What Changed?

How the F.L.O.R.I.D.A. Act Dashboard drove intervention on this program

  • Dashboard flagged this initiative as falling behind schedule three months before the statutory deadline, enabling proactive intervention.
  • An Executive Review was initiated, resulting in a corrective action plan with revised milestones and accountability checkpoints.
  • Budget allocation was placed under conditional release, tying subsequent disbursements to milestone completion.
  • Cross-agency data verification identified reporting discrepancies that were corrected, improving the accuracy of performance metrics.
