Upon passage of House Bill 166, the Ohio Treasurer’s office developed a streamlined, uniform review process to score ResultsOHIO applications. Following scoring, projects are deemed as being “Pay-for-Success Appropriate and Ready;” “Pay-for-Success Appropriate, but Not Ready;” “Not Pay-for-Success Appropriate;” or “Ineligible.” ResultsOHIO is a program within the Treasurer’s office that enables policymakers and innovators to pursue pay-for-success projects aimed at tackling the most pressing social and public health challenges facing Ohio. The program’s infrastructure assesses prospective pay-for-success projects and shepherds their eventual launch and implementation. ResultsOHIO protects taxpayer dollars by focusing on bold, new results-based ideas. Public dollars will be used to reimburse project costs if it is proven to deliver real results at its conclusion. More information on ResultsOHIO and the first round of feasibility reports can be found at www.results.ohio.gov.
