    The Self-Sufficiency Matrix measures 6 domains of self-sufficiency on a scale of 1 to 5. The domains include shelter/housing, employment, income, food and nutrition, children's education, and adult education. A score of 1 indicates a lack of self-sufficiency in that domain, while 5 indicates full self-sufficiency without need for assistance. The matrix is used to assess clients' needs and progress toward meeting basic life necessities without outside support.
