2010 Report to the People
If you walk through the halls at CEDA you will commonly find someone knowledgeable of CEDA’s storied past. The knowledge that person may possess will not be derived from history books or gossip survived through the years, but likely from personal experiences and interactions that have shaped their lives and fueled their desire to help others. For some staff, this dedication spans decades, stemming from the annals of CEDA’s birth to its present day reverence. Just as with big companies where an individual can live out his or her dreams of starting out as a mailroom clerk to becoming president, CEDA boast a staff rich with individuals in leadership positions who began their journey on the concrete blocks at the grassroots level. CEDA was built by everyday people who understand everyday struggles. In 2010, CEDA continued its dedication to “Put America Back to Work” with funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Through ARRA, CEDA added hundreds to Cook County’s workforce. At CEDA, “Dedication” leads to client satisfaction. Development If you travel through Berwyn, Calumet Park, Chicago, Chicago Heights, Cicero, Evanston, Ford Heights, Harvey, Mt. Prospect, Robbins, Summit, and many other municipalities, villages and townships throughout Cook County you will often be within a few miles of a CEDA Community Development Agency (CDA), energy assiatnce site or affiliated organization located in the community working on behalf of CEDA. As part of CEDA’s mission to work in partnership with communities to achieve selfsufficiency, economic development remains the focal point of helping underserved populations. Community engagement begins the process of real revitalization. Partnerships with local businesses, organizations, elected officials, residents and civic leaders provide CEDA with key information and resources that is critical to assessing and addressing the specific needs of each community. Whether the need is job creation, energy assistance or educational training for youth, CEDA works to develop and implement programs that are self-sustainable and successful in achieving set goals. At CEDA, “Development” leads to community action. If you visit any one of our seven Com- munity Development Agencies (CDAs) throughout suburban Cook County, you will see the faces of CEDA: AfricanAmericans, Caucasians, Asians, Hispanics, Italians, Russians, and many other races and ethnic groups that call upon CEDA in their time of need. While CEDA proudly serves more than 375,000 individuals and families each year, the depth and breadth of CEDA’s diversity extends beyond its clients. CEDA operates more than 40 programs and services that address the myriad of issues that families are faced with each day. No two CEDA programs are the same—the Housing department can help prevent a family from losing their home to foreclosure, as well as transition homeless individuals and families into permanent shelter. This form of diversity is the hallmark of CEDA’s success and can be found across all programming departments. In 2010, CEDA delved deeper into the cultures and traditions of its diverse clientele. CEDA staff walked side-by-side with members of the Chinese American Service League (CASL) through Chinatown to celebrate the Chinese Lunar Year “Year of the Dragon, 4708,” the most important of the Chinese traditional holidays. Over several days, CEDA’s External Affairs Specialists (EAS) mingled with the estimated 1 million At CEDA, “Diversity” leads to broader understandings. Letter to the People In 2010, CEDA was presented with a variety of unique challenges that would test our organization’s capacity to continue delivering the best client service that community action has to offer. In working to meet these challenges, as an organization, we rediscovered three core principles that have been the foundation to CEDA’s success: Development, Dedication, and Diversity. to the next level. We witnessed unparalleled “Dedication” from a group of more than 600 employees who worked tirelessly to ensure the most in-need individuals and families were within reach of becoming self-sufficient. And through the “Diversity” of our staff, network of volunteers, partners and friends, CEDA strengthened its cultural ties to numerous communities of rich ethnic backgrounds. These three principles, which carry the theme for CEDA in 3D, are presented here in our annual report to exemplify the significance of their meanings and impact of their practices. As a Community Action Agency, we relied on the depth of our experience in economic “Development” to help push our programming CEDA in 3D is both an introspective look and subjective view behind CEDA’s mission to combat poverty, foster economic parity, and advocate self-sustainability. In this year’s report you’ll find case studies, client testimonials, an array of capturing photographs and hard facts that support our work in the areas of Child and Family Development, Community Development, Education, Employment and Training, Energy Efficiency, Home Energy Assistance, Health and Nutrition, and Housing. Additionally, we are proud to highlight some of the many accomplishments that were achieved with funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). CEDA’s focus on helping to stimulate the economy and “Put America Back to Work” was truly a mission we were honored to undertake. Honorable Seth D. McCormick Chairman, Board of Directors In closing, we ask that you continue to support the good work of CEDA, and help us, change lives. Robert L. Wharton President and CEO 9 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) played a key role in enabling CEDA to further support and assist residents of Cook County during the economic recession. Programs that operate under the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) witnessed a significant increase in client enrollment and in many cases exceeded targeted benchmarks. Other programs such as Home Weatherization, Head Start, Housing and Workforce Development experienced similar growth and production trends due to the additional funding provided through the stimulus. According to a recent study, “ARRA Funding Community Impact,” many CEDA program departments faced initial implementation barriers when required to expand existing programs. The study notes, the delayed release of awarded ARRA funding, compounded by the need to hire and properly train a new workforce and adopt new policies and procedures to operate efficiently, contributed to less desirable outcomes for some programs. However, in many cases, CEDA utilized its network of partners to leverage resources and collaborated with the Marketing Department to optimize community outreach and ultimately meet the needs of increased client demand. Community (CSBG) Services Block Grant Head Start/Early Head Start CEDA was charged with implementing all CSBG ARRA programs and expending all of the $5.9 million stimulus dollars originally awarded in May 2009 by no later than September 30, 2010. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act made a tremendous impact on existing and new CSBG programs. Under ARRA, incomeeligibility guidelines increased from 125% to 200% of the federal poverty level. This significant change meant that an increased number of individuals, families and households were able to receive CSBG services. To support the increased demand for CSBG services, funds from ARRA were used to facilitate staffing needs that allowed CEDA to maintain quality client service. As a result, more than 70 new jobs were created at CEDA in the areas of program support, counseling, supervision, and field work. Funding from ARRA initially expanded Head Start and Early Head Start services to reach an additional 192 income-eligible families, also providing support for teenage mothers and battered women. Additional ARRA funding awarded for the next program year adds an extra 100 child care slots, for a total of 292. These funds also support several crucial areas of CEDA Head Start, which enables comprehensive improvements to programming and operational output. Weatherization CEDA created jobs for 71 additional new hires in the Weatherization department. As of November 26, 2010 a total of 8,610 units had been weatherized and passed final inspection under the ARRA funded Weatherization program, which includes both single family homes and multi-unit buildings. With funding provided by ARRA, CEDA has been able to expand opportunities to minority-owned contractors and businesses. 11 Recovery at Work ARRA Stories of Success Recovery at Work ARRA Stories of Success Community Services Block Grant Lemont Snoddy, a 34 year old veteran, has been a resident of Pickney House, the CEDA BloomRich Transitional Housing for U.S. Veterans Program since August 2010. Before coming to CEDA, Snoddy worked for his family’s real estate business. With the collapse of the Housing market, the realty business closed leaving him jobless and homeless. Upon entering the Transitional Housing Program, Snoddy stated that his goals were to obtain employment and secure permanent housing, and that he needed support to help facilitate these endeavors. Each day Snoddy came into the Bloom-Rich office and to use the computers for the Educational Enrichment Program to do job searches. On August 27, 2010 Snoddy met with the ARRA funded Central Intake Specialist and inquired about services at the site and was referred to and in an ordered steps fashion, enrolled into the Employment Capacity Building and FCD programs. cured a position with Northwestern CollegeBridgeview Campus where he works as an Admissions Representative. After discovering he landed the job, Snoddy asked for help to dress for success. The Workforce and Economic Development Program offered to let him “shop” in the established work clothes closet and “suited him up” with two suits, dress shirts, ties, and a trench coat. CEDA Bloom-Rich and the entire CEDA family can be extremely proud of how our programs and services have assisted this individual working toward self-sufficiency. “I am so humbled and grateful to know that CEDA is here for me. Everyone within all the programs has been helpful, and candid with me,” said Snoddy. “I really appreciate the support from CEDA all the way to the downtown office, to help me get job ready.” CEDA Bloom-Rich staff observed that this veteran demonstrated a strong work ethic and a diligence to succeed. He attended the BloomRich Neighborhood Forum in September and the ARRA funded Veterans Program as well. He has volunteered at the site to distribute food baskets each month for seniors, and during special outreach activities like Project Share. Snoddy took advantage of many of the programs CEDA has to offer. He worked with the Employment Specialist to update his resume, and continued to go out on job interviews. After going on many interviews, Snoddy se- Lemont Snoddy at the Bloom Rich computer lab. Snoddy utilized the lab daily to search for jobs and secure housing. 13 Recovery at Work ARRA Stories of Success Early Head Start The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) is known as government funding designated for “Putting America Back to Work”. For more than 45 years CEDA’s mission has paralleled this goal by helping families reach self sufficiency through a myriad of services. CEDA’s first and largest program, Head Start, has reached much success through the implementation of the ARRA grant allowing the expansion of the Early Head Start program. What began as a means for CEDA Head Start to expand its reach and fulfill a business goal has transformed into a window of opportunity in staff development, priceless relationships and a new grassroots strategy in community enhancement. While ARRA has helped individuals recover through work and employment, all ARRA staff are renewing essential Head Start principles through the work they do every day. Through the ARRA Early Head Start program, staff members have enhanced their curriculum through trainings, like Quality Improvement and their education through certifications like the Child Development Associate certificate, which all CEDA Early Head Start staff have now obtained. These trainings not only allow teachers and staff to expand classroom ideas but also help them create an environment for excellence in education. Many staff are now certified as bilingual and are sharing this knowledge with the children as well. Health and hygiene are a cornerstone of the Head Start model and ARRA has transformed many habits of the children and their families for the better. At the Advanced Preschool in Hoffman Estates, Director Kimberly Bianchini has been amazed at the influence the ARRA Early Head Start program has made on her entire site. “Because many of our families battle with unhealthy eating habits, we were grateful as the program provided support for nutrition, sleep and exercise routines,” she said. “The nutritional focus has allowed the families to positively impact their overall health.” CEDA Early Head Start has committed to reinvesting ARRA funding in communities throughout suburban Cook County as a means of stimulating local economies but also to share the wealth of knowledge with community childcare providers. As a leader in early childhood services, CEDA Early Head Start has strategized to reach the neediest families by providing services in community childcare facilities. Sites like Advanced Preschool in Hoffman Estates and TCH in Markham, have incepted many Early Head Start principles and curricula to share with non-Head Start children at the sites. Many of these sites have received structural improvements through ARRA such as windows and “green” playgrounds, and all have received important technological upgrades to improve communication within the program as well as the community. Through ARRA funding, CEDA Early Head Start has positively impacted the lives of individuals and families by creating communities of hope and progress. Education, employment and excellent service are the values that have manifested in the communities served through ARRA Early Head Start. These are truly our recovery dollars at work. Recovery at Work ARRA Stories of Success Home Weatherization Weatherization of Evanston homes is an important part of Evanston’s Climate Action Plan and of financial importance to homeowners who are struggling to pay their utility bills. CEDA Neighbors at Work have been helping Evanston residents to make their homes more energy efficient through outreach and Home Weatherization measures. Celia Michener purchased her small Cape Cod, Evanston residence in the spring of 2009. Her home, built in 1960, needed some updates to improve energy efficiency and lower her heating and cooling bills. Ms. Michener received the weatherization grant and auditors visited her home to perform several extensive energy and safety checks including a blower door test and detections for carbon monoxide. After the audit, contractors soon came to complete the recommended work in her home. They provided Ms. Michener with two fire extinguishers, two smoke detectors, two carbon monoxide detectors, and replaced almost all incandescent light bulbs with CFL light bulbs equivalent to 60-watt incandescent bulbs. They also replaced the air ducts in the dryer and changed the valve and the gas supply line into the water heater. In two short visits all the work in Ms. Michener’s home was completed. The work done in her home was valued at $5,200, but was done at no cost to her, as with all work done under the Weatherization grant. CEDA Weatherization reduced gas usage by 22.7 percent in her home and these savings will continue year after year. 15 Children and Family Services Fatherhood Demonstration Project The Promoting Responsible Fatherhood Grant enables CEDA to engage in Healthy Marriage initiatives by providing skilled-based marriage education including time limited curriculumbased workshops or meetings for clients; moreover, counseling, mentoring and information dissemination about the benefits of marriage and two-parent involvement for children.

Ashland Calumet Park, IL 60827 Phone: (708) 371-0308 CEDA Calumet Park CEDA Calumet Park is the only CEDA location that dedicates itself first and foremost to eradicating energy and food insecurity within its service area. Research confirms that LIHEAP is a crucial resource for protecting the health of America’s youngest and most vulnerable children. And, that babies and toddlers who live in energy insecure households are more likely to be in poor health, have a history of hospitalizations, be at risk for developmental problems, and be food insecure. During the spring and summer, CEDA Calumet Park, in partnership with The Greater Chicago Food Depository and the Calumet Township Senior Center, provided space and volunteers for GCFD Producemobiles. GCFD Producemobiles are farmer’s markets on wheels that deliver fresh fruits and vegetables to low-income areas. A Producemobile volunteer packs fresh produce into a Calumet Park resident’s box.
