In this brief, we detail how programs develop and implement their criteria and processes for selecting families for enrollment. Selection refers to the procedures a program follows to assess their community’s needs, update their selection criteria, and use those criteria to assign points to submitted applications. We highlight how programs use their selection processes to identify and select families with the greatest need. We also summarize approaches that programs perceive as successful and those that reflect opportunities for growth. The Methods section at the end of this brief details the sampling, data collection, and analysis methods. (author abstract)
