How to Report for NPI 2.2

National Performance I.) Number of Program II.) Number of Community
Indicator 2.2 Initiatives or Advocacy Assets, Services or Facilities
Efforts Preserved or Increased
Community Quality of Life
and Assets
(#) (#)

For each of the subcategories of this community quality of life and assets indicator the following
data are required:

I. The number of projects and/or initiatives that were developed with significant
investments by the CAA to assure opportunities and community resources for low-
income individuals. (See below for discussion about “significance” of investment.)

II. The number of opportunities (as described above) and/or community resources which
were preserved or increased.

Columns I and II have a “one-to-many” relationship, i.e. each single project is recorded in
column I, and the many opportunities or resources are recorded in column II.

NOTE: The criterion for determining whether something is a result to be included under these
indicators is whether the facilities, services, policy changes, infrastructure, housing, jobs, etc.
were developed with significant investments by the CAA. “Significant” means the agency has
invested personnel, funding, or facilities at a significant, sustained level of participation relative
to the project size; in other words, any other partners in the initiative should have no hesitation in
identifying the CAA involvement as a major factor in the success.

NOTE: Initiatives or advocacy efforts reported in NPI 2.2 can also be reported in NPI 2.1 as
long as there is long as there is documentation at the CAA level that an initiative or advocacy
effort resulted in community improvement and revitalization.

NPI 2.2 Examples

A. Increases in community assets as a result of a change in law, regulation or policy, which
results in improvements in quality of life and assets

o Agency advocacy with local government results in a county or city ordinance requiring
local builders to dedicate 10% of all new construction of rental units to moderate or low-
income renters.
(Report as 1 initiative and a reasonable estimate of the number of new affordable units that
were added to the community’s housing stock during the reporting period.)
