Dear Friends: It is amazing how quickly a year flies by and how much gets done in that time. Your United Way has been focused on some critical work that will have an incredible impact on the lives of our county residents. It has all been about the great partnership we have across the community with our funded partners at the top of the list. Our three impact councils have really begun to get traction. Business people, non-profits, community leaders and subject matter experts come together every month to create and implement strategies that will Create Independence, Enhance Community Well-Being and Respond to Crisis. These impact councils seek to understand the root causes of our five priority areas, bring key stakeholders to the table to plan strategies, invest and steward donor funds to meet those strategies, and create a neutral platform for community dialogue and engagement. There are systemic and complex issues that require a wide range of partners. We are fortunate that we have great partners who care about these issues. Some Montgomery County residents are still recovering from the damages caused by Hurricane Ike. Working with two case management groups specializing in disaster recovery, the county’s Office of Community Development’s CDBG home replacement program, national faith based groups, and local organizations and businesses, your United Way continues to invest over $3.1 million of SSBG funds to help over 400 people in Montgomery and Liberty Counties recover from Hurricane Ike. The annual fund raising campaign has been stronger than ever under the leadership of Barry Carpenter and his 2010 Campaign Cabinet. Montgomery County residents have generously supported our efforts to change lives. We will announce our final numbers in April. Process improvement has also been a focus this year. Dr. Ike Williams and the Community Impact Committee continue to refine our strategic investment process. Lucy Shanahan and the Marketing Committee launched a new website which integrates our social media. Roz Dauzat and the Finance Committee’s work resulted in a great audit, even with the addition of a federal grant. Dr. Jon Kramer and the Strategic Planning Committee set metrics for success and projected revenue and staff growth to frame the discussion around facility needs. And each of these committees has primed the pump for 2011. Thank you to the incredibly talented and committed board members, volunteers, donors, and staff who have invested their many gifts in your United Way. This great partnership allows MCUW to “Improve Lives by Mobilizing the Caring Power of Communities.” This is your United Way. We are focused on the most important issues facing our community. This annual report gives you many more details about this past year. Please take a moment to read through it. We ask you to join us and Live United in 2011– Give. Advocate. Volunteer. Your time, talent and treasure will make a lasting difference in the future of our county. Donald R. Lehman, Chair Board of Directors

The Following Statistics are found in the 2008 MCUW Priorities Report created by the University of Houston Graduate School of Social Work. With the 2010 Census data being made available in 2011, the statistics will be updated for our continuing work.
Creating Independence Impact Council
Moving People Out of Poverty These statistics got our attention!
37% or 27,628 school aged children in Montgomery County live at or close poverty.
8,186 families live in poverty in Montgomery County, representing 45,869 individuals. We believe that if our community concentrates on this #1 priority, other needs will decrease. If families have training and education to earn sustainable wages, they will be better prepared for the bumps along the road of life. Your donor dollars support the following programs which have shown measurable results in fighting poverty. • Mentoring • Adult Literacy • School Supplies • Education and training for youth • Affordable housing initiative • No or low cost after school care Invested dollars funded a 5 year program through Mission Northeast to combine education, vocational training and financial literacy training in order to move families out of poverty.
Since MCUW began focusing on moving people out of poverty in 2008, 1.3% or 3,107 fewer people are in poverty.
Angela Mitchell is a Certified Nurse’s Aid and works the night shift at Memorial Hermann Hospital. She works in the surgical care unit. In April of 2009, she was not employed. Her husband, a carpenter by trade, was seeing the effects of a tough economy and went from working 6 – 7 days per week to sometimes one day per week. Their family of 5 was evicted from their home. Angela, who did not want to ask for help from the Mission NE did not feel she had a choice. She was in the reception area, registering to receive food for her family, when she heard a group of students talking about becoming Certified Nurse’s Aids. “I knew I had to learn more about that”, she said. “My goal is to become a Registered Nurse. With going to school and working and spending time with my family, it’s not the lifestyle I want for my kids. If they can finish high school and go to college without borrowing money for student loans; then we can give our kids a chance.” Angela’s parents encouraged her and her siblings to finish high school but they were not encouraged to seek higher education; just to get started working. “You never know whose life you will touch.” Angela shares a time at the hospital when she was on her rounds checking on patients. A lady had just undergone abdominal surgery and was trying to get out of bed. Angela assisted and then recognized, because of her CNA training, that the lady was having a heart attack. The nurse on duty was summoned and the lady was wheeled into surgery. The patient came back to surgery recovery. This lady’s family was so appreciative that they stopped by to thank Angela for her efforts. “Without the training provided by “Project Independence”, I would not have been able to help.” “Project Independence is supported through the “Moving People Out of Poverty” priority funding area from Montgomery County United Way.
“You never know whose life you will touch.”
Creating Independence Impact Council
Helping People Cope with Challenging Situations and Developing Resiliency The statistics found in 2008 that gave us concern: Montgomery County’s senior population has grown by 21%. Montgomery County has seen a 50% increase in the number of people aged five and older with one or more disabilities and a increase in mental disability. Confirmed cases of child abuse and neglect has increased by
77%
23%.
We recognize that people need help with coping with challenges they might face. The key is to develop resiliency, to improve the lives of our neighbors and friends. Your dollars go to these programs that have shown measurable results: • Vocational training and education for people with mental or physical disabilities and respite for their families. • Counseling and intervention for families dealing with abuse or other challenges. • Senior assistance to help with independent living.
98% of Abused Women Reported Improved Coping Skills
Patricia Brown has survived an abusive childhood, several wrecked relationships, dealing with her son’s drug abuse and adopting her grandchildren. Through counseling at Montgomery County United Way Funded Partner Montgomery County Women’s Center, Patricia is continuing to get help when she needs it. Patricia was one of six children. Her father, who was an armed services “lifer”, physically and sexually abused her and her sister. Her mother let things happen. “We were all frightened, always wondering what would set him off”, she said. “One time, I was yanked back by my shoulders, kicked in my back by our dad and beaten with his Navy belt buckle until I bled. I still have the scars”. Patricia’s son and daughter-in-law were drug abusers. One night, she got a call from her, then 3 year old, granddaughter. Her mother had left them alone. Patricia’s grandson was only one at the time. By the time Patricia reached their apartment, she found her daughter-in-law passed out on the couch, a razor and cocaine on the table and her grandchildren inconsolable. It was then, that she called Child Protective Services and sought adoption of her grandchildren. Her daughter-in-law was pregnant a few years later and Patricia sought custody of that child as well. As a hospice nurse, Patricia enjoys her job but has difficulty raising three children, maintaining a job and maintaining her sanity. She did, recently, hire a nanny and is continuing to seek help from MCWC. It has been her “conscience decision to be as stable as possible to make a life for her grand children.”
Lorna Acuña is a single mom, operating her own communications business. In order for her to afford insurance for her and her seventeen year old son, Gabriel, she had to ask to be included on Gabriel’s Dad’s COBRA plan. So she has insurance but it’s not paying for preventive health care, it only pays in case of an emergency and it’s costing her almost $550.00 per month, a stretch on anyone’s budget. Getting her own plan is not an option because she is an eleven year breast cancer survivor. Because of this pre-existing condition, Lorna is not insureable. According to Lorna: “A lot of the middle class people, in my opinión, are transitioning into other career options. A lot of people are opening their own business, after spending a number of years in corporations. Like me, they are counting every penny. If they want health coverage, they are dipping into savings if they have it and are just trying to provide for themselves and their families.” “I’m just trying to buy time. I am seeking higher education to become a counselor so I can help my clients. But with that, I hope to also provide a better income for me and Gabriel.” Montgomery County United Way’s #2 priority of Facilitating Access to Affordable and Quality Health Care is addressing real life concerns of Montgomery County citizens like the Acuña family. Gabriel is a senior at College Park High School and has received news of acceptance at Penn State. He served as an EfTA intern at MCUW in the fall of 2010.

Facilitating Access to Affordable and Quality Health Care In 2008 we noticed that:
The number of children aged 18 and younger enrolled in Medicaid has increased by 37% in Montgomery County. Only a few health care facilities in Montgomery County accept Chips or Medicaid. We are not in the healthcare business but we can bring collaborative partners together to provide long term solutions. MCUW has invested in a health care study where the following partners have agreed to share their data in order to identify trends and gaps of service in our community. Health Care Study Partners: • Montgomery County Hospital District • St. Luke’s The Woodlands Hospital • Memorial Hermann Hospital The Woodlands • Lone Star Family Health Center • Interfaith Community Clinic • Conroe and Kingwood Medical Centers This Healthcare Study seeks to: Identify the barriers and the root causes to healthcare access effecting Montgomery County residents. Identify potential resources, suppliers and solutions that can effectively address those barriers. Foster collaborative efforts to tackle multiple areas that facilitate access to healthcare and build capacity.
21% of Montgomery County’s population is uninsured.

Preventing and Treating Drug and Alcohol Abuse Alarming 2008 statistics:
8.9% of the county’s population, 12 years of age and older are dependent or abuse alcohol and or illicit drugs.
Records show that juvenile arrests for drug abuse violations have increased by 45%. Adult arrests for driving under the influence have jumped by 114%. Your donor dollars seeded a program administered by Tri-County Services last year that leveraged state and federal dollars to provide a local Montgomery County drug and alcohol treatment program for adults. In addition, prevention programs have been supported by area scout and other youth services organizations.
A $42,000 investment leveraged almost $174,000 in state and federal funded dollars to expand the initial program.
To stand on the brink of death and know that decisions you have made have led you to that point, make you think about “what could have been”. That’s what happened to Michael Egdorf, a recovering addict involved in a treatment program funded by Montgomery County United Way. Michael felt like his life was about to end on August 28th, 2009. After several days of constant cocaine usage, his legs and arms were numb, his heart was racing, he was sweating, he was sick to his stomach and he said “I thought that was it, that I was going to die”. Unless you’ve experienced addiction, he said “you can’t understand the drive to get to the next rush.” His life became “a maze of loss and destruction.” He lost his job, his marriage, alienated his friends and his family. He said “drugs look fun from the outside looking in but when you’re on the inside looking out, you realize it’s not fun at all.”
“Drugs look fun from the outside looking in but when you’re on the inside looking out, you realize it’s not fun at all.” Montgomery County United Way’s Community Well Being Impact Council recommended that the MCUW Board fund the Tri-County Services Montgomery County Substance Abuse Treatment program. This nine week adult outpatient program emphasizes abstinence and behavior modification. This initial investment allowed Tri-County Services to leverage funds against state and federal resources so that a program could grow in Montgomery County. Bill Mullener, Manager of the program said “Thanks to MCUW, we are able to improve the lives of addicts in Montgomery County, we can really make a difference.”
Imagine a neighbor making a call to law enforcement or Child Protective Services. The neighbor thinks the little seven year old girl next door is showing signs of sexual abuse. She’s not the “happy go lucky” girl she usually is. She doesn’t say hello when she walks by, she’s been avoiding everyone she used to have contact with. Children’s Safe Harbor, a MCUW funded partner, gets a call from CPS or local law enforcement. In a quiet room of the child friendly building, parents or guardians of the young girl speak with highly trained forensic interviewers to try and understand the situation. “What’s going to happen?”, they ask. “Should I have known what was happening?” The young seven year old gets to speak freely, alone with the interviewer while law enforcement investigators watch from an observation area so any evidence gleaned can be preserved by video tape. She gets to tell someone trained in child and linguistic development the narrative story of what happened to her. Most often, sexual, physical or verbal abuse is perpetrated by someone known by the family, not an outsider. Once evidence is taken and the child is separated from the accused abuser, the next step is to start the process of healing, despite what happens in the legal process. Counseling is provided for the girl and her family. For the girl, she is finally able to tell her terrible secret. Her life as a child is given back..she enjoys her family and friends again. She does better in school. She often succeeds in school and goes to college. She even might want to be a counselor one day or a law enforcement officer to help other victims. For the parent or guardian left behind, often they themselves, are victims. They may find themselves building a new life without the abuser. They seek help for any addictions to drugs or alcohol which was a coping mechanism for dealing with their crisis. They go back to school and get sustainable wages so they can support their family. Parents and children end up having a better relationship with each other. The family learns to live a fuller, happier life. Children’s Safe Harbor conducted over 588 Forensic Interviews in 2010. For the twelve years that Children’s Safe Harbor has served Montgomery County, the average child is a 7 yr. old Caucasian female. The second highest ethnic group served through the forensic interview program are Hispanic children between the ages of 4—12. MCUW would like to thank Kris Kerlin, M.A. LPC-S, Program Director of Children’s Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Center for the information for this article.
community to crisis Impact Council
Providing Temporary Assistance In the Event of a Crisis The Statistics: In 2009, requests for utility bill and rent assistance continued to be the number one and two requests through MCUW’s Information & Referral services. Data from one of MCUW’s funded partners indicates that they are missing over 3,000 calls per day from citizens needing help with rent and utility bills. Temporary crisis sometimes leads people to take out their stress on the people they, supposedly, love the most. Your investment in MCUW funds programs that provide assistance for the bumps in the road of life. Well laid plans by area families go astray when jobs are lost or emergencies arise. With programs that can provide temporary help, families are able to sustain their jobs and get back on track. The investments you have made support these programs that have shown measurable results. • Forensic interviews in the case of child abuse. • Emergency assistance for rent and utility payments. • Shelter for abused women. • Shelter for troubled youth. • Stabilization unit for patients experiencing a mental health crisis.
95% of Caregivers of Abused Children felt Equipped with Resources to Move Forward.

advocate Montgomery County United Way’s Women’s Leadership Council raised over $30,000 to support the “Helping You Help Them” scholarship program. “Helping You Help Them” pays for daycare costs at accredited daycare centers for young mothers trying to further their education after high school. 2009 scholarships went to three young women attending Lone Star College: Sarah Large who graduated from Oak Ridge High School and was also supported with a daycare scholarship in 2008, Analyssa Garcia who graduated from College Park High School and Mitzy Barrera who graduated from Conroe High School.
Success By 6 supported Magnolia ISD’s Smith Elementary’s “Reading Begins at Home” program. Twenty three families participated in learning literacy strategies in Spanish and English to create a family reading routine. The goal of the program was to strengthen parent and children’s interaction with each other and interaction at the school. Success By 6 also joined forces, once again, with Texas Agri-Life Extension to promote F.R.E.D. (Families Read Every Day) in the Willis MET Head Start center. 278 families participated. 48% of participants felt the quality of time spent with their children was vastly improved.
49% of participating parents felt more involved with their child’s education. 14

Resource Directories Annually, MCUW distributes Youth Yellow Pages (designed to help area youth) Living Senior (resources for area seniors and their families) and Resource Guides (distributed to area non-profits, schools, businesses and faith based organizations to help with health and human services available.)
Responding In Emergency October 2010 marked a year’s worth of work of continued response to Hurricane Ike Victims. In 2009 MCUW was awarded a $3.1 million Social Services Block Grant from Houston Galveston Area Council to assist in recovery efforts. Working alongside McCares Unmet Needs Committee and Liberty County Long Term Recovery Committee, case workers from ICNA and GMC Consultants, and by receiving wonderful service from local Before MCUW Grant Assistance area vendors; MCUW was able to meet the following needs for citizens in Liberty and Montgomery Counties. Liberty County 78 Homes received Minor Home Repair (125 Adults/38 Children) for a total of $480,221 spent from grant funds. Montgomery County 34 Homes received Minor Home Repair. 58 adults and 30 children now have safe and secure homes for a total of $214,818 spent from grant funds. Ater MCUW Grant Assistance 41 households received replacment of furniture, appliances etc. This improved the living conditions of 60 adults and 47 children for a total of $204,410 spent from grant funds. Grant funds were also spent to reimburse Montgomery County Food Bank ($33,455) in roof repair for damages sustained in the storm and Montgomery County for Juvenile Housing ($25,539) during the storm. MCUW administrative costs to run the grant were $233,467. Total Grant money benefitting Liberty and Montgomery Counties = $1,191,915 Total Assisted: 158 Homes with 253 Adults, 104 Children and 2 agencies. A grant extension is being sought by MCUW to expand the time frame to assist additional citizens in 2011.
MCCARES
(Montgomery County Community Assistance Recovery Efforts & Services) The road to recovery after a hurricane or flood is often long and convoluted. Some residents of Montgomery County are still attempting to put their lives back together after Hurricane Ike. The past year focused on bring together all organizations and funding sources with resources to help as many people with little to no resources through the recovery process as possible. Important partners with MCUW to these efforts include RISE Case Management groups GMC and ICNA, Montgomery County Office of Community Development, Tri-County MHMR, Houston Galveston Area Council SSBG grant, MCUW’s Days of Caring, and MCUW’s Disaster Recovery Fund. Kathy Rifaat of Interfaith, chaired the Unmet needs Committee whose members reviewed cases of residents requesting assistance with home repairs or barriers to qualifying for a home through the county’s CDBG program. Over 350 people in Montgomery and Liberty Counties had their lives improved as a result of the SSBG grant alone. Most of those helped were elderly or disabled. As county government begins its planning efforts around long term recovery, MCUW’s staff has been invited to serve on the steering committee to represent MCCARES and the non-profit community’s efforts on behalf of the residents of the county.
Emergency Food and Shelter Program: Ten local non-profits received $203,492 to help them provide services that would keep Montgomery County residents in their homes and with food on their tables during 2010. The funds paid rent and mortgages, utilities, provided food through local food pantries and in shelters operated by The Salvation Army, Montgomery County Women’s Center and Montgomery County Youth Services. Other shelter operations were also supported. Committee: Renee Powers—Chair Entergy Alice Coker Salvation Army Volunteer Jeri Dushkin Beth Shalom Synagogue Don Granger Grangerland
