The CHANGE Framework is a curated set of statewide data that:

  • Identifies the gaps where help in our community is needed, opportunities where help will do the most good, and areas where sustainable data needs to be gathered;
  • Helps all of us understand the interconnected nature of the six sectors of our community's well-being and how they affect one another;
  • Allows all of us to examine the root causes and create effective solutions to solve Hawaii's greatest challenges together; and
  • Provides all of us the foundation to create shared goals and consistently and reliably track the progress of our collective efforts over time.
