Adding It Up: A Rationale for Mapping Public Resources for Children, Youth and Families (PDF)
By Thaddeus Ferber, Margaret Flynn-Khan, Elizabeth Gaines, Karen Pittman
March 2006

Summary: This overview is a joint effort from the Forum for Youth Investment and the Finance Project designed to help decision makers and community leaders both learn the importance of a good children youth and families (CYF) budget and map out the process of creating or improving a CYF resource map of their own. The overview discusses what is involved in the process of creating a CYF resource map and both the benefits and the challenges of those efforts. Three challenges in developing quality CYF maps include: (1) underestimating the time, expertise, and energy the task requires; (2) providing the context, and (3) defusing the politics.
