About Community Action
C
ommunity Action Agencies (CAAs) work to alleviate poverty and empower low-income families in their communities. For over 45 years, CAAs have provided the tools to help people move from poverty to selfsufficiency. The Community Action Agency Network is made up of more than 1,100 local, private, non-profit and public agencies, created through the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. The Ohio Association of Community Action Agencies represents Ohio’s 50 agencies serving the needs of low-income people in all of Ohio’s 88 counties. CAAs provide services to more than 15 million low-income people annually in 99 percent of the nation’s counties. Among them are 4 million children. In 2011, Ohio’s Community Action Agencies served more than 835,000 low-income individuals, among them over 325,000 children. There is no “typical” CAA. No two CAAs are exactly alike because each is governed by the leadership and specific needs of its local community. But despite this fact, there is a typical CAA approach to fighting the causes of poverty. Local agencies approach these goals by offering a variety of programs that serve low-income children, families and seniors. They coordinate emergency assistance, provide weatherization services, sponsor youth programs, operate senior centers and provide transportation in rural areas. CAAs provide linkages to job training opportunities, GED preparation courses, and vocational education programs. They provide a range of services addressing poverty-related problems ‑ from income management and credit counseling to entrepreneurial development and small business incubators; from domestic violence crisis assistance to family development programs and parenting classes; from food pantries and emergency shelters to low-income housing development and community revitalization projects.
This report will focus on five program categories: • • • • •

A Message from the OACAA Board President & Executive Director
C
ommunity Action Agencies across Ohio serve as a beacon of hope and strength to families, offering a variety of services to help overcome employment barriers, provide safe and secure housing, and maintain their health and wellbeing. Our agencies continue to thrive because we are deeply committed and compassionate. We make sure the people who walk through our doors, starting with the preschoolers, are ready for the opportunities that await them. We aim to instill real, positive, transformational changes in the lives of the people we serve. It is our hope that this report will demonstrate those changes we are making in Ohio one family at a time. I would also like to thank all of the dedicated staff and volunteers that have contributed to the Community Action Network’s success in Ohio. Whether you are an agency employee who brings enthusiasm and expertise, a board member who brings guidance and direction, or a financial supporter who helps to sustain us in uncertain economic times, your belief in our mission is absolutely essential to our continued operation. It is only through your support that we can continue to strengthen Ohio. Sincerely,
Gwen L. Robinson-Benning President
OACAA Board of Trustees

ach Community Action Agency is different, meeting the unique needs of their community, and that makes it difficult to show how much each agency really does. Community Action Agencies have been helping low-income people become selfsufficient for almost 50 years, and we’ve been doing a good job. It is our hope that this annual report will help demonstrate the real work that is being done by Community Action Agencies throughout Ohio. In 2011 Community Action Agencies dealt with difficult times, as funding was cut, but clients increased due to the effects of the recession. But CAAs met these challenges, attempted to do more with less, and served 835,424 low-income individuals, 323,806 families. How did we do more with less? Well for every $1 of federal funding CAAs in Ohio received from the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) they leveraged $17 from state, local and private sources. CAAs have the knowledge, resources and flexibility to meet the needs of their community and help everyone prosper. We hope that this annual report demonstrates that. Sincerely, Philip E. Cole

ames had a good job as a food processor, but when the recession hit, he lost this position. His resources were quickly diminishing and James knew he needed to increase his skills to find a new job. James contacted the Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Agency and learned that their Workforce Development program offered a unique Cincinnati Manufacturing Certificates course. This is a free training course offered to qualified individuals seeking to sharpen their skills and obtain national credentials from the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council. The course equips participants with Production Technician Certificates and improves skills and knowledge in nine different sought-after manufacturing sub-industries. “James enrolled in the program where he excelled, maintaining an excellent record and achieving a Gold Level National Career Readiness Certificate on his WorkKeys Training session for the Cincinnati assessment, and gaining the full Certified Production Technician credentials,” said Manufacturing Certificates Course Steve Schumacher who manages the program for CAA. “He showed great leadership during the training, assisting other trainees and becoming the go-to problem solver within his training group.” These qualities came to the attention of a large metal manufacturer looking to hire a supervisor for their annealing facility. James was offered the position and now has a stable career with good pay and benefits thanks to Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Agency’s CMC program.

nable to work due to health issues, Debbie and her 12 year old daughter had been living with her father. But when her father kicked them out after an argument Debbie was unsure where she and her daughter would live. She looked into getting an apartment and working with HUD, but the wait for HUD assistance can be as much as two years. Being on Social Security, with a limited income, Debbie could not afford an apartment on her own. She did have a trailer, but it was in such disrepair it was uninhabitable.

The trailer had no heat, no running water, an unusable stove and a broken front door from a break in, among other issues. Debbie applied for the Weatherization program at the Pickaway County Community Action Organization (PICCA) in order to get assistance with fixing up the trailer. She received emergency assistance and in a matter of time, as Debbie said, “they made my place go from unlivable to livable.” “They made my place go from unlivable to livable.” Debbie
Through PICCA, Debbie received a new furnace and insulation, the water pipes and faucets were repaired and a hot water heater installed, gas shut off valves were installed for the stove so that it could be safely used again and it was cleaned and serviced, and a new front door was installed.
“For the first time I felt safe and secure, but most importantly, I had a home finally thanks to PICCA and the program,” Debbie said. “PICCA’s program left me feeling I can do this and my daughter and I will make it as we always do, but without them, I couldn’t have found the positive in this situation. ... [They] helped make home feel like home.” Debbie’s daughter was also very grateful, stating, “My mommy is sick a lot and we couldn’t get everything done. Thank you for getting our home ready so we could be home and be happy.”

arolyn, a single mother of four, was trying to make a better life for her and her children by going to school to become a dental lab technician, but when her car broke down it changed everything. “My car broke down and after it was gone it changed my life tremendously,” Carolyn explained. Not only did Carolyn struggle to run errands, get to class and take her kids to activities, she worried about how she would find a job after her impending graduation. “Without transportation I felt trapped, stuck and coming to a dead end. I had no mobility. My children walked with me and carried groceries home. I rode my bike back and forth from school. Occasionally people would help, but I lost my freedom,” Carolyn said. “Living on the excess of my educational loans meant that the bus was not an affordable or convenient option. I dropped my children out of their sports activities because I couldn’t get them back and forth. My graduation was nearing and I would need to find a job immediately or lose everything. No transportation, school, children, bills, employment, it was too much. I felt overwhelmed and slipped into depression,” she explained.

A friend of hers told her about IMPACT Community Action Agency’s By Car program after reading an article about it in the Columbus Dispatch. The By Car program is a matched savings fund where for every $1 a participant saves towards the purchase of a vehicle, the program contributes $2. Participants also take classes on budgeting and managing the costs of car maintenance and insurance. “I “I sacrificed believing that if saved $1,333, which is like a million dollars to someone like me,” Carolyn I got a car, it would change my said. “I sacrificed believing that if I got a car, it would change my life.

“Transportation was the greatest barrier to my future,” Carolyn stated. “The ripple effect is that I am now gainfully employed in a job on my career path, making $14 an hour! The next ripple is that my children will have the opportunity to learn and compete because I will be able to transport them to practice, and we can function as a family for the first time in a long time. They have a mom that they can be proud of and not have to worry so much.” Carolyn continued, “I own my own vehicle, you could never know how that feels. Now I have a chance at a better life for myself and my children. This feels great!”
Community Development – 386 different projects
C
AAs make a significant contribution to community economic development by promoting individual wealth and initiating projects that create jobs, build industry and develop community infrastructure. A study recently completed by Ohio University’s Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs, Community Action Agencies: Strengthening Ohio’s Communities, found that CAA’s invest nearly 40 percent of their funding towards community economic development, creating 386 different economic development initiatives throughout the Adams Brown Counties Economic Opportunities’ state. In 2010, over $208 million was invested in CED projects by CAAs Recycling Center and 94 percent of those funds, or $196 million, was spent on services designed to improve Ohio’s employment outlook. Thirty-four percent goes towards programs designed to maintain workforce productivity, such as childcare and transportation, and 50 percent is allocated to infrastructure-related projects. Below is a sample list of community economic development projects that CAAs are involved in: • Projects that attract capital investment o Recycling Services o Downtown Revitalization o Commercial Development • Projects that increase business development opportunities o Microenterprise o Technical Assistance o Micro-financing • Projects that increase or enhance employment opportunities o Job Counseling o Employer Partnerships o Industry Training • Projects that result in infrastructure development or redevelopment

n 2002, GMN (Guernsey, Noble and Monroe) Tri-County Community Action Commission became the first and only CAA in the country to receive a United States Department of Agriculture Federal Broadband Connectivity Grant, spurring a mission to address a critical gap in Southeastern Ohio by bringing broadband service to rural Monroe County. With that initial government investment, GMN’s broadband program has grown from initially serving the town of Woodsfield into a self-sustaining enterprise with seven towers and over 700 customers. Though the majority of GMN’s broadband customers are residential GMN Tri-County Community Action Commission’s (92%), the positive effects of GMN’s broadband service in this Broadband Program previously deprived region have widespread impacts on a variety of sectors and industries: 20 essential services – such as police, firefighters, and municipal offices – are now able to complete required reporting, communicate between departments, and streamline general operations. GMN provides broadband service free of charge to these essential services, reducing costs for municipalities experiencing budget cuts. The Black Walnut Center, an industrial business center, was revitalized by the new broadband access and is now home to several small businesses and provides a distance learning center for Belmont Technical College. The College’s ability to provide virtual and distance learning at the Black Walnut Center has allowed them to access a larger market and made higher education a more realistic possibility for many people in this rural area who struggle with transportation. GMN also maintains an open connectivity center that provides free internet and computer access to over 60 individuals per week. Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) dollars were initially used to fund administrative costs and supplement two grants. To date, with 700 customers and counting, the program generates nearly $200,000 annually. The program has become self-sustaining, allowing for the employment of four staff, the purchase and upgrade of equipment, and the development of new access points to increase the broadband service area. To keep costs low, GMN continues to utilize the existing infrastructure of local communities by positioning access points on water towers, silos, and barns. Approximately ten customers are added each month, resulting in an annual revenue increase of $3,400. The program’s profits are used to maintain GMN’s firm commitment to keeping this increasingly critical service affordable for all residents. GMN’s broadband program has grown from initially serving the town of Woodsfield into a selfsustaining enterprise with seven towers and over 700 customers.
