Performance Management and Accountability

Overview

The New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) is committed to transparency and accountability. To that end, we are making data related to our programs available on our agency's Web site. This includes performance data, allocations to providers, award amounts, contract periods, program sites, locations served and spending information.

The information provided goes beyond what is required under language enacted in the State Fiscal Year 2007-2008 Budget, via Chapter 57 of the Laws of 2007, which mandates that state agencies, including OTDA, publish data related to a number of TANF programs appropriated in SFY 2007-2008 and thereafter on the Internet. Chapter 57 also applies to one OTDA General Fund Program - Strengthening Families, which was created in 2006.

What you see on this Web site is OTDA's first step towards increasing transparency. As this project rolls out, we plan to improve the functionality of the Performance and Accountability Web site in an effort to better inform the public, strengthen the network of services provided to those we serve and provide an increased level of accountability to the taxpayers of New York State.

Since the programs identified in the Table of Contents have assorted start dates, not all programs are populated at present. Further, the performance and expenditure data will be periodically updated to reflect program accomplishments.

Viewing Program Information

As program information becomes available, the following titles will display as active links. To view and print the performance management and accountability documents, you must download Acrobat Reader.

The Performance Management and Accountability data is organized by State Fiscal Year (SFY). To obtain program specific information, please select from the active (underlined) program links within each SFY Table of Contents. Each link will bring you to the program's overview, performance matrix, and, where appropriations were awarded to local districts via allocations, a chart summarizing the allocations by district.

The Performance and Accountability Matrix document contains two sections: the first section is a summary of program information; the second provides program information by contractor or district. You will need to scroll down to the end of the summary, to view the second section.
