Celebrating 45 Years of Service

A Message from the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer This year, Montgomery Community Action Committee & CDC, Inc. (MCAC) is celebrating 45 years of service to the residents of Montgomery County. Throughout our 45 years, we have faced difficulties and celebrated triumphs.

MCAC’s 2009-2010 program year was very unique and successful. Due to current economic times, our agency experienced an increase in the number of Montgomery County residents needing assistance for the very first time; many of whom would not have traditionally qualified for our programs. However, we were prepared and positioned to serve those in need.

The 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) provided the Agency with nearly $2 million dollars for our Early Head Start and Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) programs. With the use of ARRA funds, MCAC was able to make a positive economic impact in the lives of low-to-moderate income citizens residing in Montgomery County. Through innovative programs, community partnerships, diligence, a dedicated staff and a genuine concern for the well-being of others; MCAC was able to help improve the lives of over 65,000 individuals and their families.

We are dedicated to serving those in need, and are completely committed to building the Montgomery County community by positively affecting the lives of others. Our passion empowers Montgomery County residents, and assists them in attaining and maintaining a rewarding future.

Rethinking Pre-K: 5 Ways to Fix Preschool

By Kaya Webley 09-26-2011

“A half-century’s worth of data has shown that reaching kids early helps them avoid repeating grades in elementary school, stay on track to graduate high school, earn more money as adults and spend less time in prison or on welfare. Recent studies have also pointed to third grade as a critical benchmark — if children are not performing at grade level by then, they may never catch up — making the years leading up to that point increasingly important.”

Parental Involvement

Parents are the first and primary educators of their children, in addition to being the most important influence on a child’s development. An essential part of every Head Start program is the involvement of parents in parent education, program planning and operating activities.

MCAC’s Head Start Program and its parents share a strong partnership in which the home environment and school environment work closely together to strengthen each stage of the child’s development. Through participation in classes on child development and through staff visits to the home, parents learn about the needs of their children and about educational activities that can be carried out at home. Parents are also involved in all program service areas through creative and supervised activities designed to help parents continue their involvement to ensure school readiness for their children.

Fiscal Audit

The annual independent audit was conducted

by Carr, Riggs and Ingram Certified Public Accountants and Business Consultants of Enterprise, AL. This audit was conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. The auditor’s opinion expressed that “the consolidated financial statements…in all material respects, the financial position of Montgomery Community Action Committee, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as of February 28, 2010 and the changes in their net assets and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States of America.

embodying a spirit of hope Montgomery Community Action Committee & CDC, Inc. Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) & American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) “Lighting the Path to Economic Success” MCAC created new innovative programs and developed new partnerships and collaborations. During the ARRA period, the CSBG poverty guidelines increased to 200%, which allowed residents of Montgomery County who did not previously qualify for our services become eligible during the 2009-2010 CSBG program year.

The ARRA program’s focus was to be an outlet in which low-income individuals could receive financial assistance for scholarships, educational assistance, on-the-job training, financial literacy and an array of emergency assistance services to help individuals and families in need of assistance due to unemployment, illness or other crisis situations.

Emergency Services

ARRA funds were used to stabilize low-to-moderate income families by providing assistance for rental/mortgage delinquency assistance, utility assistance, the purchase of prescribed medications and any other type of emergency assistance to alleviate crisis. Through this program, 264 families received emergency assistance.
