Statement on H.R. 1336 the Social Impact Partnership Act

“Results for America (RFA) applauds U.S. Representatives Young and Delaney for the introduction of the Social Impact Partnership Act (H.R. 1336) We commend their continued leadership on using data, evidence, and evaluation to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of government. They are truly legislative entrepreneurs.

This bipartisan legislation, building on the similar bill introduced by Reps. Young and Delaney last Congress, would spur government to take a Moneyball approach to social services. Social Impact Bonds/Pay for Success initiatives leverage private investment, hard data, and rigorous evaluation to improve public programs for children and families. We hope the Social Impact Partnership Act will encourage greater innovation in this area and motivate government to shift to a results-oriented approach to serving our most vulnerable populations.”
