What specific need in the community is Agency addressing? (Describe the extent of the need--including current local data with source information and the major factors in the community contributing to the need.) 9/16/2022 8:42 AM CST © 2022 e-CImpact page 3 of 24 Neighborhood Centers and outreach areas are located in the most diverse and highest poverty neighborhoods of Johnson County, Iowa. We have Centers located in two Iowa City neighborhoods—the southeast side which is home to the Broadway/Grant Wood Neighborhood, and the west-side which is home to the Pheasant Ridge neighborhood. Our history of working with marginalized families and young children began in 1973. We started with a basic framework of neighborhood- and family-driven programming designed to meet the needs of the child, youth, and family. It is from this basic design philosophy that we adapted to the emerging needs of children and families over the years. We design programs with families to meet the needs of their whole family. Combined, our Centers and outreach areas represent the most diverse members of the Johnson County community. Demographics of the Neighborhood Centers participants include the following ethnicities: 51% African American/African, 27% Hispanic, 20% Caucasian, and 2% Asian. A variety of entities document the poverty levels in our service areas including: the State of Iowa and Johnson County census information, Iowa City Community School District (ICCSD) free and reduced lunch data, the American Community Survey results, the Johnson County United Way Community Assessment, and the Early Childhood Iowa Community Needs Assessment. The data highlights the struggles facing low- income families in our neighborhoods and communities and the unmet needs of at-risk children and families in our community. Despite being such a small percentage of our community, minority families are struggling in Johnson County. According to a 2010 United Way report, almost half (49.6%) of black families in Johnson County lived in poverty compared to 21.2% nationally; only 4% of white families in Johnson County lived in poverty compared with 6.1% nationally. In addition, 62.8% of food stamp recipients in our community are black (United Way of Johnson County and American Community Survey). A regular influx of displaced immigrant and refugee families—often arriving in our neighborhoods with little more than the clothing ‘on their back,’—makes for vibrant and ever-changing neighborhoods rich in language and culture. However, the refugee families struggle to meet basic needs including food security, employment, English language, childcare, transportation, and healthcare. We see firsthand the struggles facing our neighborhood families. Families need ELL programming, employment, childcare, assistance with utilities, rent, and food security, understanding public busing, and a crash-course in managing the ever-changing Iowa weather. Their children live in high-poverty homes, often isolated from the greater community, lagging behind their middle-class peers with available healthcare services and have academic supports to ready them for kindergarten. They are at-risk for a myriad of developmental delays. NCJC lies in the hearts of these low-income neighborhoods and serves as a hub and resource for many vulnerable families, often one of the first places they visit upon arriving in our community. Through NCJC, families are able to access an array of services designed to help them attain self-sufficiency and maintain them within a community of support. 2. Provide a description of services that will be provided with the United Way funding requested. Specific information is required, not a general agency description. 9/16/2022 8:42 AM CST © 2022 e-CImpact page 4 of 24 Funding from United Way is key to the mission and success of Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County (NCJC). The block grant nature of this funding allows us to respond to emerging needs, sustaining successful programs while helping us leverage state, federal, and private funding. It also provides an essential base to cover overhead that other funders are less inclined to support. Therefore, we consider it integral to all of the programming we do. Our funding and our ability and capacity to carry out programming are still in some ways threatened due to the impacts of COVID-19, making United Way support even more critical. Through United Way, we provide education and support programming to help youth and adults make key life transitions and become happy and independent. Early Education Programs (birth-5 years) Our early childhood classrooms serve 96 children from birth to five years old at our two Centers. While our 3-5-year-old classrooms have sustainable grant funding, our other classrooms do not. These classrooms rely mostly on Child Care Assistance, which does not provide enough to maintain successful classroom operation. This funding will help support a third staff member in our Broadway two-year-old classroom. This classroom has several special needs children who require one-on-one support. Youth Development Programs (kindergarten – 12th grade) We serve 500+ school-age children daily in our many programs, which include before and after school programs (Twain, Alexander, Wood, and Garner), summer day camps, G! WORLD, NCJC Bike Club, Youth Engaged in Leadership & Learning and pre-employment. Family Support (parents; prenatal to pre-kindergarten) Our family support program provides support to parents and families through home visitation, parenting classes, and family literacy. Parents As Teachers provide 200 home visits with families each month. Neighborhood Engagement COVID-19 impacts still linger within the communities we serve. Actively creating opportunities for families to renew and rebuild their ties to their own and the larger community is essential as we move forward in our mission. Our Neighborhood engagement program responds to issues and concerns that affect the entire neighborhood or the larger community through collaborative events such as National Night Out, Back-To- School Bash, HalloRidge, Harvest Feast, etc. We will expand on these events as we move further from the health concerns and implications of COVID-19. 3.

Provide a description of services that will be provided with the Coralville funding requested. Specific information is required, not a general agency description. 9/16/2022 8:42 AM CST © 2022 e-CImpact page 6 of 24 We have a long history of serving all residents of Johnson County – many of whom have been. are currently, or could potentially be Coralville residents. The pandemic has shown us that relationships and community- building are so important as we further expand our mission of strengthening families, building neighborhoods and creating community throughout this community. NCJC has multiple ongoing connections with the Coralville community. Our Pheasant Ridge community center is within walking distance of the Coralville city limits and there are many ways in which Coralville residents benefit from the services that we provide. Currently, three of the children enrolled in licensed programs at our Pheasant Ridge center are residents of Coralville. Our Family Support Workers regularly serve approximately a dozen families with children aged prenatal to pre-Kindergarten residing in Coralville. Our G! WORLD program – which works primarily with teen girls of color – is available to Coralville students enrolled in the Iowa City Community School District (ICCSD). G! WORLD is the area’s preeminent social-emotional support program for teen girls of color that also addresses the traumas of sexual, physical and emotional abuse. Established in 2012, G! WORLD creates a safe space for girls to improve their self-esteem, create positive peer relationships, and strengthen their networks of support. The program currently serves girls in grades 7th through 12th grade enrolled in the ICCSD. We are a part of the Coralville Village Project – which is a helpful series of community brainstorming & networking meetings designed to help us all stay informed about existing resources in Coralville and identify gaps and opportunities. 5. Please describe how Organization and your services have been impacted by COVID- 19? Please include any plans you have in place for FY24. This is your opportunity to describe how COVID-19 has continued to impact your budget and expenses. 9/16/2022 8:42 AM CST © 2022 e-CImpact page 7 of 24 Like most organizations, the COVID-19 pandemic had a profound effect on our programs and services beginning mid-March 2020. Our family support workers immediately moved their program’s home visits from in-person to online. In April, 2020, we discontinued our in-person programming for children (early education and school-age programming) because it required face-to-face contact. Fortunately, we were able to continue to do some outdoor activities with our youth cycling program during that spring and summer. At the same time, our teen girls’ program – G! WORLD – began facilitating group sessions virtually. All programs were scaled back considerably to maintain health and safety. In September of 2020, we restarted four preschool classrooms at half capacity and adapted our three 21st Century Before & After School Program (BASP) sites to accommodate the schools’ alternating attendance days. We began a new partnership with St. Andrew Presbyterian Church and local organizations to offer a space (NEST program) for elementary-aged children to do online school on their out-of-building days. Our remaining early childhood classrooms were phased back in between November 2020 and March 2021. All five BASPs restarted with low attendance in February 2021 after the state mandated all schools to return fully. The pandemic had a huge impact on our relationships with families. Until June of 2021 only staff and program attendees were allowed inside our buildings. This was a huge hardship for our well-established community center lifestyle which put a wrench in key relationship-building within our programs. BASPs and youth programs returned at limited capacity during summer of 2021. Programs discovered that more youth were suffering from mental health issues and exhibiting more behaviors than ever before. In August of 2021, we hosted two in-person outdoor block party events for the first time since March 2020. Family support workers continued to do home visits remotely with some in-person visits and assistance when necessary. Virtual home visits have been surprisingly successful despite the limitations families had in acquiring online resources. Fall 2021 classrooms and programs returned to normal. Over the last year we have slowly made efforts to return our spaces back to a community center model. Most of our programming requires in-person contact to generate revenue. We made efforts early on to keep staff in place by supplementing our income through the federal Paycheck Protection Program. After depleting that support, we were forced to furlough 26 staff and had to let go of many of our part-time staff in 2020. Thankfully, we were able to bring back all of our furloughed staff by the end of that year. To date, we still have not fully recovered from the impact the pandemic has had on our staffing. It has been hard to regain the number and quality we once had. This affects revenue and program quality. For example, it has been difficult to staff our BASPs. Fewer staff means fewer open spots for children in these programs, which means less income and lower program quality. Pre-pandemic, our BASPs collectively served 400+ kids daily. Currently, mostly due to staffing, our BASPs serve about 200. Each of our BASP sites have a waitlist of 20 kids that cannot attend due to a lack of personnel. 6. Is your organization experiencing staff turnover and/or difficulty filling open positions? Please describe any staffing challenges. 9/16/2022 8:42 AM CST © 2022 e-CImpact page 8 of 24 NCJC is currently experiencing significant staffing shortages across the entire agency, with open positions in our early childhood, youth, and family support programs. We are finding these shortages especially pronounced in our licensed care and learning programs, which rely on fee-for-service reimbursement at rates largely determined by state agencies such as the Department of Human Services or the Department of Education. Unlike for-profit businesses which can adjust their fees to better compensate their employees, our reimbursement structure is largely static and does not equip us with the ability to substantially increase wages to make our positions more competitive in the current employment market. As a result, our current wage for entry-level employees is several dollars per hour less than current entry-level wages at local fast- food restaurants. We have convened an ad hoc committee to evaluate our compensation structure and propose sustainable changes that will allow us to attract and retain quality, qualified staff to work with our county’s youngest and most vulnerable residents. 7. Please describe how Agency is collaborating with other service providers in the community to reduce costs, increase efficiency and improve services for consumers. Community partnerships are essential to the services that NCJC provides. It is our mission to create connections and access to resources/services by bringing our neighbors to services or bringing services into our neighborhoods: Mobile Health Clinic – monthly medical clinics at the Pheasant Ridge center with Arabic-speaking medical personnel Iowa Children’s Museum – partnership to bring STEM activities to youth in our target neighborhoods; activities for our BASP locations Iowa City Community School District – contract to provide Statewide Voluntary Preschool programming in early childhood; contracts for four BASP’s; program sites for G!WORLD Johnson County Public Health/NIH - COVID education and vaccination clinics at our centers, bike safety programs in BASP in the ICCSD GROW! Johnson County – involving YELL and G! WORLD programs in the food production system; provision of seasonal, fresh produce to our Centers Iowa City Public Library – maintaining lending libraries at our sites; bookmobile visits once a week; story hours in early learning classrooms Table to Table – weekly deliveries of produce, dairy, and non-perishable items for public consumption 4-H – weekly organized activities for our BASP programs South District Neighborhood Association – collaboration on community events: National Night Out, Harvest Feast, and Team Up to Clean Up City of Iowa City – bus passes, youth programs, swimming lessons and collaborating on community events: National Night Out, Harvest Feast Grant Wood AEA – we provide space for GWAEA to work with young children in our early childhood programs and from the neighborhood St. Andrew Presbyterian Church – a valuable community partner that provides us with space for our professional development programs and provides volunteers to support our community nutrition program United Action for Youth – summer programs collaboration; referral process across programs in development Client Information Please complete Client Demographic (Form B) in addition to the question below. 9/16/2022 8:42 AM CST © 2022 e-CImpact page 9 of 24 8. Provide a succinct, specific description of your primary target populations(s). Describe clients as a group in terms of their primary needs and strengths. What barriers to success do they face? If Agency serves a regional area, please provide % of overall clients that are Johnson County residents. NCJC is a geographically-focused service organization operating in two of the highest concentrations of low-income housing in the county: Pheasant Ridge and Broadway. Our target population includes the residents of the neighborhoods surrounding our centers, as well as the residents of similarly isolated neighborhoods (such as the Breckenridge Community, Cole Community, and Forestview). Pheasant Ridge: The Pheasant Ridge Neighborhood is a low-income housing complex on the west side of Iowa City. It has two distinct populations—political refugees and immigrants from eastern Africa and African American families. Pheasant Ridge and the surrounding area are home to more than 150 elementary school youth and their younger siblings. The Pheasant Ridge Neighborhood Center sits at the heart of this neighborhood and acts as the community center for this neighborhood and ever-changing population. Since 1973, the Center has served to welcome and transition in new families, helping to stabilize the family and to assist the family in securing basic needs. We offer child development, youth programs, family support, and community building. Broadway: Both African Americans and displaced African refugees are moving to the Southeast-side of Iowa City. Latino families are also well-represented in the area schools. It is estimated that over 150 Congolese families, have moved to Iowa City over the past few years and this number is growing. In addition to working through language barriers, all of these families struggle with obtaining basic resources including food, clothing, employment, and child services. Southeast Iowa City is the primary ‘first destination’ for these displaced families. This neighborhood offers a variety of housing opportunities including HACAP housing, homeless housing, Section 8 units, and a substantial number of lower-rent apartments and duplexes. We offer child development, youth programs, family support, and community building activities. 9. Please explain how Agency promotes racial equity and inclusivity for historically oppressed and marginalized populations (including BIPOC, LGBTQ, immigrants/refugees, individuals with disabilities) through your services, for your clients and for staff. 9/16/2022 8:42 AM CST © 2022 e-CImpact page 10 of 24 Our Centers have a rich history of serving our community’s most marginalized populations. We have found that even though our local community has much to offer, our families often miss out on key transformative opportunities. Local reports state that our area is not an inclusive community, but rather a community in which residents fare differently depending on their race and ethnicity* As a neighborhood-based agency working alongside families facing daily struggles, we have long recognized the barriers families of color face when attempting to engage with early learning environments and schools. Barriers such as language, culture, transportation, financial resources and time. With so many systemic barriers, families are less likely to become invested and engaged with their neighbors, community at large, or the institutions that are there to serve them. We have supported efforts to change policies and practices to eliminate the barriers present in the lives of marginalized families. Programmatically, we offer multi-language early education. All of our classroom and parent materials are translated into Spanish and Arabic and some Swahili, French, and Lingala. We hire from our neighborhoods so that children and families see ‘their’ faces in our program staff. Therefore, more than 60% of our staff are persons of color and a majority speak two or more languages. Our staff and leadership include members of the LGBTQ community and we welcome that community into our NCJC family. We recognize, though, that it will require systematic, structural and policy change for barriers to be eradicated. Since the mid-1990s, we have initiated several efforts to engage parents in their children’s schools and other community institutions. We have led efforts to welcome newcomers and improve the quality of life in the neighborhoods we serve. Some of those efforts include the Broadway Improvement Group and community-wide planning efforts to bring together partners and resources for youth summer programs and activities. In 2013, we convened a stakeholder’s meeting to create and refine support opportunities for newly-arriving families seeking refuge from war-torn regions in the Democratic Republic of Congo. NCJC is engaged in racial equity work at a variety of levels. We have staff working in various groups and committees. We also have staff trained as Racial Equity trainers. We have provided support to the Iowa Department of Education to help them improve staff diversity and to help their programs reach more diverse populations. In 2020, staff initiated a committee to further NCJC’s commitment to social justice and racial equity work to better support staff and families served daily. Additionally, in 2020 our early education staff received an Iowa AEYC’S Equity and Opportunity Award for programs that have made a significant contribution to expanding inclusive practices in early care and education. *Racial Equity Status Report from the Coalition for Racial Justice (July 2013); Bruch, School Climate in the Iowa City Community School District 2017 Client Information Area Median Income 10.

While some programs have income guidelines as a requirement for services, many programs are available to our neighbors regardless of household income. In FY2022, NCJC provided services to over 1000 unique households. Of those households, 54.8% had incomes at 0-30% AMI, 21.9% had incomes at 31-50% AMI, 6.4% had incomes at 51-80% AMI, and 16.9% had incomes at >80% AMI. Financial Management You must complete the Budget Form C, in addition to the questions below. 11. Do you have a fee structure for services? If yes, please explain and describe services available for those without ability to pay. Licensed learning and care programs at NCJC (Early Childhood Education, School-Based Before- and After-School Programs) require payment for participation. NCJC accepts many forms of payment for these services, including but not limited to: State Child Care Assistance, Department of Education Shared Visions funding, Statewide Voluntary Preschool Program funding, State Wrap funding, Johnson County ECI Wraparound funding, Johnson County NEST funding, 21st Century funds, and private scholarships. If any or all of a family’s fees cannot be covered by these external funding sources, the family is held responsible for payment. All other programs at NCJC are offered free-of-charge, though individual programs may have income eligibility requirements. 12. Describe how local funding received by your organization helped leverage other revenue in the last fiscal year. Identify and include specific grant/funding sources and amounts that were awarded by using local funding as match. Include the specific local funds used as match (United Way, Iowa City and/or Coralville). 9/16/2022 8:42 AM CST © 2022 e-CImpact page 12 of 24 Leveraging support from outside the community is one of the important, and often overlooked, products of local funding for Neighborhood Centers and other human service agencies. The financial support of United Way, City of Iowa City, and City of Coralville makes our funding applications more appealing and competitive to grant makers and other funders. Neighborhood Centers uses local support as match for several grants. We categorize block grant funding (Coralville, Iowa City, and United Way) as discretionary local funding. It is used for match. But it is also used to cover some overhead and help us address emerging needs or start new programs. Here are some of the specific examples of things we used local block grant funding for in FY22: Total Program Expenses Total matched dollars Child Care food Program: $145,176.45 $20,124.03 Victims of Crime Act $147,325.01 $33,280 Beyond these specific items, local discretionary funding covers other things that make us more competitive for all of our grants. For instance, it helps pay for supporting volunteers, keeping our buildings and playgrounds operational, maintaining and repairing vans, neighborhood and community events, and some administrative costs. It’s safe to say NCJC might not exist, or at least not with the variety and quality of our programming, if it were not for United Way and local government funding. Just to offer some perspective on overall return on investment, we currently spend $2.4 million just in wages and benefits. We receive about $247k local government and United Way block grant investment. Nearly all of the difference between the block grant investments and the total amount we spend on wages - almost $2 million - comes from funders outside the Johnson County community. Of course, the wages and benefits do not include the roughly $600,000 we spend on local goods and services. Agency Accomplishments The United Way and Local Governments work toward making our community a better place to live.
