Development Roadmap

From prototype to long-standing intervention.

Transitions to Moments that Matter is currently in its prototype and refinement phase. The product itself is designed for long-term dissemination through CHYP and partner organizations.

What This Work Draws On

TMM's development is grounded in lived experience, partnership, and ongoing evaluation infrastructure.

  • TGNC lived experience and stakeholder knowledge informing the development and review of TMM.
  • Community Design Team and continued stakeholder participation.
  • Partnership with the California Homeless Youth Project (CHYP).
  • Research on stigma, youth homelessness prevention, belonging, family and institutional experiences, and access to support.
  • Documentary production resources and the TMM digital platform.
  • DYUR, Q-Nife LGBTQ+ Family Resources, episode companion guides, and the Digital Archive.
  • Website analytics, screening feedback, survey data, and the internal administrative dashboard used to support evaluation and continued development.
