Twenty Years Of "Investing In People" A 451 HOLLISTER BUILDING 0 LANSINCL MICHIGAN 48933. t ORE. ANNI !JOSE MICHIGAN COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY ASSOCIATION 451 Hollister Building • Lansing, Michigan 48933 Phone (517) 484-1353 May 8, 1985 Dear Friends of Community Action: Poverty is not merely the lack of financial resources. To be poor entails a more profound kind of deprivation, for it means being denied full participation in the economic, social, and political life of our society. It means being without sufficient control over the decisions which affect your life. It means being powerless in a way that assaults not only your pocketbook, but also your fundamental human dignity. The Community Action Agencies of Michigan believe that providing equal opportunities to social and economic participation in our communities is a fundamental requirement of a just society. We believe that this effort includes the provision of self-help services which help low-income people gain and maintain greater levels of self-sufficiency. Services such as weatherization, emergency assistance, Head Start, senior programs, employ- ment and training, and targeted fuel assistance all make important contri- butions toward helping persons maintain their independence. But providing an equal opportunity goes far beyond the provision of services. It involves organizing low-income people for participation in community affairs. It involves sensitizing the community to the needs of its members on the margins of community life. It involves helping to remove barriers to self-sufficiency by working to broaden the economic life of the community and increase the productivity of its human resources. The pages that follow are the report of Michigan's Community Action Agencies over the past year to accomplish these goals. It gives only a few highlights. But we hope that it will suggest something of the efforts of over 5,000 commun= ity service workers and 29,600 volunteers to contribute to the lives of over 2.3 million recipients of service and, through them, to the lives of all the citizens of Michigan. 4_Ye_1o/rdaM_CAAAPeter KPresident What is MCAAA? The Michigan Community Action Agency Association (MCAAA) speaks on behalf of CAAs and those they serve throughout the state. Through its committees, MCAAA helps CAAs articulate positions on a variety of issues sych as energy, childrens issues, housing and aging. MCAAA enlists CAA expertise to offer consultation and technical assistance to a variety of state agencies in the Departments of Labor, Commerce, Education, Social Services, and the Office of Services to the Aging. The Association is actively involved in a variety of statewide groups and coalitions to maintain a CAA presence in a wide range of human service issues. Additionally, input from MCAAA has been sought by lawmakers in the past year in framing legislation on children's welfare, energy, aging issues, housing, public assistance and social services. In addition to the variety of information -sharing and consultation serv- ices offered by MCAAA, the Association is funded for a number of specific programs including: WEATHERIZATION TRAINING - Under contract from the Bureau of Community Services (BCS), Michigan Department of Labor, MCAAA employs a weatheriza- tion trainer, providing training and technical assistance services to CAAs and private contractors. SKILL BANK - A resource -sharing program among CAAs, funded by BCS, which enables agencies to draw upon each others' expertise for help in local programs, accounting, planning, evaluation, and other agency functions. RURAL COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM - MCAAA annually funds and oversees a number of small grants to provide technical assistance to low-income communities seeking to improve their water supply and/or water quality. The program is funded jointly by BCS and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, through the Great Lakes Rural Network. UTILITY CONSUMER REPRESENTATION PROGRAM - Under contract with the Energy Administration, Michigan Department of Commerce, MCAAA is representing utility consumers in several different consumer intervention issues. During 1982-84, MCAAA's efforts were responsible for a savings of $74 million to Detroit Edison electric customers. The Mission of Community Action Agencies In 1964, the first Community Action Agencies (CAAs) in Michigan opened their doors to begin a twenty-year tradition of service and, advocacy for disadvantaged, elderly and handicapped citizens throughout the state. Community acton is just what the name implies - a community bringing together its diverse resources and talents, leveraging additional public and private resource, enlisting volunteers, and involving consumers in helping to develop solutions to the problems of the community's low income citizens. As communities are enabled to meet the needs of their low-income members, providing emergency services for those in immediate need, broadening the circle of economic activity and encouraging participation in public life, the productivity and cohesiveness of the entire community is enhanced. As these goals are realized, the barriers between people are surpassed and with them, the barriers to economic participation and self-sufficiency. Toward these ends, Community Action Agencies in Michigan delivered $144.0 million in advocacy and services to Michigan's 83 counties. The adminis- trative core of the CAA program is provided through the federal Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), $11.4 million in 1983-84; and the State Supple- mental Appropriation (SSA), $1.625 million in the same year. From this base of $13 million in funding, Community Action Agencies attracted a total of $110.6 million additional in federal program funds, $10.7 million in state program funds, and $22.7 million in local public and private support. In addition, CAAs enlisted over 29,600 volunteers in providing local services in all areas of the state. Among the programs provided by CAAs are advocacy, community organization and economic development, Head Start and day care programs, weatherization, surplus commodity distribution, senior and youth services, and energy assist ance.

The center provides health services, medical care to pregnant teenagers, employment services and high school completion courses. Funding for the program comes from a variety of sources, including the Ingham County Health Department, Community Services Block Grant, Department of Social Services, JTPA and Private Foundation. The program began as a result of CACS's and the Health Department's joint concerns for the high teenage pregnancy rate and associated high infannt morta- lity rate in Ingham County. Capital Area Community Services continues to utilize its State Supplemental funding as the non-federal share to a Senior Aides Employment Grant. The state money allows CACS to receive a grant of $439,791 to employ 97 low-income seniors. The seniors work an average of twenty hours per week in agencies providing human services and services to senior citizens.

The nature and extent of the Agency'-s programming has been largely determined by the needs expressed and documented in the community at large and particu- larly by the needs of the target population, and by the availability of, and the ability to muster the appropriate resources to address the needs express- ed. The Agency has throughout maintained the flexibility to adapt its programming to the increasing and often changing needs of the communities served, and the target population. As the scope of the Agency's programming has expanded in response to the needs expressed, it has often become necessary to initiate, develop and operate new and innovative programs and projects to supplement existing programming, as a means of delivering maximum service with maximum efficiency to the maximum number.

Community Development Human Resources Youth Development Transportation Head Start Senior Citizens Housing Employment & Training The store has one full-time manager and one part- EnergyWinL.1 -tion time Green Thumb employee who helps fill in for Handicap Division lunch hours and vacations. The seniors who place items in the store determine what amount they want to receive for their crafts and 15 percent is taken off the top to help cover overhead. Once a month, checks are mailed to the crafters whose merchandise has sold during the previous month. In an average year since the store opened, approximately $35,000 is returned to area sen- iors through craft sales in the store. The 1,296 square feet of floor space allows creative and attractive display of a wide range of merchandise; handmade baby and doll clothes, handwoven baskets, paintings, soft sculpture, pillows, woodenware, af- ghans, hats, clocks, toys and Christmas ornaments, to name just a few.

Due to EightCAP, Inc. serving as the Administrative Entity and primary Service Provider for the Central Area Partnership Consortium (CAPC), the Service Delivery Area achieved the highest overall performance in the state. During the program year, Commu- nity Services aided 62,703 men, women, and children. Services included cloth- ing, weatherization applications, referalls and taxes. Every month 8,150 families benefitted from a commodities distribution of USDA cheese, dried milk, cornmeal and butter. New projects and technology helped the Weatheriza- tion Program reach 129 percent of their service goal. Purchase of a Retrotec RDF-501 blower provided Weatherization a level of technology to accurately measure air infiltration in homes. The Head Start staff delivered quality services to 808 children, 88 of whom were handicapped. The Domestic Violence Program held a benefit dinner on March 22 featuring Dr. Agnes Mansour which attracted a record crowd of 225 people. Program staff and members of People Against Domestic Violence cosponsored "Unity Day", a part of National Domestic Violence Awarenes Week on October 8, 1984. The Foster Grandparent Program began making senior home placements for the first time in 1984. Grand- parents went into private homes to work with teenage mothers, neglected child- ren and Juvenile Court youths. EightCAP's history of sound fiscal and opera- tional management received statewide recognition when the agency was selected to continue programs for KentCAP when the neighboring Community Action Agency went bankrupt.

Friday, March 9, 1984 marked the day that Kent CAP, Inc. closed their doors and ceased providing CAA ser- vices in Kent County. On Monday, March 12, 1984, the doors were opened and CAA service delivery continued under the interim administration of Eight CAP, Inc., a four -county CAA based to the north of Kent County. Continuation of service delivery was made possible by the joint efforts of City and County elected and appointed officials, MDOL/BCS staff, and officials of other re- source allocating agencies. Significant program changes during the year -were: 1) conversion of the Weath- erization program to competitive private contracting; 2) loss of the Head Start Program; and, 3) loss of the Foster Grandparent Program. Significant from the administrative perspective was the groundwork started in FY '84, continuing in FY '85, which will culminate with the transfer of all programs to a newly designated Kent County public CAA by the start of FY 185.

Our services are directed to the chronicall ACTIOy poor and new poor, resulting from the current realities of a de- pressed economy. Unemployment rates range from 15.6 to 18.3%; Senior Citizens, living on fixed incomes, represent 28% of the service population. Reductions in jobs, available programs and loss of payable benefits, challenge this agency to meet the needs of an ever changing and growing segment of the population. It is FiveCAP's intent to provide maximum, high quality services per program dollar. However, severe funding reductions over the last four years has resulted in a greater demand for services. To respond to this increased need, community groups made up of churches and service organizations were formed to help gather and coordinate local resources. FiveCAP, Inc. was instrumental in establishing, in Mason County, the most successful group - Caring in Action. This group solicits support and donations to set-up and maintain food banks. We continue to explore new areas of service which may aid the solution to, or relief of poverty. Other efforts include an Adult Literacy project. Other program activities include: Home Weatherization, Targeted Fuel Assistance, Home Help, Senior Nutrition and Meals on Wheels programs, Gardening and Food Preservation, Food Buying Clubs, Head Start/Day Care, Commodity Food Distri- bution, Community Organization and Support Services and Toys for Tots.

Aurora St. IRONWOOD, MICHIGAN 49938 Thomas Vizanko, Executive Director Robert Pacquin, Board Chairperson Despite continuous efforts to reduce or eliminate funding for programs opera- ted by Community Action Agencies, the Goebic-Ontonagon CAA successfully opera- ted 15 different programs and activities during FY '84. One of our Agency's proudest achievements is the creation and continuation of an Upper Peninsula - wide senior employment program -- SELLS (See and Enjoy our Lands, Lakes and Streams), which this past year received last minute funding through JTPA-II monies. This program continues to prove the value of itself by providing 20 hours per week gainful employment as eye-catching tourist guides who are dressed in uniforms reminiscent of the Canadian Mounties. Last summer over 100 low-income seniors made contact with some 293,000 tourists from across the nation and foreign countries. Another rather unusual program is the Agency's Wood Program which offers low- income households an opportunity to offset the winter's high cost of heating through the purchase of low-cost face cords of wood that are cut, split and ready for use. Last year, this program provided 1500 face cords to 320 house- holds at virtually no cost to the Agency by utilizing labor from the Green Thumb Program and DSS recipients. A continuous supply of logs was provided by project income generated by the sale of this wood. The Agency's focus on seeking alternate fuels as a means to escape the high cost of gas and oil heat is also reflected in a new profitmaking venture by promoting the sale of wood pellets as an alternate fuel. Last year the Agency took its first steps at creating a subsidiary corporation to market the wood pellets and to sell stoves to low-income households as well as local private and public buildings and industries. This venture is made possible through a $910,000 grant received by the Michigan Alternate Energy Board which is spon- sored by the DickinsonIron CAA on behalf of the six CAP Agencies in the Upper Peninsula.

Our agency took responsibility for Senior Citizens' Day activities at the U.P. State Fair at which Governor Blanchard spoke to the seniors and expressed appreciation to the Project SELLS' guides from our agency who escorted him as he toured the fairground activities. He expressed appreciation for the posi- tive effect the guides were making on increasing tourism in the U.P. Through an arranged referral system with the Departments of Social Services, private groups and our agency, we manage to use limited resources to help more people.

Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency CX!%K 196 Oakland Ave., P.O. Box 598, Pontiac, Michigan 48056-0598 (313) 858-5126 In addition to maintaining a comprehensive array of services to older persons through its network of 38 senior centers, the OLHSA Senior Citizens Department helped organize the 1984, Oakland County Senior Power Day. This event, which included workshops on utilities, transportation, housing, and health was attended by approximately 800 senior citizens. Seniors' concerns about the above topics were recorded and forwarded to all Oakland County Commissioners. This effort enhanced senior citizens' knowledge of issues criti- cal to them and conveyed to elected officials concerns felt by their older constituents. Also, during FY 1984-85, the Senior Department made arrange- ments with Pontiac Cablevision to convey to the public information about the agency and other community programs on a daily basis. A computerized cable - vision terminal, based within the department, is handled by an OLHSA Senior AIDE trained for this purpose. Regular use of cablevision has enhanced public awareness and use of OLHSA's services for seniors in the Pontiac area. In Livingston County, the Field Services Department operates a water and sewer program which has provided over $30,000 of direct grants from the FHA 504 Program to low-income, elderly and handicapped residents of Livingston County. These funds address housing rehab problems as well as water septic problems.

In this first year, it was important for OCCAA to gain recognition as a source of information/referral and services for low-income individuals. In a coop- erative effort with its delegate agencies and other community community ser- vice organizations, OCCAA concentrated on acting in a leadership role in the community as a primary source of information for low-income persons and on "filling the gaps" in services available to them. 11 In this first year, OCCAA served more than 5,400 county residents with infor- mation/referral, housing, legal assistance, medical care, and shelter and counseling for victims of domestic violence. Outreach and referral services were provided to 3,200 senior citizens and more than 3,000 county residents benefited from home weatherization and TFA. The agency also coordinated the distribution of approximately 25,000 pounds of USDA Surplus Commodities.

Economic decline related to the automotive industry difficulties has resulted in an increased number of families in need of assistance from CAA, several for the first time ever. The need for meaningful programs has never been greater. Region II CAA has focused on the family's need for adequate food, home heat- ing, clothing and medical care. Emergency food pantry operations combined with USDA Commodity Distribution, Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Supplemen- tal Food Program, Nutrition for the Elderly and Head Start food service, and Summer Gardens, to help meet the needs for proper nutrition. Home weatheriza- tion, a fuel assistance program and a pilot project, Furnace Fuel Efficiency Retrofit Program (OFFER) assisted with home heating problems. Basic clothing needs were addressed by distributing donations from a local retailer. Medical care services to needy residents of Lenawee County were provided thru our clinic operation. Medical and dental services were provided to all Head Start children in Jackson and Hillsdale Counties. A variety of other programs for our needy families complimented all of these activities during FY '84.

Through economic development activities, the Washtenaw County Community Services Agency has been able to create a for -profit business, Community Stripping, Inc., which is targeted at producing jobs for low-income and laid off individuals. Profits from that business go back into the community and into the business to generate other activi- ties which will allow for the creation of jobs, and provi- sion of services into the low-income areas. The Washtenaw County Community Services Agency is also looking at developing a 10.8 acre parcel of land on the south side of Ypsilanti into a commercial retail center. The goal is to target jobs and services to an under served and targeted community in the county. Through these types of activities, the Washtenaw County Community Services Agency feels that it can take new di- rection and have a new impact and truly break the cycle of poverty on residents in Washtenaw County.
