Now Available: Final Evaluation Report on the SIM Initiative in Minnesota

SHADAC’s final evaluation report on the SIM Initiative in Minnesota is now publicly available.

This report presents the final results of the state-level evaluation of Minnesota’s SIM initiative.

• Minnesota’s SIM investments both within and outside of state government
