Future Planning and Design Implementation
Select any timeline phase to explore the milestone details.
Completed Pilot Design and Aspire Adaptation
Bridge to 100 completes the design architecture for pilot delivery, aligns service pathways with Aspire adaptation, and publishes the executive summary used to orient partners.
Primary outcome: The network enters scale-up with a validated model, clear language, and shared implementation standards.
- Finalize pilot framework and operational logic.
- Adapt Aspire processes to community context.
- Document core recommendations and early learnings.
Funding, Planning, and Scope Definition
The team develops a sustainability runway by advancing funder conversations, clarifying scope boundaries, and sequencing a realistic execution plan for the next development cycle.
Primary outcome: Partners gain an actionable funding and scope blueprint that supports continuity and responsible growth.
- Pursue multi-source funding pathways.
- Draft and align a new statement of work.
- Identify Aspire Assessment hub implementation path.
Design Implementation for Three Pilots
Program design transitions into live implementation across three pilot communities with coordinated testing loops, coaching, and operational support to stabilize delivery quality.
Primary outcome: Pilot sites demonstrate model viability while generating evidence for statewide replication decisions.
- Launch pilot implementation with clear milestones.
- Use rapid testing cycles to improve fidelity.
- Collect practice and outcomes data for scale design.
Ongoing Testing and Scaling
Delivery teams run continuous improvement cycles, integrating frontline feedback, operational metrics, and community outcomes to strengthen consistency before broader expansion.
Primary outcome: The program matures into a repeatable model with improved reliability and stronger readiness for affiliate growth.
- Refine service quality with ongoing test-and-learn loops.
- Adjust implementation guidance from field evidence.
- Standardize high-impact practices for replication.
Expand Pilots and Scale to Affiliates
With lessons consolidated, Bridge to 100 adds pilots and supports affiliate onboarding through phased adoption, coaching, and governance practices that preserve mission alignment.
Primary outcome: Incremental affiliate expansion builds durable statewide access to faith-based recovery pathways.
- Launch additional pilots with readiness screening.
- Onboard affiliates through phased support tracks.
- Scale responsibly while protecting program quality.
