Consider a CCI when:
- The community outcomes you want can't be achieved by a single organization or agency.
- Structural barriers stand in the way of reaching the outcomes you want--for example, laws, public policies, or organizational mandates.
- The resources needed to achieve the outcomes are too varied or extensive to come from just one agency or organization, and may even require contributions from the private sector.
- Rivalries and turf battles among agencies and organizations are getting in the way of service delivery to youth and families.
- Services for youth and families are developed without their participation.
- Funding is scarce, and you need to make every dollar count by getting stakeholders to work together efficiently.
- Research into the problem you want to address points to evidence-based practices that require the collaboration of professionals from many disciplines.
