Coalition Structure and Processes Recording

The DFC & CARA National Evaluation Team is rolling out a series of mini-Progress Report Training Recordings designed to help DFC coalitions get a head start on accurately reporting progress in each section of the August 2025 Progress Report. While we plan to hold a large, interactive training as we get closer to the August submission window, we hope these mini recordings will be a valuable resource as you prepare early. We encourage you to create your Progress Report, go to each section, and add early notes based on what you have learned. You can also take notes in our Progress Report template.

The next installment is available in the DFC & CARA Me Learning Center now! The DFC & CARA National Evaluation Team has created a 12-minute "Progress Report Walkthrough: Coalition Structure and Processes" resource. It can be found in the Learning Center by selecting the "Step-by-Step Tutorials" quick filter or searching for it using the search bar.

As a reminder, the first five recordings are also in the Learning Center for your convenience. We encourage you to watch these recordings as many times as you would like!

The National Evaluation Team has developed resources to help you with the Coalition Structure and Processes section of the Progress Report. Check them out!

Learning Center Updates

The DFC & CARA National Evaluation Team is excited to announce a new update to the DFC & CARA Me Learning Center! There are now quick links to key resources for easier access without searching. These resources include the DFC and CARA Progress Report Templates, the DFC handbook, and more! Once you click on the icon, the resource will download to your computer. These six quick links are marked with icons and located on the left-hand side of the Learning Center.

Sincerely,

DFC & CARA National Evaluation Team
