After a rigorous pilot operation period and assessment process, SSA OPDR staff and the evaluation team at Mathematica Policy Research (MPR) have selected the following three pilot projects for inclusion in the full YTD evaluation:

• The Broadened Horizons Brighter Futures Program operated by Abilities, Inc; Miami Dade County, FL (Abilities)
  
  
• The Career Transition Program operated by St. Luke’s House, Montgomery; County, MD (CTP)

The three new projects began full implementation in April 2008.
