Cleveland Foundation – 1976 Annual Report by The Cleveland Foundation

THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATION The Cleveland Foundation is the oldest and one o f the largest c o m m u n ity fou n da tio ns in the country. It was established in 1914 to p ro vide a mechanism throu g h w h ic h any d o n o r m ig h t make a g ift o r bequest of any size fo r the b enefit o f the Greater Cleveland co m m u n ity, certain tha t changing needs w o u ld n o t make the g ift obsolete. There are n o w 234 separate trust funds in the Foundation plus a C o m b in ed Fund fo r the in vestm ent of smaller gifts. The five trustee banks of The Cleveland Foundation safeguard and in vest the funds w h ic h are allocated several times each year by an 1 1-m em ber D istrib u tio n C o m mittee. This co m m itte e, assisted by a profes sional staff, distributes the funds in ways both consistent w ith d o n o r wishes and in tune w ith co nte m p orary p h ila n th ro p ic opportunities. Some donors designate specific organizations to receive the gifts; others lim it gifts to broader areas o f concern such as civic or cultural affairs, e ducation, health or social services. M any d o nors give w h o lly unrestricted gifts w h ich provide im p o rta n t fle x ib ility in a llo w in g the D istribu tio n C o m m itte e to respond effectively to changing c o m m u n ity needs as they emerge. M em bers o f the D istribu tio n C o m m itte e are selected in a variety of ways to assure that a

cross section of c o m m u n ity leadership is re sponsible fo r d istrib u tio n of the Foundation's resources. O ne m e m b e ro f the D is trib u tio n C o m m ittee is appo in te d by each of the fo llo w in g : the chief judge o f the United States District Court, Northern D istrict o f O h io , Eastern D iv i sion; the presiding judge of the Probate Court of Cuyahoga C ounty; the m ayor of Cleveland; the president of the Federation fo r C o m m u n ity Planning, and the chief justice of the C ourt of Appeals fo r the Eighth A ppellate D istrict of O h io . These five p u b lic officials also select a m em ber w h o is a trustee or principal officer of another p h ila n th ro p ic founda tio n. Five a d d i tional members are appointed by the Trustees Committee. Each m em ber of the D istribution C om m itte e is appo in te d fo r a five-year term. The Trustees C om m itte e is composed of the chief executive officers of the five trustee banks: The Cleveland Trust Company, Central National Bank o f Cleveland, National City Bank, Society National Bank o f Cleveland and Union C o m merce Bank.

THE CHAIRMAN’S LETTER It is a m atter o f great fo rtu n e that The Cleveland Foundation, fo u n d e d in 1914 and nursed by g e n e r a tio n a fte r g e n e r a t io n o f its c itiz e n s , should come to its full flo w e r at a tim e w h e n the city needs such an agency as never before. The Foundation's assets are n o w $209 m illio n — an increase o f $66 m illio n over the past five years. The D is trib u tio n C o m m itte e a uth orize d $10.3 m illio n in grants d u rin g 1976, an increase of alm ost tw o m illio n dollars above the previous high figure a uthorized in 1975. The Foundation continues to g ro w each year, throu g h p ru de n t m anagem ent o f its assets by the participating banks and by new gifts fro m Clevelanders w h o give back to the c o m m u n ity some part of w h a t the c o m m u n ity has given to them. The Cleveland Foundation does n o t th in k its mission is one o f m eeting the annual operating costs o f c o m m u n ity agencies. This is an im p o r tant task to be handled in o th e r ways, notably throu g h U nited Torch. W e k n o w that fo u n d a tio n spending is a small part o f the vo luntary giving o f private citizens and the organizations they create — a mere 7.5% o f all such giving in the nation in 1975. O u r special task is to re ward p eople and institutions that seek new and better answers to the many pro ble m s that living in cities presents to all o f us. Cleveland is at a critical ju n c tu re in its history — a c o n d itio n n o t u nlike that c o n fro n te d by all o f the old industrial cities o f the nation. W e are losing p o p u la tio n . Those w h o have remained are scattered over a large land area — a fact that complicates all forms o f p u b lic service and fo re shadows new difficulties as w e begin to face up to the shortage o f energy resources. O u r in dus trial plant is old and constantly must be re newed. New forms o f transportation and n ew sources o f raw materials have erased the early advantage o f river and lake transport. O u r labor

pro ble m s and splintered local governments, t o gether w ith the enorm ous co m p lica tion s that stem fro m highly partisan politics, suggest cau tion to those w h o have investm ent decisions to make. Clearly, the road ahead fo r Cleveland w ill be a rocky one, req uirin g a laying on o f all hands to match the successes o f the past. All o f o u r cities c o n fro n t m o n um en tal ques tions in human affairs n ot easily resolved. The m atter o f desegregating o u r schools is a case in p o in t that is dealt w ith elsewhere in this re port. The same is true o f the delivery o f social services, in c lu d in g those necessary to cope w ith illness and disability, paying the cost thereof, and fin d in g ways to prevent such p roblem s to the extent possible. School and college fin a n c ing, greatly exacerbated by in flationary c o n d i tions and by the decline o f the n u m b e r o f 18-22 year olds in the p o p u la tio n , presents new and staggering problem s. The cultural services have never been in a healthy c o n d itio n , d e p e nd in g as they must upon the sale o f tickets and the pa tronage o f the relatively fe w for th e ir nurture. W h a t is o f im p o rta nce in the Cleveland c o m m u n ity is that w e do n o t c o n fro n t these matters em pty-ha n de d . The resources o f The Cleveland Foundation, and the partnership we have deve l oped w ith a n u m b e r o f private foundations, make possible a constant study of o u r c o n d i tion, e xpe rim en ta tion w ith ways o f dealing w ith the facts b ro u g h t to light, the training o f the youn g in institutions o f high q ua lity w ith a sim i lar focus on matters o f c o m m o n concern, and the e ncouragem ent o f many o th e r parties to open w id e in q u iry on questions begging for b etter solutions than we n o w have. This is w h y The Cleveland Foundation is n o w fostering m a jo r c o m m u n ity efforts in crim inal justice, re h ab ilita tio n o f o u r housing stock, eco n o m ic re d e ve lo p m e n t o f n e ig h b o rh o o d sub

centers, im p o rta n t experim ents in social service delivery, new artistic endeavors in the fields of dance and opera along w ith co ntin u ed support o f distinctive w o rk in music and the theater. Hard choices w ill always be necessary— there w ill never be enough m oney to su pp o rt all that people aspire to accomplish. It is a curious fact, however, that there is often more m oney to w o rk w ith than there are creative efforts headed by people w ith good promise. W h a t is in p le n ti ful supply are " g o o d " programs that need sup p o rt of various kinds b ut are much m ore the province of a U nited Torch agency or g overn m ent than a c o m m u n ity fou n da tio n. To direct fo u n d a tio n su pport to good programs is to miss the p o in t of o u r being and to miss the o p p o r tunities fo r imaginative service that seems to be especially ours to supply. The Cleveland Foundation has been the b en eficiary o f great service by outstanding citizens over its 63-year history. Three o f o u r current members com pleted ten years of service at the end o f March, 1977. They are Frank E. Joseph, George F. Karch and Thomas F. Patton. W e o w e much to these fine men. Their co ntribu tio ns have gone a long way to shape o u r m a jo r p o li cies and to assure that the Foundation serves well its responsibility to the public. Their c o u n sel w ill be greatly missed.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT The history of every city in A m e ric a reveals critical junctures at w h ic h the ju d g m e n t exer cised by its leaders spelled the d iffe re n ce be tween progress and chaos. Cleveland is at such a crucial p o in t in its history. The c o m m u n ity must fin d app ro p ria te ways o f responding to a Federal C o u rt fin d in g that its p u b lic schools are s e g re g a te d by race and t h a t an a p p r o p r ia t e remedy must be d eveloped and im p le m e n te d . H o w can a c o m m u n ity fo u n d a tio n play a use ful role in a c o m m u n ity faced w ith so m o m e n tous a decision? It can ignore the p ro b le m and confin e its interest to the tra dition a l forms of charity. It can line up w ith one o f the parties to the c o u rt action. It can seek in various ways to bring light on the matters at issue, k n o w in g that in a d e m o cra tic system w e must depend on the c o m m o n sense and decency o f o u r p eo p le to arrive at w o rk a b le answers to the questions at issue. The latter has been o u r course over the past tw o years. W e have s u pported legal review of the desegregation arg um en t before the federal courts since 1954. W e have m o n ito re d the suit b ro u g h t by the NAACP against the Cleveland Board o f Education and the O h io Board o f Edu cation. W e have sponsored co n tin u o u s study by a responsible group o f citizens, each o f them h o ld in g positions o f p ro m in e n ce in civic and social welfare and e ducation agencies in the Cleveland area. W e have arranged fo r in fo rm e d people fro m o th e r c o m m u n itie s facing similar problem s to visit w ith us here, and have ar ranged fo r Clevelanders to visit o th e r cities at te m p tin g to respond to c o u rt orders. W e have issued grants to church organizations and e th n ic g ro u p s and n e i g h b o r h o o d o r g a n iz a t io n s sponsoring discussions o f the various ways in w h ich Cleveland m ig h t respond to the o rd e r o f the court. Perhaps no o ther Am erican city has

d evoted so m uch tim e and e ffo rt to review of the question o f school desegregation p rio r to a decision o f a case before a Federal D istrict C o u rt and p rio r to the a d o p tio n o f a remedy fo r the lia b ility d ete rm in e d by c o u rt decision. These activities, to g e the r w ith the w o r k o f the local news media in re p orting this story in c o n siderable d epth, assure a w e ll in fo rm e d general p u b lic and a leadership w e ll aware o f the expe rience o f o th e r cities facing similar situations. It w ill be interesting to note w h e th e r a serious educational e ffo rt o f this sort makes any d iffe r ence in the w ay in w h ic h a c o m m u n ity responds to a p ro b le m o f such enorm ous com plexity. O u r review o f Am erican experience in the field o f school desegregation indicates that a successful e ffo rt depends upon cooperative e n deavors by all o f the parties involved to carry o u t the m andate o f the co urt and to seek im p ro v e m e n t o f school perform ance in the p ro c ess. No one can guess h o w this w ill w o r k o u t in Cleveland, and especially p rio r to a decision by an Appeals C o u rt on a school board request fo r review o f the o rd er o f the D istrict Court.

E D U C A TIO N

" A ffirm a tiv e leadership is crucial to the achievem ent o f sch oo l desegregation in a c o m m u n ity ." U.S. Civil Rights Commission August, 1976

The same m o n th this statement was issued, a federal ju d ge in Cleveland fo u n d that the lo cal and state boards o f education had violated the constitu tion a l rights o f children " b y in te n tio na lly fostering and m a in tain in g a segregated s c h o o l system w i t h i n th e C le v e la n d p u b l i c schools." The ju d ge o rdered that desegregation begin no later than September, 1977. In the m onths before and since the c o u rt d e c i sion, there have been men and w o m e n w illin g to abandon the c o m fo rt o f silence to w o r k fo r peaceful co m p lia nc e w ith the law. They have studied o bjectiv e data and have taken the cause into churches, clubs and homes. These u n o ffi cial leaders, th r o u g h in d iv id u a l co nta cts and o rg a n iz a tio n s , have reached th o u s an d s u po n thousands o f their fe llo w men in w h a t may well be the most organized citizen outreach tow ard p ea ce fu l d e se g re g a tio n o f the schools w h ic h has occurred in any A m erican city. O n ly tim e w ill tell w h e th e r such an e ffort can prevent "a n o th e r B oston." Certainly Cleveland is p o te n tia lly as volatile as any city facing courtordered desegregation. It is peopled by blacks and by w h ite ethnics, separated, fo r the most part, by a river. W h ile the total school district e n ro llm e n t is 59 percent black (3 percent His panic and nearly 2 percent other minorities), nearly 90 percent of the children attend onerace schools. In such an e n viro n m e n t men and w o m e n of good w ill are d o in g w h a t they can. The Cleveland Foundation has funded fo u r of

these citizen efforts — the Study G ro u p on Ra cial Isolation in the Public Schools, the Greater Cleveland Project, the Bishop's C o m m itte e on School Desegregation and the Nationalities Services Center program. A total o f $136,854 was granted to the first tw o in 1975 and $140,342 to ail fo u r in 1976, w ith expanded fun d in g authorized fo r 1977. STUDY GROUP O N RACIAL ISOLATION The Study G ro up on Racial Isolation in the Pub lic Schools is a congress o f 19 representatives of key c o m m u n ity organizations. Since its incep t io n in th e s u m m e r o f 1975, th e g r o u p has progressed fro m the e xploration o f m a jo r court cases and p u b l i c re a c tio n in o t h e r c itie s — actually visiting five cities to learn abo u t deseg regation realities firsthand — to sophisticated analysis o f the various plans being subm itted to the c o u rt in Cleveland. The group, w h ic h meets every o th e r week, has been assisted by private la w y e rs a n d f o u r p ro fe s s o rs f r o m C le v e la n d State University. The Study G ro up has emerged as the co m m unity's m a jo r source fo r accurate and highquality in fo rm a tio n on school desegregation. Its materials and reports have been reprinted and w i d e l y d is t r i b u t e d as a p a r t o f th e C itiz e n s ' Council fo r O h io Schools Citizens' Guide to Desegregation and the Greater Cleveland Proj ect's Bulletin and pamphlets. M on th s before the c o u rt rendered its deci sion, the Study G ro up on Racial Isolation stim ulated lo w -p ro file discussions and conferences w ith the business, labor, media, religious, u n i versity and elected leadership o f Cleveland. It subsequently encouraged the d e v e lo p m e n t of the citizen outreach into the n eighborhoods. A d e s e g re g a tio n e x p e r t f r o m a n o t h e r c it y re c e n tly o b s e rv e d t h a t th e S tu d y G r o u p has

d e v e lo p e d th e m o s t c o m p r e h e n s iv e data on school desegregation fo u n d in any American city. A panel o f consultants led b ya distinguished Yale law professor has given the group high marks fo r its efforts, a ffirm in g its neutrality and indicating that it has an im p o rta n t role to play in e x p l a in in g and in t e r p r e t i n g even ts in th e future. GREATER CLEVELAND PROJECT The Greater Cleveland Project is an in d e p e n d en t c o a litio n of m ore than 60 c o m m u n ity and n e ig h b o rh o o d organizations striving to create a c lim a t e f o r p e a c e fu l d e s e g re g a tio n in all n e igh b orh o o ds of the city. It evolved fro m in i tial efforts by the Greater Cleveland Interchurch C o u n c il and b e c a m e f u l l y o p e r a t io n a l in the spring o f 1976. D u rin g its first year, the Greater Cleveland Project p ro vide d speakers fo r m ore than 200 c o m m u n ity meetings and distributed m o re th a n 6 5,0 00 p ie ce s o f lit e r a t u r e (som e printed in Spanish) to thousands of individuals and m ore than 180 organizations. Its "C he cklist fo r Assessing School Desegregation Plans" is being re produced nationally. The professional staff, w h ic h is expanding fro m three to six persons, is m ulti-racial and e x p e r ie n c e d in u rb a n e d u c a t i o n , le a d e rs h ip training and c o m m u n ity organization. It is c o n vinced that it has a b o u t saturated the city w ith speakers and, consequently, has moved into t r a in in g s ta ff a nd v o lu n t e e r s o f its m e m b e r organizations in h o w to c o n d u c t inform al dis cussions in n e ig h b o rh o o d homes. It also is be gin nin g to p ro v id e technical assistance to those w ishing to m o b iliz e fo r peaceful im p le m e n ta tion o f w h a te ve r desegregation plan is finally adopted by the courts. The Greater Cleveland Project, fo r example, has aided the massive in fo rm a tio n program of

the YW CA, has trained m ore than 60 nuns to w o r k in the p r e d o m i n a n t l y C a t h o lic , w h i t e w o rk in g class n eighborhoods of the West Side, and is helping the N e ig h b o rh o o d Centers Asso ciation plan fo r pairing 1,000 black and w h ite children for get-acquainted activities this c o m ing summer. Reaching into neighborhoods has an almost invisible quality about it. It doesn't get into the n e w s p a p e rs . B ut GCP's w o r k w i t h M e r r i c k House is illustrative o f the q uiet ripple effect that the Greater Cleveland Project can create. M e rric k House is a settlement house in the d e pressed, p re d o m in a n tly w h ite T rem ont-C larkFulton area, the type o f c o m m u n ity w h ic h could becom e explosive once school buses begin to roll. M e r r i c k H o u se in v it e d GCP to c o n d u c t a training w o rks h o p fo r its board in the summer o f 1976. Subsequently the settlement house as signed its assistant director, w ith the help o f an undergraduate intern fro m Case Western Re serve University, to begin gathering the names o f residents w h o m ig h t be receptive to a ra tional discussion o f school desegration. Since then residents in groups of 10 or less have gathered in living rooms and around d in ing room tables to talk about the co urt decision, the various desegregation plans being p ro posed, and their reaction to all that is h appen ing. As in oth e r parts of the city, parents in this c o m m u n ity most often express fear abo u t the safety o f their children. Next, they express c o n cern that the quality o f education w ill be d im in ished. However, when few showed up fo r a much publicized meeting on q uality education, M e rric k House leaders co ncluded that concern over q uality education was merely a p o lite way o f saying: " I d o n 't w a n t my children bused." W h ile discussions often begin heatedly, there

appears to be a g ro w in g band o f parents w illin g to accept the realities o f a c o u rt o rd er and to c o m p ly w ith w hatever school desegregation plan emerges. M e a n w h ile , M e rric k House is p u ttin g to g e th er a small c o m m u n ity su pp o rt group com posed o f area ministers and organizational leaders w h o plan to fo rm w e lc o m in g com m ittees and to pro vide m o n itors on school buses and in the streets once desegregation begins. The settle m e n t house recently invited principals fro m nearby schools to a bra insto rm ing session and, undaunted that o n ly one show ed up, w ill try again. It also is pla nn in g a sum m er cultural ex change w ith y o uth fro m a black n e ig h b orh o o d. C A TH O L IC A C T IO N Even before the federal c o u rt issued its d e ci sion, the C atholic Bishop o f Cleveland firm ly a nnounced that the parochial schools w o u ld n ot become a haven fo r children fleeing deseg regation— a significant stance in a heavily Cath o lic city w h e re the o ve rw h e lm in g m a jo rity of C atholic pupils are in the p u b lic schools. Since last O ctob e r, the Bishop's C o m m itte e on School Desegregation has p rovided training fo r m ore than 60 nuns and 50 priests and pas toral ministers to foster equal and quality e du cational o p p o rtu n itie s fo r all children. The co m m itte e has p roduced a 21-m inute slide and tape show entitled Desegregation: Cleveland Challenge 1977 w h ic h is addressed to "p e o p le o f fa ith ." The presentation is being used n ot only fo r Catholic audiences but also fo r Lutheran and Episcopal ones and, in m o d i fied form , by the City C o m m u n ity Relations Board, the Cleveland Public Library and the Federation fo r C o m m u n ity Planning. The show is a discussion opener, closing w ith a slide w h ic h invites its viewers " t o talk." 1 0

The Bishop's C o m m itte e also has d eve lo p e d a loose-leaf h an d b o o k fo r parishes w h ic h in cludes n ot only constantly updated in fo rm a tio n b u t also s a m p le s e rm o n s f o r p r ie s t a n d lay preachers. A fte r the desegregation plan is an nounced, the c o m m itte e plans to m o b iliz e its faith fu l fo r peaceful and p ro d u c tiv e im p le m e n tation o f the plan. REACHING ETHNICS Just as the C atholic Church is reaching o u t to its constituency, the N ationalities Services Cen ter is beg in n ing to spread in fo rm a tio n and rein force respect fo r the law a m ong the city's very large fo re ig n -b o rn p o p u la tio n and its descen dants. Recent im m igrants include many young families w ith c h ild re n in the p u b lic schools—people w h o came to this c o u n try to escape in justices and w h o w a n t to becom e good citizens but, center leaders believe, may be confused by the reactions o f some o f th e ir neighbors. The Nationalities Services C e n te r has spon sored several meetings in recent weeks in vo lv ing 18 d iffe re n t natonalities. Invitations have been issued along n e ig h b o rh o o d rather than straight ethnic lines. The first m ee ting fo r the C o llin w o o d -M u rra y H ill- N o r w o o d area, fo r ex ample, in cluded Lithuanians, Slovenians and Ita lia n s , w h i l e c o n t a c t was k e p t w i t h b la c k neighbors attending separate meetings spon sored by black organizations. The center's d irector, w h o is a representative to both the Study G ro up on Racial Isolation and the Greater Cleveland Project, also is searching for ethnic leaders w h o w ill be w illin g to serve as peacemakers if resistance to desegregation erupts. As September, 1977 draws nearer, individuals w o rk in g w ith the ethnics, blacks, Catholics and the broader c o m m u n ity have observed that

both black and w h ite parents w a n t to meet faceto-face to share the ir concerns w ith one an other, and they appear grateful and relieved that som eone has fin a lly opened up the o p p o r tu n ity fo r them to participate in some way in the pla nn in g w h ic h is taking place. CLEVELAND HEIGHTS-UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS This close-in suburban school district has been experiencing an influx o f black residents during the last several years. Efforts to ease resulting tensions have been c o m p lica te d by d iffering perceptions in its tw o separate cities and by the educational expectations o f both newcomers and the original p o p u la tio n , w h ic h is heavily Jewish and includes many professors, physi cians, musicians and artists w h o like to live near University Circle. F o llo w in g an explosive year at Heights High, in ru m o r as w e ll as in fact, the school system created a s c h o o l-c o m m u n ity relations program aimed at in v o lvin g the p u b lic m ore closely in the schools. D u rin g the 1976-77 year, citizen cadres w ere fo rm e d in each o f the 11 ele m en tary schools. A ru m o r co n tro l n e tw o rk was p ut in t o p la c e . A " s c h o o l i n e " was c re a te d and staffed to give citizens a place to call fo r answers to the ir questions and concerns. The program has stim ulated greatly expanded after-school use o f school buildings by both parents and children, and has p ro vide d technical assistance to com m ittees and w o rk s h o p participants ex p lo rin g ways to v o lu n ta rily correct the racial imbalance w h ic h has developed in the school system, n o w o n e -th ird black in enrollm ent. A t Heights High a n u m b e r o f learning alter natives have been created to meet the diverse needs o f the 2,800 students in grades 10 through 12. These in clu de a variety o f minicourses, sev eral w o rk -s tu d y programs, a new vocational

w in g , an in d ep e nd e nt study tutorial program, and tw o “ co m m u n ities o f learners" w h ic h p r o vide an unstructured e nviro n m e n t in w h ich highly m otivated students help select their o w n faculty, w rite the ir o w n courses and use the c o m m u n ity as a laboratory. A third " c o m m u n ity of learners" was estab lished in 1976-77. This one created a highly structured e n viro n m e n t fo r students w h o were underachieving or failing as they entered the 11th grade. A faculty of five, assisted by tw o graduate interns fro m Indiana University, struc tured counseling and learning experiences in English, history, social studies, math and science fo r the group. O f the 125 students accepted into the program, 108 participated th ro u g h o u t the year. Several others elected to remain w ith the rest o f the ir class and a half-dozen or so dro pp e d o u t or w e n t into the military.

N O N T R A D IT IO N A L HIGHER E D U C A TIO N As higher education costs accelerate and the pool o f tra dition a l students, 18 to 22 years old, declines, the Foundation is d e vo tin g funds to the study o f im p o rta n t p o lic y issues and the o p e n in g o f o p p o r t u n i t i e s f o r n o n t r a d i t i o n a l students and life tim e learners.

HEALTH

HEALTH O n e o f the most pressing needs in A m erica tod a y is to p ro vid e all p eople w ith access to d e c e n t m e d ic a l ca re w h i l e k e e p in g costs in check throu g h m ore efficien t use o f health m an p o w e r and facilities. The so lu tion revolves not solely around the controversial issue o f w h o pays the bill — the private o r p u b lic sector — b u t w h e th e r there develops a system fo r d e liv e r ing health care w h ic h assures that a patient can m ove fro m solo p ra c titio n e r fo r ro u tine a il ments to specialized intensive care teams in times o f crisis. Since 1974 The Cleveland Foundation has sought to lin k practitioners, clinics, laboratories, hospitals and the health training schools into regional delivery systems serving Greater Cleve land and, in some cases, all o f N orthern O hio. The m a jo r thrust has been in maternal and child care and is just b eginning to move into am b ula tory care fo r the entire family. The reason fo r the Foundation's involvem ent in these areas is th re e fo ld : • National studies indicate that children are the short-changed group in American medical prac tice. They are less likely to receive care and, w h e n they do, the care is less likely to be of as high q ua lity or effectiveness as that provided o th e r age groups. This is especially so if the ch ild re n happen to be p o o r or minorities. • In v e s tm e n ts in m a te rn a l and c h ild h e a lth , genetics, am b ula to ry care and, to a certain ex tent, child abuse programs are preventive in nature. W h e n successful, they reduce the need fo r costly medical care and institutionalization in the future. • Local talent, both in the Case Western Reserve University medical com plex and in c o m m u n ity settings, is outstanding and highly com p etitive nationally.

BIRTHS AT RISK The keystone o f c o m m u n ity w id e im p ro v e m e n t in the care o f pregnant w o m e n and the ir babies is the d e v e lo p m e n t o f the Cleveland Regional Perinatal N e tw o rk. The n e tw o rk helps o b ste tri cians and fa m ily physicians id e n tify as early as possible those pregnancies likely to result in miscarriages, still births and infants born w ith problem s leading to mental retardation, respira tory failure and o th e r serious maladies. The program links physicians and the ir patients to laboratory tests and m o n ito rin g e q u ip m e n t to help d eterm ine the p ro b le m and most advan tageous tim e fo r delivery, to specialists w h o can p ro vide emergency treatm ent and, when necessary, to the Perinatal Centers at the tw o teaching hospitals — University and Cleveland M e tro p o lita n G e n e ra l— w h e re infants at high risk can be taken im m ed ia tely fro m the w o m b into an intensive care nursery w h e re life su pport is pro vide d a ro u n d -th e -clo ck by special e q u ip ment and staff. A crucial c o m p o n e n t o f the n e tw o rk is a c o m puterized in fo rm a tio n system w h ic h in cludes 10 d iffe re n t check lists on the health of the m o th e r and her infant — fro m the pregnant w om an's second visit to her d o c to r throu g h the infant's first year after discharge fro m the hos pital. The u nifo rm record system is n o w being used by seven hospitals, 17 o u tp a tie n t clinics and 80 private physicians in the ir offices as well as by fu ll-tim e staff physicians in the hospitals. As a result, m ore than 60 percent o f the some 23,000 pregnancies and births handled each year in Cuyahoga C ounty are n o w m o n ito re d as a part o f the network. It is anticipated that 80 per cent w ill be in the system w ith in a few months. In add itio n to the principal teaching hospi tals, the five c o m m u n ity hospitals w h ich have already im p le m e n te d the inform a tion system

are Mt. Sinai, Kaiser, Fairview General, St. Luke's, and Booth M e m o ria l hospitals. Some p ro b le m pregnancies are n o t detected until the expectant m o th e r enters the hospital and, consequently, the n e tw o rk has developed an emergency transport system to transfer the m ost critical cases fro m the c o m m u n ity hospi tal to the Perinatal Center at e ith e r University or M e tro p o lita n General hospitals. Because m in utes can make a diffe re n ce as to w h e th e r an in fant survives and thrives, ambulances are now transporting w o m e n d u rin g labor rather than w a itin g to m ove the babies after delivery. The Cleveland Foundation has devoted both financial and staff assistance to the regional perinatal co n c e p t since 1974. It has w o rke d closely w ith the Robert W o o d Johnson Founda tion — the nation's largest fo u n d a tio n w o rk in g exclusively in the health fie ld — w h ich subse q ue n tly p ro v id e d Case Western Reserve medical school w ith m a jo r fu n d in g to oversee creation o f the regional n e tw o rk fo r Cuyahoga County. D u rin g 1976 the staff m o n ito re d im p le m e n ta tion o f an earlier Cleveland Foundation grant to Fairview General Hospital w h e re 4,200 babies are delivered annually. The grant has enabled the hospital to handle some o f the m ore d iffi cult cases by b rin ging its intensive care u nit for new bo rn infants up to n ationally recom m ended standards. The staff also w o rk e d closely w ith o ther c o m m u n ity hospitals expected to receive grants during 1977 to im p le m e n t th e ir p artici pation in the perinatal in fo rm a tio n system. REGIONAL GENETICS CENTER A m o n g the $1,914,361 auth orize d by the Dis trib u tio n C o m m itte e fo r health programs d uring 1976, the largest single grant o f $350,000 w e n t to the School o f M e d icin e at Case W estern Re serve University to develop a regional genetics

program fo r Northeast O hio. The new program com p lem en ts and enlarges the scope o f the perinatal n e tw o rk since most high-risk pregnancies involve problem s w h ic h are hereditary in origin. The new program was nurtured by a planning grant in 1975 and is an o u tg ro w th o f earlier fo u n d a tio n support o f u n i versity genetic diagnostic and counseling clinics at Cleveland M e tro p o lita n General and U n ive r sity hospitals. The counseling experience d re w attention to the lack of k n ow led g e a bo u t ge netic screening and tre atm e n t by the general p u b lic and the medical profession and the frag mentary way in w h ic h the health care delivery system deals w ith genetic defects in children — defects w h ic h often play havoc w ith the e m o tional health o f the entire family. A m o n g the best k n o w n o f genetic maladies are D o w n 's syndrom e (or M o n g o lo id is m ), sickle cell anemia am ong blacks, and Tay Sachs dis ease, a fatal degenerative disease afflicting Jewish males o f Eastern European extraction, as well as m ore c o m m o n d ia be tic and coronary problems. W h ile the grant is to be expended over a three-year period , the new Regional Genetics Center has made considerable progress since its in ce ptio n in July, 1976. It has achieved the fo llo w in g : • E d u c a tio n — The Center has sponsored a post graduate course fo r obstetricians, pediatricians and fam ily practitioners taught by distinguished v is it in g p ro fe s s o rs as w e ll as m e d ic a l s c h o o l staff; a w o rk s h o p fo r inner-city nurses and social w o rke rs; w e e kly seminars fo r faculty and in te r ested professionals, and m ore than 25 educa tional presentations th ro u g h o u t the c o m m u n ity on topics ranging fro m the psychological effects o f a defective ch ild on the fam ily to rehabilita tio n service fo r cleft palate.

• Outreach — The Center has helped establish and service genetics clinics at Children's Hos pital in A kro n and fo r the Rehabilitation Service o f N orth Central O h io in Mansfield, and Tay Sachs screening programs at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Cleveland and at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Youngstown. • L a b o ra to rie s — There continues to be a sig nificant increase in laboratory testing at M e t r o p o lit a n G e n e ra l and U n iv e r s it y h o s p ita ls , especially in chrom osom e analysis and alphafeto protein tests p erform ed on a m n iotic fluid taken fro m the w o m b o f the expectant mother. The grant has enabled the Genetics Center to purchase special e q u ip m e n t to im prove its test ing services. • Counseling — A central office has been cre ated fo r the tw o diagnostic and counseling clinics. The grant has enabled the e m p lo ym e n t o f three fu ll-tim e professionals trained in patient intake, medical history evaluation, social serv ices, f a m ily h is t o r y t a k in g and f o l l o w - u p activities. • E v a lu a tio n and M o n i t o r i n g — A s y s te m a tic data collection system is being developed w h ic h w ill enable evaluation of the effectiveness of patient care, and an advisory c o m m itte e is be ing form e d w h ich w ill be composed o f both health care providers and consumers th ro u g h o u t Northeast O hio. EMERGENCY A N D INTENSIVE CARE FOR CHILDREN A N D YOUTH A ccidents and suicides remain the largest cause o f death fo r children and youth. The m o to r car is the No. 1 killer and maimer. But poisons and burns also take the ir toll, especially among small children, as motorcycles and self-inflicted w o u nd s do among preadolescents and teen agers. The crisis illnesses o f ch ild h o o d most

HEALTH fre q u e n tly involve acute infections and obstru c tions to breathing, w h e th e r caused by the croup or by bits o f fo o d or pebbles getting lodged in the w in d p ip e . W h ile the last ten years have seen extensive d e v e lo p m e n t o f emergency and intensive care fo r adults w ith coronary and o th e r medical problems, relatively less investm ent has been made in handling these c h ild h o o d problems. Children are dying or suffering brain damage or perm anent d isfigurem ent because o f inade quate emergency room care or insufficient re ferral to app ro p ria te personnel, e q u ip m e n t and facilities to meet the ir special intensive care needs. In December, 1976 the D is trib u tio n C o m m it tee made a planning grant to Case Western Reserve medical school to d evelop a n e tw o rk o f pediatric emergency care fo r Northeast O hio. O ne o f the first activities w ill be to develop emergency room procedures fo r handling the crises described above. In the case o f m o to r car victims, fo r example, emergency room per sonnel must k n o w n ot only h o w to reduce trauma in children b ut that fractures may re quire special handling because children's bones and tissues are still growing. Emergency room staff and ambulance drivers are learning where to send children w ith special needs, such as fire victims to the burn center at M e tro p o lita n General. As a part o f its interest in pediatric crisis care, the Foundation also made a challenge grant for creation at Rainbow Babies and Childrens Hos pital o f a pediatric intensive care facility to serve the entire Northeastern O h io region. A M BULATO RY CARE As one considers h o w to im prove the organiza tio n o f health care fo r all Americans, it becomes 2 0

apparent that the emphasis m ust sh ift fro m treatm ent o f advanced illness, w h ic h is usually accom panied by expensive h o sp ita liza tion , to the m ore cost effective p re v e n tio n o f illness and maintenance o f health. Recognizing this need, a $55,415 grant was made to Case Western Reserve m edical school in late 1976 to e m p lo y an a m b u la to ry care d ire c to r to begin pla nn in g a system fo r Cuyahoga County. The new d ire ctor, an associate dean w h o previously im p le m e n te d such a system for child re n in upper M anhattan o f N e w York City, has begun surveying the resources w h ic h exist in Greater Cleveland. This is an essential step before designing linkages between physicians, social workers, nutritionists, mental health spe cialists, educators, and city clinics and hospital o u tp a tie n t departments. A t the m o m e n t there is n ot adequate data to d ete rm ine w h e re physicians practice, w h a t kinds o f practices they have o r the tim e and distance it takes patients to see them, n o r is there ade quate data to indicate w h y so many parents no longer innoculate the ir ch ild re n against such serious illnesses as p o lio and measles. There are indications that the schools o f this m e tro po lita n area could do much m ore to teach lifetim e health habits to children w h ile physicians and clinics could be more e xplicit in the directions they give concerning m edication. The new am bulatory care d ire c to r also is p ro vid in g assistance to specific projects: the dental fee pro ble m o f the group practice o f the n o n p ro fit G lenville Health Association; the separa tion o f the o u tp a tie n t clin ic fro m University Hospitals in such a way that all patients w ill be treated as private patients, even w h e n the ir services are paid by M edicare o r M e d ic a id ; and the d eve lo p m en t of fam ily practice departm ents at M e t r o p o l i t a n G e n e r a l a n d U n i v e r s i t y

hospitals. THE AMBULANCE RIDE A ll a m b u la n c e s and h o s p ita ls in C u y a h o g a C o u nty are linked by te le p h o n e and radio into a single emergency co m m u n ic atio n s system kn o w n as CMED. Every day CMED handles a b o u t 200 te lep h on e calls, each answered by a certified medical technician w h o seeks enough in fo rm a tio n to dispatch the nearest ambulance to the scene of an accident o r the hom e or office o f a vic tim o f heart attack, stroke or oth e r medical emergency. W h ile the patient is in transit, ambulance technicians may be receiving instructions from physicians or hospital personnel and may be in fo rm in g the receiving room as to w h a t e q u ip ment and care should be ready fo r the patient's arrival. If the hospital is full, CMED knows where to d ive rt the patient to a facility w ith space. O r if the hospital lacks b lo o d o r special drugs, CMED w ill locate the m edicatio n and speed it to the patient. CMED also has voice linkages w ith PEERS, the Psychiatric Emergency and Evaluation Referral System, fo r ro u n d -th e -c lo c k counseling fo r per sons threatening suicide, and w ith the American Red Cross fo r severe w e a th e r warnings and d i saster procedures. A grant fro m The Cleveland Foundation kept this m o d el am bulance dispatch system alive d u rin g a six-m onth interim fro m the tim e start up fu n d in g fro m the Robert W o o d Johnson Foundation expired and the Board o f County Commissioners decided to assume the costs for the system. W HEN ELDERLY LEAVE THE HOSPITAL W h e n in n er-city senior citizens are discharged fro m the hospital, they often are too weak to

live alone, yet neither need nor can afford nurs ing hom e care. Therefore, St. V in ce n t Charity Hospital has developed a unique program in w h ic h healthy inner-city residents, preferably senior citizens themselves, take patients into their hom e fo r a convalescent period o f one to three weeks. This program is believed to be the o n ly p r o j ect of its kind in the co un try and has received hopeful inquiries fro m N ew York to California. It is still full of promise, but has proved much more d iffic u lt to im p le m e n t than originally anticipated. It to o k a full seven months fro m the tim e St. V in cen t staff started lo o kin g fo r foster homes to the pla cem ent of the first patient — a cancer victim in her late sixties. The program has had to overcom e reluc tances rooted in fear — the reluctance o f innercity residents to w e lco m e strangers into their homes, the reluctance of insurance companies to provide lia b ility coverage at less than slum rates, and the reluctance of inner-city patients to leave their homes or apartments unguarded any longer than necessary. The foster hom e care program is being sup ported by a three-year grant of $104,753 and includes a substantial c o m p o n e n t fo r research and evaluation. If it succeeds it could become an im p o rta n t model fo r the nation.

SOCIAL SERVICES

SO CIAL SERVICES

Few c o m m u n i t i e s in A m e r ic a , if any, have d eve lo p ed a systems approach fo r deliverin g social services to the p ub lic. O n e o f the m ajor reasons fo r this s h o rtco m in g has been the lack o f c o o rd in a tio n at the federal level arising from the p ro b le m -b y -p ro b le m response o f Congress to such varied personal concerns as aging, child care, crime, drug abuse and mental health. State and local agencies — b oth p u b lic and private — have been so busy scram bling after the greatly in c re a s e d fe d e ra l d o lla r s t h a t th e y have e x panded and adapted the ir mission in to a crazy q u ilt o f d u p lica tin g and o ve rlap p in g services w h ile o th e r needs have gone unmet. As T he C le v e la n d F o u n d a t io n a u t h o r iz e d $3,126,394 to social service endeavors d u rin g 1976, it co ntin u ed to use its lim ite d resources to foster co o rd in a tio n , efficiency and im agina tio n on the local scene. It supported new efforts to p ro vide ro u n d -th e -c lo c k assistance to people in tim e o f crisis and to im p le m e n t re co m m e n dations o f its citizens c o m m itte e on crim inal justice. It p ro vide d su p p o rt fo r the task force w h ic h was c o m p le t in g its s tu d y o f ways f o r U nited Torch Services to strengthen the process fo r d istrib u tin g vo lu n ta rily raised c o m m u n ity dollars fo r health and social services. A nd in the p o t e n t i a l l y m o s t s ig n if ic a n t a c t i v it y o f a ll, it u n d e rw ro te creation o f a daring strategy fo r restructuring the delivery o f all personal social services in Cuyahoga C o u nty — both p u b lic and p r iv a t e — in t o a c o o r d in a t e d system w h ic h could becom e an im p o rta n t model fo r the rest o f the country.

hoga C o u nty d u rin g 1976: • O ne in nine persons was over 65 years o f age. • O ne in tw o marriages was e n d in g in divorce. • Four in ten w o m e n w e re e m p lo y e d fu ll time. • M o re than 500 cases o f c h ild abuse w ere re ported. • M o re than 300 cases o f runaw ay y o uth were reported. Clearly there are many e ld e rly w h o need a variety o f hom em aker, n u tritio n a l and recrea tional services if they are to co n tin u e to live at hom e and remain in d ependent. There are many families w h ic h need guidance in times o f m ari tal c o n flic t and divorce. There are many w o r k ing m others w ith pre-school children w h o need c h i l d c a r e a r r a n g e m e n t s . T h e r e a re m a n y families and individuals w h o need supportive services fo r alcoholics and d rug users and for persons w h o are otherw ise physically, e m o tio n ally or m en ta lly handicaped. W h ile there are many excellent p u b lic and volu nta ry social service agencies in Cuyahoga County, the overall service is fragmentary. Some sections o f the co u n ty o ffe r m any services. O t h ers have none. Some agencies make access very simple by being responsive to clients, p ro vid in g i n f o r m a t i o n , re fe r ra l a n d f o l l o w - u p . O t h e r agencies offer very specialized services and are n ot equ ip p ed to help clients w h o have other needs or do not meet e lig ib ility standards. Since there is no c o u n ty w id e system, there is no way o f k n o w in g the n u m b e r o f p e o p le w h o are ef fectively served, p o o rly served o r never served at all.

T O W A R D A C O U N TY DELIVERY SYSTEM — N O T FOR THE POOR ALONE The g ro w in g need fo r social services among all segments o f the p op u la tio n — n ot just the p oo r — is clearly indicated by the fact that in Cuya

These conclusions w e re expressed in a re cent report to the Board o f C o u nty C o m m is sioners fro m its A d Hoc C o m m itte e on Public Social Services. The co m m itte e, com posed o f local social service leaders, spent six m onths developing a proposal fo r creation o f a c o o rd i-

n a te d d e l iv e r y system f o r all o f C u y a h o g a County. It was assisted by a distinguished social w o r k professor fro m C o lu m b ia University, an international expert whose p h ilo so p h y is sum marized in the title of one of his books, N o t for the Poor Alo ne. The expert d re w upon his five years o f research into the delivery o f social serv ices in the U nited States and nine o th e r c o u n tries in presenting pla nn in g concepts to the co m m itte e and to co un ty officials. The c o m m it tee also was p ro vide d technical expertise by professors fro m Case Western Reserve U n ive r sity and staff o f the C o u nty W elfare Departm ent. The Board o f C ounty Commissioners n o w is seeking w id e p u b lic reaction to the re co m m e n dations o f the co m m itte e. These re co m m e nd a tions call for: • A re a S ocial S e rvic e C e n te rs — T he c o u n t y should develop and adm inister social service centers in all geographic areas o f the county, these centers to be open to any citizen regard less o f p ro b le m , in co m e o r o th e r e lig ib ility fac tor. Trained social w o rkers in the area centers w o u ld assess needs, p ro vide crisis intervention, connect p e o p le to specialized services and p r o vide o n g o in g service fo r some. W orkers in the centers w o u ld be responsible n ot o n ly fo r in d i viduals living in the area b u t also w o u ld have relationships w ith area institutions such as hos pitals, schools and nursing homes. • U nified C o u nty A d m in is tra tio n — The co un ty w o u ld create a co u n ty adm inistrative office fo r social services to p ro vide overall planning, o p eration su p p o rt and a c cou n ta b ility fo r the area centers. • P u b lic - V o lu n t a r y P a r tn e rs h ip — W h i l e th e county's area centers w o u ld p ro vide many core services n o w p ro vid e d by a variety of agencies, there w o u ld be an anticipated increase in d e mand fo r specialized services p rovided by v o l

untary agencies, often on a contract basis. The plan addresses the increasing interest am ong social welfare, political and civic lead ers to create a m ore effective system o f social services t h a t c a p ita liz e s u p o n th e s p ecial strengths of both the p u b lic and volu nta ry sec tors. The payoffs could be tremendous. The p ro posed delivery system could enable o p tim u m use o f the talent in the co m m u n ity's excellent private and p u b lic social service agencies and o f th e m il lio n s o f so c ia l s e rvic e d o lla r s e x pended annually in Cuyahoga County. It could mean that many people w h o n o w do not kn o w w h e r e to t u r n f o r h e lp o r w h o have been thw arted in trying to understand the c o m p li cated requirements of diffe re n t agencies w o u ld have an o p p o rtu n ity to reach those w h o can assist them in tim e o f personal need. The Cleveland Foundation co n trib u te d $47,014 fo r the consultants and technical assistance for the w o rk o f the ad hoc c o m m itte e and the county. UNITED TORCH PRIORITIES Near the end o f 1976 an in d ep e nd e nt c o m m it tee of leading citizens c om pleted a two-year study o f ways to im p ro ve the allocation of the vast sums raised each year by United Torch for some 160 voluntary health and social service agencies. In G re a te r C le v e la n d — the h o m e to w n o f the united giving c o n c e p t— individuals and co rp oratio n co n trib u te d $27.6 m illio n to U nited Torch Services in 1976, the highest per capita giving in America. The Allocations Guidelines Project re co m m ended new procedures w h ic h have been ac cepted in p rin cip le by the board o f UTS w h ich is b e g in n in g to i m p le m e n t m a n y o f th e m . U nited Torch has appo in te d a 36-m em ber Pri

orities D e te rm in a tio n C o m m itte e and has re structured its panels to review agencies in terms o f the services they render rather than in terms o f the ir straight budgetary requests as in the past. It also is e xp e rim en tin g w ith models fo r assessing service effectiveness and fo r revising financial accountability. A m a jo r issue yet to be resolved is w h e th e r changes w ill be made in the special arrange m e n ts — in some cases, fixed percentages o f total c o n trib u tio n s raised — agreed upon w h e n m a jo r agencies jo in e d the united appeal a n u m ber o f years ago. These agencies include the American Cancer Society, the Am erican Heart Association, the A m erican Red Cross, C atholic Charities, the Federation fo r C o m m u n ity Plan ning, the Health Fund and the Jewish C o m m u nity Federation. The Foundation co n trib u te d $226,020 to the p ro ject over tw o years, matched by in -kin d staff services fro m UTS and the Federation fo r C o m m u n ity Planning. IN TIMES OF PERSONAL CRISIS The b r e a d w in n e r w h o has lo s t his j o b a nd threatens suicide. The lonely w id o w w h o has slashed her wrists and then regrets it. The y o uth w h o has taken an overdose of drugs. The o v e r w o rke d executive w h o cannot cope w ith busi ness c o m p e titio n and is falling apart. The w o man w h o has been abducted and raped. The battered w ife w h o has fled the home. There are thousands such individuals in crisis in Greater Cleveland each year. Some are living lives o f q uiet desperation, w ith d ra w in g fro m contact w ith oth e r hum an beings. Some are crying o u t fo r help throu g h aggression against others. Some are caught unawares. Some have been c o n te m p la tin g suicide fo r a lo ng tim e, and finally try it. W h e n the m o m e n t o f crisis comes,

there may be o n ly a fe w minutes o r a few hours in w h ic h ano the r human being can p ro vide the e m p a th y or reassurance or medical a ttention needed to halt a loss of life o r connect a person w ith the counseling or m e d icatio n that may brin g him back to a socially accepted level of behavior. Such crises are n ot co nfin e d to the 9-to-5 w o rkd ay. They are as likely to occur at m id n ig h t as at noon. Consequently, fo r the past tw o years a great deal of tim e and energy has been spent by the City o f Cleveland, the County Mental Health and Retardation Board, the area mental health centers, the Psychiatric Emergency and Referral Service (PEERS) and the Crisis Inter ve n tio n Team, Inc., in establishing a 24-hour c o u n ty w id e emergency phone and face-to-face crisis interven tio n service. W h ile such a service n orm a lly is the respon sib ility of county governm ent, im p le m e n ta tio n was held up fo r lack o f adequate state a p p ro priations. Therefore, the Foundation provided start-up su pp o rt fo r tw o key com ponents later to be fun d ed by government. The first was a grant to PEERS w h ic h enabled the p ho n e service to becom e operational in January, 1977. The grant funded the e m p lo y m e n t o f professional staff at night and on w e e k ends to answer the phones w ith crisis assess ment, counseling and referral. The service ties in n ot o n ly to mental health centers but also to hospitals and CMED, the c o u n ty w id e em er gency am bulance system. Cleveland has there fore becom e the first large m e tro p o lita n area in the c o u n try to have such psychiatric-medical transport cooperation. PEERS, fo rm e rly k n ow n as the Suicide Pre vention Center, handles about 4,000 cases a year — 60 percent o f them suicidal. In addition to answering its o w n seven telep h on e lines, it

also takes after-hours calls fo r the Crisis In te r ventio n Team, the West Side M ental Health Center, C o m m u n ity Guidance and Hum an Serv ices, the G le nville M ental Health Center and the M u rtis H. Taylor Multi-Services Center. This service is p e rfo rm e d on a shared-staff, sharedcost basis. The second c o m p o n e n t was a grant to p ro vide after-hours professional staff so the Crisis Intervention Team co uld p ro vide face-to-face counseling around the clock. This was essential to crisis service because CIT covers the 60 per cent of the county's residents living outside the areas served by Cleveland's three mental health centers, handling m ore than 4,000 cases d u rin g 1976. Its staff counsels n o t o n ly in the office but goes to homes, motels, police stations and hos p itals— w h erever people are in crisis. The incidence of crises has increased signifi cantly w ith the release o f many persons fro m state psychiatric hospitals. Because some fo rm e r mental patients feel more co m fo rta b le in a less structured environ m e n t, the Foundation c o n tin ued second-year fu n d in g to a w a lk -in center kn ow n as Project Renaissance operated by the Legal A id Society o f Cleveland. The Foundation also supported crisis in te r vention services w h ich dovetail w ith its interest in programs dealing w ith w o m e n and crim inal justice. A grant was made to create the Rape Crisis Center, whose staff and volunteers ac com pany rape victims to the hospital, help as sure that evidence needed fo r prosecution is gathered by the police, and p ro vide counseling over tim e to ease the to rm e n t w h ic h often comes in the wake of such an em otional experi ence. It also supported W o m e n Together, Inc., in o pening an e ig ht-b e droo m house to provide emergency shelter fo r battered wives and c h il dren seeking to escape the vio lence in flicted by

the men in th e ir lives. Early in 1976 the Foundation's citizens c o m m ittee on crim inal ju stice noted the lack of emergency shelter and counseling fo r runaway youth in Greater Cleveland. The Free M edical Clinic, a private agency w h ic h is contacted by abo u t 400 runaway y o uth a year, m ost between the ages of 12 and 18, responded by o p e n in g a Safe Space Station. A Cleveland Foundation grant o f $75,000 su pp o rted creation o f Safe Space Station, w h ic h provides n o t only em e r gency housing b ut also operates a telephone hot line, health care, and in d ivid ua l and fam ily counseling fo r runaways.

The F o un d atio n , the re fo re , has w o rk e d w ith p u b lic o fficia ls as w e ll as supp o rted the in itia tive s o f c itiz e n p a rtic ip a tio n groups seeking to co n tro l th e ir o w n destiny. Such a d e m o cra tic process is n o t always tid y, yet there have em erged m u tu a lly acceptable strategies fo r re vita lizin g and enha ncing life in C leveland's n e ig h b o r hoods, its d o w n to w n and along its la kefront. D u rin g 1976 th e D is t r ib u t io n C o m m itte e a u th o riz e d $1,371,868 in civic affairs grants fo r such c o n tin u in g concerns as re h a b ilita tio n o f n e ig h b o rh o o d housing, reclam ation o f parks, im p ro v e m e n t in p u b lic tra nsp o rtatio n , safer streets and m ore e ffective crim in a l justice, and respect fo r the law in such sensitive areas as open housing. The Foundation supported an im p o rta n t d e m o n stra tio n p ro je c t dealing w ith rent subsidies fo r the p o o r w h ich may u ltim a te ly in flu en ce national housing p o lic y w h ile its grants to n e ig h b o rh o o d organizations, such as Friends o f Shaker Square, are p ro v id in g te ch nical expertise needed to make the m ost o f c o m m u n ity d e ve lo p m e n t funds set aside by the c ity fo r reviving residential com m ercial districts. SHAKER SQUARE A N D N E IG H B O R H O O D COMMERCE Shaker Square once was one o f the most elegant s h op p in g centers in the nation. Its grassy spaces w e re canopied by arching elm trees and its stately red b rick b uilding s o f G eorgian a rch i tectu re housed shops catering to d iscrim in a tin g tastes. A fte r nearly 50 years the Square has run

d o w n . M o st o f its elms have d ie d, its sidewalks are cru m b lin g , its p a in t trim is peeling, and some o f its storefro n ts are vacant o r o ffe rin g sm all-change services. Even part o f the w h ite ra iling atop the Square's m a jo r restaurant has fallen away and n o t been replaced. W h ile lo c a te d e n tir e ly w it h in th e c ity o f C leveland, Shaker Square serves as gateway to one o f the area's finest suburbs, Shaker Heights, w h ich has accepted m a tu rity and in teg ra tio n w ith grace. Furtherm ore, it is rim m ed by a h e a vy c o n c e n tr a tio n o f s p a c io u s y e t a g in g apartm ents. C onsequently, the Square's v ia b il ity is im p o rta n t to the s ta b ility o f b oth the city and suburban n eig h b o rh o o d s w h ich b o rd e r it. Its merchants, like small businessmen m ost places, have n ot been in a p o sitio n to create an overall strategy fo r re vita lizin g the entire busi ness district. Yet Shaker Square still has fin e shops and neighbors w h o care. In M arch, 1976 a bo u t 700 citizens— some as ind ivid ua ls, others as representatives o f a bo u t 20 area organizations convened to fo rm Friends o f Shaker Square. S ince th e n h u n d re d s have p a r tic ip a te d in p ro fessionally-run w orkshops, p ro b in g w h a t they w o u ld like to see happen at the Square, or have served on task forces dealing w ith secur ity, tra ffic congestion, parking, b e a u tifica tio n , activities and co m m ercial mix. T heir ideas w ere translated in to architectural sketches w h ich , after reaction fro m the c iti zenry, w ere refined in to an action plan. The plan was received enthusiastically w hen it was unveiled at the first annual m eeting o f Friends o f Shaker Square in A p ril, 1977. A d iffe re n t kind o f Shaker Square is in the w in d — m ore live ly than elegant, w here jeans w ill be m arketed as w e ll as gems, and w here o u td o o r d in in g , art shows and live m usic may encourage people gathering a la Toronto.

The c ity o f Cleveland has agreed to p la n t new shade trees and is expected to help w ith such p u b lic im p ro ve m e nts as sidew alks and streetlig h tin g , benches and b icycle racks. S ecurity is to be increased in the parking lots and im p ro v e ments made at the rapid stop. The Regional Transit A u th o rity may even be asked to m ove the tu rn a ro u n d fo r its trains away fro m the center o f the Square. Planning has been overseen by the Friends o f Shaker Square staff consisting o f an executive d ire c to r, executive assistant and an architect. T h eir first-ye a r a ctivities have been supported by m a tching grants o f $39,000 each fro m the Foundation and the C ity o f Cleveland as w e ll as several thousand dollars fro m in d ivid ua ls and firm s. Friends o f Shaker Square is one o f seven n e ig h b o rh o o d d e v e lo p m e n t groups given fo u n d atio n fu n d in g in the past year o r so to prepare them to spend e ffe c tiv e ly $2 m illio n in federal c o m m u n ity d e v e lo p m e n t funds the c ity plans to share am ong them d u rin g 1977. The o th e r co m m ercial districts are in the Buckeye, Fairfax, O ld B rooklyn, U p p e r Prospect, O h io C ity and D e tro it Shoreway neigh b orh o o ds. RENT SUBSIDIES The p o o r and the near p oo r, especially m em bers o f large fam ilies, single w o m e n w ith c h il dren, the disabled and the e ld e rly, have always had d iffic u lty fin d in g a dece n t place to live. Public housing has tended to co nce n trate such in d ividuals, o fte n exacerbating th e ir d e p e n dency; and so, am id w idespread dissatisfaction, there has been a m o ra to riu m on co n s tru c tio n o f p u b lic housing fo r several years. In 1974 Congress a u th o rize d a new program w h ic h is receiving m uch national a tte n tio n be cause fo r the first tim e it provides subsidies fo r

lo w and m oderate in co m e persons to rent housing in the p riva te m arket place. Know n as Section 8 o f the H ousing and C o m m u n ity D e ve lo p m e n t A ct, the program is adm inistered lo ca lly by the Cuyahoga M e tro p o lita n H ousing A u th o rity w ith funds and guidelines p ro vid e d by the U.S. D e p a rtm e n t o f H ousing and Urban D e ve lo p m e n t. Since February, 1976 C M H A has issued certificates to m ore than 4,100 persons and fam ilies, givin g them 60 days to shop any w h e re in the c o u n ty fo r houses o r apartm ents offe re d at " fa ir m a rke t” rents. If they secure such housing, renters pay no m ore than 25 per cent o f th e ir m o n th ly in co m e to w a rd rent. The federal g o ve rn m e n t pays the d iffe re n ce d ire c tly to the la n d lo rd . It soon becam e apparent, how ever, n o t o n ly in G reater C leveland b u t th ro u g h o u t the c o u n try, th a t the m arket place was n o t y ie ld in g fast enough. M a n y la n dlo rd s o fte n refused to see Section 8 c e rtifica te holders, w h ile m any p ro spective renters d id n 't k n o w w h e re to lo o k fo r housing o r h o w to present them selves favorably. Some feared the e xp e rim e n t was d o o m e d to failu re, in part because federal g uidelines d id n o t a llo w adequate a d m in istra tive expenses to p u b lic iz e the program and counsel d iffic u lt-to place applicants.

In o rd e r to q u a lify as a s u p p o rtin g o rganiza tio n o f the F oundation, The S herw ick Fund was re q uired to satisfy certain co n d itio n s.

COMBINED FUND GROWTH OF THE CLEVELAND FOUNDATION The C o m b in e d Fund was created w ith in The C leveland F oundation in 1943 to p ro vid e a way th ro u g h w h ic h gifts o f any size co uld be made and p u t to w o rk m o re e ffic ie n tly . Several th o u sand d onors have c o n trib u te d to the C o m b in e d Fund since its creation. G ifts to the C o m b in ed Fund retain th e ir separate id e n tity as m em orials b ut are c o m m in g le d fo r investm ent purposes, thereby p ro v id in g a large b lo c k o f capital fo r m ore e ffic ie n t in ve stm en t m anagem ent and greater in co m e p o te n tia l.
