop Infrastructure • Coordinate direct service – Develop service infrastructure (staff knowledge, IT, etc.) – May require building new infrastructure or enhancing exis:ng infrastructure • Determine technical assistance needs 19  Step 4: Deliver Service and TTA • Deliver TTA and service to the target popula:on • TTA helps providers sustain services past the life of the project • The intermediary ensures program model fidelity • The PFS contracts provide safeguards so that PFS does not interrupt service delivery 20  Step 5: Evaluate the Program • Evaluate the program and determine success – Determine if local organiza:ons can perform the evalua:on – Find ways to promote evalua:on transparency • For ini:al evalua:ons RCT is the best design – RCTs build knowledge about what works in criminal jus:ce – Evalua:on costs are primarily a func:on of data availability, not evalua:on design 21  Future of Pay for Success • PFS efficacy depends on maintaining a research emphasis • Broad adop:on of PFS will be a learning process – Governments, for-profits, and non-profits learn how to collaborate – PFS offers a new instrument for sharing resources and benefits 22  Social Impact Bond Resource Center • Urban Ins:tute created a roadmap of tools for helping governments implement pay for success projects.

Ques:ons & Answers Council of State Governments Jus:ce Center 24  Social Innova<on Fund Program Overview Jennifer Stoff, Social Innova:on Fund, Corpora:on for Na:onal and Community Service As part of the President’s vision for building a smarter, more effec:ve government, Pay for Success (PFS) has emerged as an approach for government to partner with the private sector to fund proven and promising prac:ces. PFS is an innova:ve contrac:ng and financing model that leverages philanthropic and private dollars to fund services up front, with the government paying aper they generate results. This strategy has gained strong bi-par:san support in Congress as a strategy for increasing return on taxpayer dollars while improving the quality of services provided in our communi:es. Council of State Governments Jus:ce Center 25  The Social InnovaDon Fund Pay for Success Program aims to: • Strengthen and diversify the pipeline of governments and nonprofit organiza:ons that are prepared to engage in PFS projects • Assess the poten:al of PFS to address a variety of social issues rela:ng to diverse popula:ons in diverse geographic contexts • Aeract capital to high-performing ins:tu:ons seeking to strengthen, grow, and sustain effec:ve solu:ons for challenges facing low-income communi:es Through two approaches: 1) Provide Technical Assistance to Assess Feasibility and Develop PFS Capacity 2) Structure PFS Transac:ons. These ac:vi:es will contribute to the infrastructure necessary to implement future PFS projects.
