MATCH Family Success Infrastructure | Executive Overview
Executive overviewFrom fragmented services to family-defined, measurable mobility.
MATCH Family Success Infrastructure is a developing, replicable coordination model designed to help communities organize systems, relationships, and opportunity pathways around one family journey.
The honest truth
Families do not experience life in silos. Systems often do.
Housing, education, health, behavioral health, employment, courts, and child welfare may each carry a portion of a family’s story. Too often, the family must carry the connections between them.
The Navigation Gap
Multiple plans, disconnected referrals, repeated stories, unclear ownership, and too little recovery when a connection fails.
The MATCH response
One family-defined plan, trusted navigation, accountable partners, mobility pathways, and visible learning.
The practical aim
Help communities turn what they already have into a more coherent family journey, rather than adding another isolated program.
How the MATCH model worksM A T C H
Five disciplines. One connected operating system.
Align
Put people, organizations, resources, and accountability around one shared journey and a clear destination.
Technology
Strengthen visibility, coordination, personalization, and learning without replacing trusted human relationships.
Coach
Activate Navigators, mentors, families, leaders, and trusted adults to turn plans into movement.
Harvest
Measure movement, learn from implementation, improve the system, and scale only what evidence can support.
The proposed two-county strategyFounding demonstration context Selection in progress
Test the core in two different places before claiming a scalable solution.
Franklin County
Proposed founding urban demonstration context, designed to establish the core operating standard, local partnerships, learning methods, and implementation evidence.
Second county
Intended rural or smaller-county replication environment, selected through readiness criteria to test the model across a different service and access landscape.
This overview does not state that implementation agreements are executed, that a statewide system is complete, or that results are already verified.
What the county unit includes
Readiness
Local mapping, family and community context, partner capacity, and navigation friction assessment.
System design
Design Labs, governance, shared workflows, consent boundaries, and accountability.
Family navigation
Trained relationship partners, Family Success Plans, warm handoffs, and follow-through.
Partner capacity
Community, faith, mentor, school, provider, and employer readiness and support.
Mobility pathways
Stability, education, credentials, work, housing, financial capability, and relationships.
Evaluation
Family experience, implementation learning, outcome movement, and replication evidence.
What MATCH will measure
Outcomes that hold the whole journey in view.
Public reporting will focus on family stability, youth stability, economic mobility, system efficiency, and public value. Measures, baselines, and results will be published only as the evaluation framework and local approvals mature.
What MATCH will protect
Privacy, choice, and the difference between a public model and a case-management system.
The public website does not collect case records, deliver clinical care, make statutory decisions, or show protected family information. Those boundaries are part of the infrastructure.
The invitation
Explore what Family Success Infrastructure could look like in your community.
MATCH invites communities, families, public systems, community organizations, funders, workforce partners, and researchers to design, test, and strengthen a different way forward.
