The State of Oregon established it’s first Data Governance policy, which was officially been approved, shared, and in effect as of March 2022.
The policy sets forth a statewide approach to data governance and establishes a baseline framework and accountability structure for agencies to use in establishing internal data governance programs. The Data Governance Policy sets baseline expectations for State Agencies in managing data as a strategic asset.

The City of Boston's disability-aware standards for City resources and the collection of disability data from residents throughout government processes.
In 2017, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services began the TANF Data Innovation (TDI) project. Its goal was to expand TANF agencies use of TANF administrative and employment data to improve program services and outcomes for families with low incomes. This report focuses on the TANF Data Collaborative (TDC) component of the TDI. TDC provided technical assistance (TA) and learning opportunities to two groups: all TANF agencies serving families on or eligible for TANF, and a select few agencies chosen for the TDC Pilot Initiative.
This toolkit provides individuals and organizations with guidance, drawn from learning and experience, on how to use administrative and other data to inform program improvements. It collects concrete strategies and practitioner-tested tools designed to advance these efforts. These materials were developed in pilot projects with local Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) agencies as part of the TANF Data Collaborative (TDC).
