Abstract	The Annie E. Casey Foundation launched Family-Centered Community Change (FCCC) in 2012 to support three local partnerships seeking to help parents and children in high-poverty neighborhoods succeed together. These partnerships, located in Buffalo, New York; Columbus, Ohio; and San Antonio, Texas, are each developing a more integrated set of services, including housing assistance, high-quality education, and job training. Since 2013, the Urban Institute has been evaluating each initiative's design, implementation, and outcomes for families. The theory behind the demonstration is that "two-generation approaches," or coordinating high-quality programs and services for children and parents, can help break intergenerational poverty and move families with low incomes toward greater economic independence. This paper is one of a series of reports based on what we have learned from five years of observations from our research. The three FCCC initiatives provide services including early childhood education and child care, partnerships with local elementary schools, after-school care, employment and training for adults, financial education, and coaching to help parents set goals and stay on target. All three initiatives operate within communities where families move frequently and have widely varying needs and within neighborhoods with long histories of racial segregation and systemic racism, changing job markets, demographic changes, and gentrification. Many factors, including partnership strength, scope of effort, organizational capacity, and changes in funder priorities, affect the success or failure of a community change initiative (CCI). These initiatives are particularly challenging because they do not exist in a vacuum--broader forces affect the community. This report describes important changes across six key domains: (1) housing; (2) local economic trends; (3) transportation; (4) school systems; (5) early childhood education and child care; and (6) the federal policy context. For each, the authors discuss major systemic changes, how they have played out in the FCCC communities, and their implications for the initiatives' success. (ERIC).
