Local funding may be used for expenses such as operational (staff salaries, program expenses, utilities, or insurance) or local match for a state or federal grant. For FY11, $415,950 was allocated to sixteen agencies or programs with the amounts ranging from $5,000 - $60,000 with payments being distributed either on a quarterly or semi-annual basis. Also, there was $9,318 placed in the contingency fund (available to assist with unexpected expenses). The total for FY11 is $425,268. Each quarter, MPOJC issues a summary report based on information submitted by the agencies. This quarter we requested the agencies identify agency services/programs that local funding sources support; goals and objectives; and successes and challenges. Also, agency board minutes and financial reports are submitted and reviewed by the Human Services Coordinator. Attached you will find the second quarter report. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at 356-5252 or linda-severson~iowa-city.org Jccog hs/memos/FY11 counci Imemo2 ndQ.doc Agency: United Action for Youth Funding FY11: Iowa City- $60,000 Coralville- $3,500 Number of People Served FY11 15` and 2"d Quarter: Iowa City-1018 Coralville-160 Summarize the specific activities and events that have occurred during the first 6 months of the year that are supported by local funding. • Summer Art Workshops • Kids First Divorce Workshop Teen Parent Program • Band Shows • Camp Create Art Show: Flight Skool • Rhinestone Cowgirls • Image Alive Improv Group • Solon Afterschool Artist in Training Workshops • GLBTQ&A Support Group Describe the impact of specific activities and events on those served and the community. The GLBTQ&A group provides weekly support for youth who often fedl isolated, maybe victims of bullying, and are nationally at twice the risk for suicide. The group discusses topics that are determined by the participants themselves and include issues such as binge drinking, smoking, illegal substance use, depression, suicide, positive self- image, body image, personal responsibility, fitting into a peer group and community involvement. Successes -Share positive information and stories about how your services have impacted the people you serve. At the end of the first quarter, members of Flight Skool began discussions about how to increase the quality of their performance and professionalism in the community. As a result of these discussions, the group decided to hold their first official audition during the next quarter. Flight Skool will use this audition as a way to recruit new members as well as to introduce their group to the community under the title, Flight Skool Hip-Hop Dance Leadership Group. Challenges - Identify barriers that impacted delivery of services, andlor unmet community needs. As this school year began, there has been greater demand for UAY staffing for after-school programs, especially at elementary schools. It has been a challenge to take advantage of these opportunities, to staff so many varied locations during the same 3:30 - 5pm time, Our management and Youth Center teams spent a lot of time juggling coverage to insure that we were providing two experienced staff, that were familiar with UAY vision & philosophy for Roosevelt Art Club, twice weekly Coralville Central Art Club, Grant Wood Art Club, Grant Wood Wildcats, Solon Drop-in Center, Coralville Rec After-school Jam, North Central Junior High Art Club, Southeast After-school program, the Youth Emergency Shelter Art Club and maintaining quality programming at the Youth Center. We feel very good about the staffing we've been able to provide, utilizing current Americorps, former Americorps, former staff, longtime staff and long-term volunteers Jccoghs/aidtoagencies fy11/uay2ndgtr.doc Agency: Iowa City Free Medical Clinic Funding FY11: Iowa City- $7,500 Coralville- $2,000 Number of People Served FY11 2"d and 4"' Quarter: Iowa City-918 Coralville-209 Summarize the specific activities and events that have occurred during the first 6 months of the year that are supported by local funding 491 Patients (30% of all patients July-Dec) seen for one or more chronic health problem. Diabetes, hypertension, lipids, thyroid, and asthma. This accounted for 1216 visits (duplicated county). Describe the impact of specific activities and events on those served and the community Last month our Medical Director and Case Manager were able to help a patient establish her care at the University Hospital to be treated for her metastatic breast cancer. She had not seen a physician in a very long time. She had not had any of the standard screening exams in over 10 years because she did not have insurance coverage and felt she could not afford these tests. Our staff helped her to enroll in a federally funded program which provides no cost screening exams to un or under insured women. Unfortunately this patient was diagnosed with a late stage cancer following these tests. Our staff helped her to enroll in a program to cover her treatment and to establish care with an Oncologist. She is of course upset by her diagnosis but feeling well and pleased to be addressing her illness. Share outcome measure from evaluation tools used to measure the effectiveness of programs supported with local funding 107 flu shots 36 eye exams 11 pneumovax shots 28 mammogram referrals 96 PPD administered Successes -Share positive information and stories about how your services have impacted the people you serve. Last month our Medical Director was pleasantly surprised when along-term patient came to his appointment weighing over 75 pounds less than he did one year ago. This patient has long struggled to manage his diabetes, hypertension, and depression. After over 2 years of supportive care from our clinic, medications and education were provided, he was able to make some significant life-style changes. He has been able to stop taking almost all his medications, is eating healthier and is exercising every day. He told staff that he finally realized that medicines alone would not cure him and was able to, with our support, begin to take responsibility for his own health. He looks and feels great! Challenges - Identify barriers that impacted delivery of services, andlor unmet community needs The growing number of uninsured people with chronic health problems such as type 2 diabetes will overwhelm FMC if community measures for a healthier lifestyle and increased resources for FMC are not met. Jccoghs/aidtoagencies FYt 1/freemed2ndgtr.doc Agency: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Johnson County Funding FY11: Iowa City-$32,000 Coralville-$4,760 Number of People Served FY11 1St and 2"d Quarter: Iowa City- 411 Coralville-62 Summarize the specific activities and events that have occurred during the first 6 months of the year that are supported by local funding. • Local funding supports our Community Based mentoring program in Johnson County. This includes all volunteer inquiries, volunteer and family interviews, matching of volunteers and kids, and the match supervision • The annual All Program Picnic was held on September 21. We had over 100 volunteers, clients, families, board members and staff present to eat donated food by Pancheros and New Pioneer Coop. We also played games outside. Describe the impact of specific activities and events on those served and the community. The on-going time volunteers spend with kids continues to show great results. The stories we hear from the volunteers, kids, and families on child development are proof. We have integrated a Strength of Relationship survey into every match at their 3, 6, and 12 month match anniversary. These surveys allow our Match Support Specialist to take a close look on how the match is progressing and if any issues need addressed. They have become a useful tool in match evaluation. We hope to have some comprehensive results to share in a future report. As of now, the date is on a match by match basis. Share outcome measure from evaluation tools used to measure the effectiveness of programs supported with local funding • Over half of the youth mentored through BBBS show improvement in their school performance-even without a specific emphasis on academics BBBS youth are more likely to avoid illegal activities and substance abuse Eighty-four percent of former "tittles" say that their Big taught them the importance of helping others Successes -Share positive information and stories about how your services have impacted the people you serve: Seth and Jeni Leckliter of North Liberty met Little Brother Anthony when they were a newly married couple. A year into their mentoring relationship, they added a fourth member to their crew: baby Mya, now a happy and active toddler. Despite their busy schedule, the Leckliters and Anthony find time to hike, bake, and play sports. "For us," explains Jeni, "it has been a great way to do more fun things that maybe we wouldn't otherwise make time for." Challenges -Identify barriers that impacted delivery of services, and/or unmet community needs: The time boys spend on our waiting list is still too long. We have seen the amount of time on the waiting list decrease in the past year for boys and we hope this trend will continue. The need for our service from all areas of the community continues to be high and we hope to keep up with this demand for our staff time and resources. Jccoghs/aidtoagencies FY111bbbs2ndgtr.doc Agency: Mayors Youth Empowerment Program (MYEP) Funding FY11: Iowa City-$10,000 Coralville- $3,000 Number of People Server FY11 15` and 2"d Quarter: Iowa City-170 Coralville-60 Summarize the specific activities and events that have occurred during the first 6 months of the year that are supported by local funding. The following activities and events occurred during the first 6 months of the year: Started elementary schools students mentoring programming two nights a week at the Grant Wood Gym. FasTrac Program has partnered with Beadology to assist students in learning how to make beads. • FasTrac Program has partnered with the University of Iowa, and the U of I now sponsors a speaker series event once a month for students in the program with various professionals from the University in various fields of study. • Menards Store in Iowa City hired five students in the program. Employed five students in the Fast Snack Van, funded in part by Goodwill of the Heartland. Describe the impact of specific activities and events on those served and the community. • During the Toast master programming, students were assisted with their public speaking and essay writing skills. • The book club has given students an extra level of confidence in their reading skills. • The mentoring night gives students in high school the opportunity to mentor those in elementary schools and to be a role model for the younger kids, this in turn has been a win-win scenario as we see older students changing their behaviors to be better role models in the community. Successes- Share positive information and stories about how your services have impacted the people you serve. 80% of students in FasTrac Program improved their attendance at the end of the 1St trimester. • 77% of students in FasTrac Program are involved in extracurricular activities. • 80% of Students in FasTrac Program improved their grades at the end of the 1St trimester. Challenges- Identify barriers that impacted delivery of services, and/or unmet community needs. The lack of funding to support all the activities remains the biggest challenge. Other challenges include the lack of consistency with volunteers' time availabilities, Businesses understanding and opening their doors to employ youth, and parents' involvement. Jccoghs/aidtoagencies FYII/MYEP2ndgtr.doc Agency: Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County Funding FY11: Iowa City-$60,000 Coralville- $1,500 Number of People Served FY11 151 and 2"d Quarter: Iowa City- 1,386 Coralville-72 Summarize the specific activities and events that have occurred during the first 6 months of the year that are supported by local funding. During the past 6 months, Neighborhood Centers have successfully completed summer programming and transitioned to school-year programming. A variety of programs for the young child, school-age child, and adult are supported by local funding. Additionally, we facilitated numerous community building activities during this reporting period including summer lunch programs, weekly `parking lot' cook-outs (until the Iowa weather reminded us to stay indoors!), National Neighborhood Night Out events, and facilitated a pilot program to develop Block Captains. Describe the impact of specific activities and events on those served and the community. Although we traditionally measure impact as we review year to date outcomes, several activities this reporting period have shown tremendous results for children, youth, and families. In the past 6 months we have successfully transitioned children to kindergarten and have welcomed countless newcomers to Iowa City with information, education, and programming. Our neighborhoods are often the first-stop for many newcomers in Iowa City. As families move here from other parts of the world, other parts of the US, our Center staff welcome families with 'Welcome Packets,' help families obtain basic needs like furniture, schooling, housing, and food, and overall strengthen the transition process. We now offer employment counseling, home based parenting, welcome events, and a variety of 'get-to-know-your-neighbor' opportunities so that our newcomers become full members of the Iowa City community. Successes -Share positive information and stories about how your services have impacted the people you serve. Our Parent Partner program is flourishing with 6 active Parent Partners all working with birth parents. Parent Partners are mentors to parents currently involved in the foster care system. All Parent Partners have experienced a foster care placement sometime in their past and can give the current parents a `been there, done that' type of mentoring. Parent Partners is part of a larger effort designed to reduce out-of-home- placement time for African American children and youth. Challenges - Identify barriers that impacted delivery of services, and/or unmet community needs. We are facing some economic challenges in child care again this year in classrooms without grant funding. It is a combination of Child Care Assistance funding issues (waiting for up to 90 days for contracts, not receiving full time unit amounts) and the fact that many adults are unable to find jobs and are then returning to school, which does not pay for full- time care. In the upcoming quarter, we will be merging some classrooms and offering more part-time options. Jccoghs/aidtoagencies FYI IlNCJC2ndgtr.doc Agency: Crisis Center Funding FY11: Iowa City-$38,500 Coralville-$7,000 Number of People Served FY11 1St and 2"d Quarter: Iowa City -8,122 Coralville-1,492 Summarize the specific activities and events that have occurred during the first 6 months of the year that are supported by local funding. The Crisis Intervention program provides crisis intervention and information and referral. The Information and Referral database on the new Crisis Center website was implemented. The Crisis Center became eligible to provide services through Lifeline (24 hour national suicide toll free services, and staff have been preparing for the implementation of the program (January 2011. In 2009, more than 5,000 Iowans called the toll free suicide line and more than 200 of these were Johnson County residents. The Crisis Center will become the second crisis line in Iowa to provide these services, joining Foundation2 in Cedar Rapids. The Food bank added 677 households in the last since July 1, 2010 and distributed nearly 17,000 bags of food to Johnson County residents during that time. The Food Bank is preparing to switch to Client Choice food distribution system, which nationally has shown to reduce food waste to clients by nearly 50%. 3. The Emergency Assistance Program, securing a $20,000 grant from an anonymous donor provided emergency assistance to 433 households in the last six months of the year. Successes -Share positive information and stories about how your services have impacted the people you serve • An individual contacted us following death of stepson by suicide. The individual was also suicidal and was able to talk to the counselor and seek therapy. • A client who receives food from the Food Bank told us that she could not made it through recent unemployment without the assistance of the Food Bank. A couple with four children, whose sole provider has to take unpaid medical leave, would have had their water shut off without the assistance from the EA program. Challenges - Identify barriers that impacted delivery of services, and/or unmet community needs • Although we have increased the funding for Emergency Assistance Program, we continue to turn away more people than we can assist because we do not have enough funds available and we do not have the personnel to provide the assistance. • We continue to struggle with our interior design of our building and the parking lots. Our interior space, though designed to use in a variety of ways -lacks the ability to provide confidential services to clients. Additionally, as the Crisis Center expands to add services, we are having difficulty finding adequate work space for the interns we need to help in our programs. Our parking lot was designed poorly, and. clients, staff and volunteers continue to have damage to vehicles almost weekly. Jccoghs/aidtoagencies FY11/crisis cente2ndgtr.doc Agency: American Red Cross Grant Wood Area Chapter Funding FY11: Iowa City- $6,000 Coralville- $1,500 Number of People Served FY11 1St and 2"d Quarter: Iowa City-1,225 Coralville-630 Summarize the specific activities and events that have occurred during the first 6 months of the year that are supported by local funding. In the first six months of FY11 in Johnson County, the American Red Cross provided disaster relief assistance to 32 clients and ensured their immediate needs were met by providing food, clothing, shelter and medications which enabled them to begin their recovery process. Through the agency's Battery Up program, we continued to increase community awareness of fire prevention by collaborating with local fire departments and jointly visited 87 households of low- income, elderly and/or disabled residents and installed or changed their smoke detectors/batteries. The agency also sent 31 emergency communications to a military member about a death or illness in their family. Messages ranged from a death in the family where an emergency leave was needed to a congratulatory message on a new birth in the family. By providing this service the agency helps to reduce the level of stress a family encounters during an emergency and helps with the reunification process should circumstances warrant it. In addition, being prepared for emergencies is crucial at home, school, work and in one's community. Through the agency's free Community Disaster Education presentations we were able to reach over 1,000 individuals and trained them how to prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies. Topics ranged from floods, tornadoes and winter weather. Describe the impact of specific activities and events on those served and the community. Families are already stressed due to scarce resources and are very vulnerable during a disaster. Assisting them with their immediate, disaster-caused needs helps reduce that stress and enables them to return to normal pre-disaster condition sooner. The services provided also reduce immediate homelessness and hunger through provision of emergency shelter and access to food supports. These services are provided around the clock through trained American Red Cross volunteers. Successes -Share positive information and stories about how your services have impacted the people you serve. During the second quarter, the agency assisted 87 households with changing the batteries and/or installing new smoke detectors. In Johnson County, the agency partnered with the local fire departments and installed 387 new batteries and one smoke detector in October 2010. Also, the number of household visited has increased over the past several years. For example, in Iowa City the households that we visited increased by 15 households since 2009. Challenges - Identify barriers that impacted delivery of services, and/or unmet community needs. The agency's health and safety program is still seeing a decrease in the number of community members and businesses taking advantage of lifesaving courses. Due to the continued negative economic climate, many businesses and organizations have reduced their CPR and first aid training programs as a cost savings measure which ultimately decreased the number of individuals trained and prepared to respond to a health emergency. Jccoghs/aidtoagencies FY111redcross2ndgtr.doc Agency: Domestic Violence Intervention Program (DVIP) Funding FY11: Iowa City-$52,000 Coralville-$4,000 Number of People Served FY11 15t and 2"d Quarter: Iowa City- 360 Coralville- 71 Summarize the specific activities and events that have occurred during the first 6 months of the year that are supported by local funding. Local funding continues to support crisis services like our 24 hour hotline and 24 hour safe shelter. We receive approximately 1200 calls per month on our crisis line and shelter 35-45 women and children nightly in our shelter. We continue seeing increased needs as the economy takes its toll. Staff have identified that it is taking longer for victims to get their basic needs met as resources in the community continue to diminish. Describe the impact of specific activities and events on those served and the community. We developed additional structure to our group services, including clinics on housing, finances and legal issues. The clinics (also described by clients as discussion groups) are designed to share information common to many of our clients. For example, by having housing clinics two to three times a week, we can work with small groups of women that need the same information, but had previously met with staff individually. Our goal is to structurally support more people in a group setting, but more importantly create an environment to empower clients to work with each other on accomplishing their goals. Successes -Share positive information and stories about how your services have impacted the people you serve. During the past quarter, the Domestic Assault Response Team (DART) team has been able to help keep seven families in housing when evictions due to domestic violence were imminent. Three of the families felt safe enough to stay in their current locations, while four relocated to other housing complexes. The DART team went to the landlords or managers of each housing complex and helped negotiate the retention of the apartments/condos for those wishing to stay in their current housing. For those wishing to relocate, the DART team brokered releases from current contracts without penalty and relocated two of the families to other housing owned by the same company or to housing owned by someone else. Four of the families involved had children. This took many hours and a lot of energy due to the fact that in relocating, there usually is a change in utility connections, transportation, school/childcare locations, rental deposits and first month's rent, as well as the process of how to move belongings and who can help. Not only did this team work with landlords and complex managers, but other businesses and helping organizations to pull all of it together. Challenges -Identify barriers that impacted delivery of services, and/or unmet community needs. The restructuring of our staff and services have been the most challenging issues for the past six months. DVIP has been successfully weathering the current struggling economy and had managed to avoid laying off staff or cutting wages. Unfortunately, much of this was due to the support of the University of Iowa's Work-Study program and the Americorp program. The impact of the staffing changes has meant that victims are struggling to get the full range of services DVIP has offered. Some of the support we provide has diminished, mostly in the length of time victims have access to either staff or resources. It seems we are constantly responding to/in crisis, rather than responding out of the depth of support needed by the victim/survivor. Staff and volunteers are frustrated by the impact of this loss of "time" with victim/survivors. jccoghs/aidloagencies FY11/dvip2ndgtr.doc Agency: Rape Victim Advocacy Program (RVAP) FY11 Funding: Iowa City- $12,000 Coralville- $3,000 Number of People Served FY11 15f and 2"d Quarter: Iowa City- 125 Coralville- 21 Summarize the specific activities and events that have occurred during the first 6 months of the year that are supported by local funding. Currently we use local funds to partially fund our Fiscal Manager and to support operational expenses (annual audit, building maintenance, office supplies, printing, publishing, phone and volunteer program expenses). Local funds are directly responsible for a.) keeping the agency fiscally sound, including grant writing to secure federal and state support; b.) supporting the recruitment, training and retention of volunteers; c.) providing direct services to sexual assault victims and d.) supporting essential administrative costs. Describe the impact of specific activities and events on those served and the community. We provided crisis intervention and counseling services to 165 local residents in the past six months. We accompanied victims to the hospital for medical exams, to the police to report sexual assaults and through the trial process. Victim/survivors report that our services helped in being able to access these services and in their healing process. RVAP serves as a member of the Johnson County Sexual Assault Response Team, collaborating with area law enforcement and hospital personnel to assure victims receive services and offenders are held accountable. Share outcome measure from evaluation tools used to measure the effectiveness of programs supported with local funding. One evaluation was received from a survivor following a forensic medical exam. She indicated that she "strongly agreed" that the RVAP advocate was supportive and attended to her emotional and physical needs. The survivor also strongly agreed that she was provided accurate information. The evaluation also stated that the nurse "was very helpful during the worst part of the exam. She told me a story and made me laugh. She made a horrible experience bearable. Successes- Share positive information and stories about how your services have impacted the people you serve. During July and August, Karen provided counseling to a woman with cognitive disabilities who was sexually abused more than 20 years ago and was experiencing trauma related symptoms. The staff at her group living residence contacted RVAP for services in consultation with her mother/guardian. Together Karen and the clients were able to discuss feelings and triggers and develop a plan for her to communicate when she began to feel scared or anxious. Court advocacy was provided for a victim who had been sexually assaulted by someone she knew and with whom she had previously had a sexual relationship. RVAP staff provided medical advocacy as well as advocacy for trial preparations and during the testimony of the victim/survivor. This trial ended with a guilty verdict and the victim communicated that she feels safe now that she knows he will not be out of prison for a very long time. Jccoghslaidtoagencies FY111rvap2ndgtr.doc Agency: Elder Services Funding FY11: Iowa City-$54,000 Coralville-$2,000 Number of People Served FY11 15` and 2"d Quarter: Iowa City-651 Coralville-127 Summarize the specific activities and events that have occurred during the first 6 months of the year that are supported by local funding. Consolidation of offices: We relocated our RSVP program, our Meals on Wheels volunteer coordinator, and our Nutrition Program management offices from the Senior Center to our main offices. Site relocation: The Senior Dining site in Coralville moved in July to the Coralville Rec Center due to renovation at the previous site. Describe the impact of specific activities and events on those served and the community. Economic Recession Continues: This event is not supported by local funding but local funding is affected by it. Requests for service in all areas continue to increase with the greatest increases in numbers in Meals on Wheels and Senior Dining -new clients up 25%. Greatest percentage increase in Elder Abuse referrals accepted- 28% increase, Elder Abuse statistics parallel domestic violence statistics which worsen in a bad economy. CHORE In-home assistance - 33% increase, primarily in subsidized chore service which assists on a sliding fee scale basis those who are no longer physically able to perform in-home chores but have no family to assist nor resources to pay for assistance. Consolidation of offices: We continued to cut expenses to maximize revenue. This move has also resulted in better communication and greater collaboration among departments, and more synergy among constituencies. Site relocation: Coralville Rec Center staff have embraced the site and are offering programming thereby increasing the socialization experience for attendees. Share outcome measure from evaluation tools used to measure the effectiveness of programs supported with local funding In Elderly Waiver Case Management we are currently averaging fifteen months of home and community-based services before institutionalization, death, or "other." This number is calculated on the number of months each client is in the program from entrance to discharge. This is the standard established by the Iowa Department on Aging Annually, our Nutrition Program clients are surveyed for both customer service satisfaction and outcome measures related to their nutritional status. Of respondents, 67% felt their overall nutrition had improved since receiving Meals on Wheels; 75% felt the meals were more nutritious than what they had been able to prepare for themselves; 81 % feel that receiving Meals on Wheels has helped them remain independent in their own home. Jccoghs/aidtoagencies FY11/elderservices 2ndgtr.doc Agency: Shelter House Funding FY11: Iowa City-$36,500 Coralville-$4,000 Number of people served FY11 15` and 2"d Quarter: Iowa City- 172 Coralville- 38 Summarize the specific activities and events that have occurred during the first 6 months of the year that are supported by local funding: Resident Services-Shelter House provides both emergency and short-term transitional housing to men, women, and children the disabled and elderly. During the reporting period, the agency provided shelter and supportive services to 301 individuals (unduplicated count and an increase of 26% over this same time last year) for a total of 6,511 nights stayed (an increase of 20% over this same time last year). All shelter residents are provided a bed, breakfast and dinner, shower and laundry facilities, mailing address, phone and message service. The shelter is staffed 24 hours a day seven days a week to allow for regular business activities and on-going case management work with Shelter House residents. Other activities supported by local funding; Drop-in center, STAR Program, Skills Workshops and Outreach Calendar. Describe the impact of specific activities and events on those served and the community. By providing hope and opportunity, Shelter House positively impacts the community in many ways. Through its overnight services, Shelter House provides a safe alternative to living on the streets. And because Shelter House has personal expectations, it gives clients motivation and reinforcement for positive behaviors. With shelter and a warm meal assured, clients can begin using Shelter House programs to get back on their feet. Through the STAR Program, clients receive case management and vocational support for transition periods of up to two years. In these ways and more, clients can develop their own personal resources and work toward increased economic independence. Many are able to find employment and stable, affordable housing, resume more normal lives, and take part in the life of the community. The health, safety and welfare of the larger community also benefits when these clients take on productive roles, and resources such as law enforcement and emergency medical care can be directed to other needs. Successes- Share positive information and stories about how your services have impacted the people you serve. Joe moved to Iowa City to find housing and employment. He became a resident of Shelter House and a client in the STAR Case Management Program. He began working the Hawkeye football games, and working on his second goal of becoming a cab driver. Through the support of the STAR Program, Joe renewed his driver's license and began driving for a local cab company. Both incomes enabled him to settle into his own apartment. Joe has continued in the STAR Program through his transition. Challenges- Identify barriers that impacted delivery of services, and/or unmet community needs. Shelter House struggles to stabilize the funding base and to build a reserve fund. This year poses the added challenge of building up operating revenue to cover the additional costs of operating the new facility. Jccoghs/aidtoagencies FYll/shelterhouse 2ndgtr.doc Agency: Housing Trust Fund of Johnson County (HTFJC) Funding FY11: Iowa City- $8,000 Coralville- $15,000 Number of People Served FY11 15t and 2"d Quarter: Iowa City-59 Coralville-0 Summarize the specific activities and events that have occurred during the first 6 months of the year that are supported by local funding. The HTFJC Board made $175,000 of its revolving loan fund available in September to agencies and persons serving low-to-moderate income persons with housing in Johnson County. Shelter House was awarded $64,000 in October for its lodge project. Applications for funding from the RLF were accepted in December, and HTFJC received two requests totaling $180,000. Describe the impact of specific activities and events on those served and the community. The Shelter House lodge project that was awarded helped them to pay off a loan with higher interest, which made the entire project more financially feasible. The project will provide transitional housing to six unrelated veterans with disabilities and in need of supportive services. The Shelter House purchased a duplex with the intention of renovating it to accommodate three unrelated persons living on each side. Share outcome measure from evaluation tools used to measure the effectiveness of programs supported with local funding. The effectiveness of our projects is best measured by each project's ability to remain available to persons at low-to-moderate income. If loan repayments are required, the successful receipt of those repayments indicates a project's continued financial feasibility. Successes- Share positive information and stories about how your services have impacted people you serve. Without our revolving loan funds, to which the City contributes, many of the projects we fund would not be able to be done. We are often the last piece of the puzzle in order to make a project financially feasible. The Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) project done in cooperation with ECICOG allowed HTFJC to be part of a project that conducted housing repairs to persons living outside of the metro area. Often times those assisted in the FHLB program had no other source of funding available to them in order to conduct necessary repairs on their homes. Challenges- Identify barriers that impacted delivery of services, and/or unmet community needs. A lack of sufficient funding is nearly always evident in our revolving loan fund. We continue to receive applications that exceed the funding available. In addition, until we have a guaranteed renewable state funding source, it is difficult to grant funds, which would allow us to make even more of an impact on community needs. Through the FHLB program, we were able to make some repairs to mobile homes in the rural areas; however, the issue of clear title prohibits us from helping all of the persons who need it. In addition, there are not sufficient funds available to assist all those who need to make repairs to their mobile homes. jccoghs/aidtoagencies FY11lhousingtrust2ndgtr.doc Agency: (CARE FY11 Funding: Iowa City-$8,950 Coralville- $1,210 Number of People Served FY11 15` and 2"d Quarter: Iowa City- 13 Coralville- 6 Summarize the specific activities and events that have occurred during the first 6 months of the year that are supported by local funding. (CARE provides information and referral, counseling and crisis intervention to this community on a 24 hour basis. Medical case management services were provided to 45 persons in a 22 county area. 22 of those clients live in Johnson County. Along with case management services staff advocates for services for clients in the community and works in collaboration with other agencies to assist in delivering those services. (CARE receives requests for presentations on various aspects of HIV/AIDS from community agencies and groups. Staff regularly does presentation for the UI School of Social Work substance abuse class. Presentations are provided on HIV education, prevention and available services for persons with HIV. (CARE also facilitates HIV prevention activities that target high risk behaviors. Describe the impact of specific activities and events on those served and the community. Specific activities include case management services, providing program information, prevention education and prevention activities that are specifically designed to target groups of person whose behaviors keep them at high risk for getting HIV. Case management services connect people with medical care and treatment and the accesses programs to pay for both. -t also assists clients with eliminating barriers to care such as emergent financial needs for food, shelter and clothing. The provision of information to persons needing care and treatment or more general information about HIV and services available for it are available through ICARE's website and from staff. Use of this service will either give persons the information they need or get them to the source of the information they need. Prevention education addresses public health concerns and provides participants with the information they need to never become infected with HIV. Prevention activities for targeted groups who are at high risk for HIV also receive all necessary knowledge to eliminate any possibilities of becoming infected with HIV along with support, encouragement and tools to abandon their high risk behaviors. Successes -Share positive information and stories about how your services have impacted the people you serve. For the past six months the primary request from our case managed clients has been for financial assistance as they are struggling in this economy. Almost 80 % of Johnson County clients have requested emergency assistance with rent, utilities, food or medical bills. The amount of assistance given during this time doubled the amount in the previous six months. For 4 of our clients we were able to access state funds to continue health insurance and consequently continue their access to medical care and treatment. We prevented homelessness for 10 Johnson County clients by providing either long or short term housing assistance by accessing state level HUD program. Challenges - Identify barriers that impacted delivery of services, andlor unmet community needs. The State of Iowa continues to see an increase in persons with HIV/AIDS diagnoses. Johnson County has the third highest number of persons diagnosed with HIV. Clients are also coming to us with a higher need level in terms of financial need and need for mental health services. Needs are higher and resources are fewer. Jccoghs/aidtoagencies FY1l/icare2ndgtr.doc Agency: MECCA Funding FY11: Iowa City- $10,000 Coralville- $500 Number of People Served FY11 15t and 2nd Quarter: Iowa City-126 Coralville-32 Summarize the specific activities and events that have occurred during the first 6 months of the year that are supported by local funding. Treatment- we continue to provide detoxification services to Johnson County residents, including handling immediate custody orders for those alleged to be chronic substance abusers. Describe the impact of specific activities and events on those served and the community. We have been collaborating with UIHC to ensure that people who present there for detoxification, and are not eligible for admission, are directed to us instead of being discharged to the outside. We have seen an improvement in access to services due to this collaboration. Successes -Share positive information and stories about how your services have impacted the people you serve. Prevention: Provide staff time for 24 hour response to calls from the public requesting information, crisis management, and referral for services: During the 2nd quarter MECCA's staff fielded 969 calls from the public requesting information. received assistance online by emailing us through our public website. A Parent and Student Forum on Alcohol Safety was held on October 21, 2010 at City High School. The Forum was planned and coordinated by MECCA's Prevention Manager in collaboration with staff and students from the University of Iowa (who are members of the Partnership for Alcohol Safety with the Prevention Manager), and the City High Government teacher. Approximately 50 parents and students attended the forum which focused on the impact of alcohol on the developing adolescent brain. Dr. Richard Newkirk out of Des Moines, who specializes in brain disorders from substance abuse, spoke to the crowd along with City High government students who shared results of research projects they conducted which focused on community problems that result from alcohol misuse and effective alcohol policies to reduce alcohol related problems in communities. Johnson County/United Way funding was used for speaker fees, printing and educational materials for the forum. VI. Challenges -Identify barriers that impacted delivery of services, and/or unmet community needs. Prevention: Parents are a critical audience to reach for effective substance abuse prevention. However, it is a continued struggle to identify effective ways to reach large audiences of parents with prevention information. Within our limited budget, we marketed the program as effectively as possible, using every free method of advertising available including: email blasts to multiple community groups, posting on Facebook, press releases, radio talk shows, posting information on school websites, school principals sent out emails to parents about the forum, and the ICCSD school superintendent sent a notice to all school principals in the district asking them to notify parents about the forum. Despite these efforts, we were disappointed that only approximately 30 parents and 20 students attended from through Johnson County. We recognize that parents are very busy and therefore difficult to reach; however, it remains critical that we reach them. Therefore, we wil{ continue to seek new and creative methods to reach parents with quality prevention information that is designed to give them the knowledge and tools necessary to prevent substance abuse problems by their children. jccoghs/aidtoagencies FY11/mecca2ndglr.doc Agency: Youth Empowered to Serve (YES) {Formerly Consortium for Youth Employment} Number of People Served FY11 15' and 2"d Quarter: Iowa City-40 Coralville-2 Summarize the specific activities and events that have occurred during the first 6 months of the year that are supported by local funding. The Youth Empowered to Serve -YES! program worked with 51 low-income, primarily minority youth from Iowa City, Coralville, and North Liberty from June through August 2010. The youth services program partners included: Johnson County Social Services, Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County, Community Corrections Improvement Association, Four Oaks. The community service work-site partners included: City of Iowa City public works, Crisis Center, Uptown Bill's & Mick's Workshop, Salvation Army, Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County. Describe the impact of specific activities and events on those served and the community. The program provides youth with positive adult role models, opportunity for skill-building, and earning of a monetary stipend for time spent performing community service projects. The program serves low income, minority youth, in small groups with positive adult role models to learn: How to perform as a team and provide positive community service in the community; Important skills for the future: working with others; conflict management; basic importance of good communication and being proactive with problems, following directions. Successes -Share positive information and stories about how your services have impacted the people you serve. One of the surprises of the summer experience was the sessions at Ecumenical Towers. This was a partnership with a UI instructor who operates a UI student community service program with Ecumenical Towers during the academic year, and who wanted to keep the partnership going over the summer. For 6 separate sessions, YES! teens went to Ecumenical Towers to interact with residents, including exchanging of stories, a pen pal exchange, and bingo. A follow-up in November resulted in YES! leaders learning that a few of the pen pal partnerships had continued beyond the summer. Additionally, while we haven't conducted a full scale "survey" of YES! Teen summer participants, we have learned that many of the YES! teens have secured private employment during the academic year. Including at the following businesses: Lou Henri, Journey's, McDonald's. Challenges - Identify barriers that impacted delivery of services, and/or unmet community needs. During the summer youth have more unstructured time, and the youth our agencies were working with were expressing a desire to work and earn money in the summer. Based on our challenges finding individual work site internships over the past 2 years with the economic recession, we patterned our program after the federal AmeriCorps program, and combined skill-development and group based community service projects and offered each youth a $25 stipend for every work session worked per week. Two sessions were offered each week -approximately 4 hours in length. We could work with more youth, and have more time during the week to work with youth.

Coralville,IA 52241 Two members of the Revenue Estimating Conference (REC) were connect: very bullish on the strength of Iowa's economy, citing employment growth estimates at 1.4% for the current year and 1.7% for the next htt~:ii~acobvforhouSe.orQi year. Iowa's strong farm economy and agricultural manufacturing www.iowahouse.orQ has help Iowa's economy speed its way to recovery. Iowa has sustained several months of growth and more workers are earning over-time income, which is also a sign of a~n improving economy. One member of the non-partisan budget panel was much more cautious in his remarks on the economy. Raising concerns with oil hitting $100 a barrel, unemployment rates still above historic levels, building permits low, and slow recovery. The REC estimates that the State will collect $5.855 billion in net general fund receipts and transfers for fiscal year 2011, which represents a $222 million increase from FY 2010. The fiscal year 2012 net revenue is estimated to be $6.189 billion, an increase of $333.3 million over the new fiscal year 2011 revenue estimate.

Page 2 of 2 Iowa Schools Still in the Lurch With the deadline for schools to set their budget for the next school year just two weeks away, Iowa school districts are still in the lurch because the state has not decided how much aid to provide next year. The Senate has approved a modest 2% growth rate for next year while the House majority party wants to provide zero growth for schools next year. School districts are also under pressure because the Legislature also has not reached a resolution on preschool funding as well. The difference between the House and Senate on preschool exceeds $40 million considering all sources of funding for preschool services. April 1St marks the 33rd day that the Legislature is in violation of current law for not enacting a school funding provision referred to as allowable growth. The final day for schools to certify their budgets is April 15th. Unfortunately, this is where inaction has its consequences, because schools will most likely assume no increase in funding per pupil and certify a lower budget.
