Annual Report
2015
The Ohio Association of Community Action Agencies (OACAA) exists to support, unify, and strengthen the Community Action Network in Ohio. Serving the needs of low-income families and individuals, Ohio’s forty-eight Community Action Agencies provide resources and opportunities to alleviate poverty and help all Ohioans become fully self-sufficient. Each independent nonprofit agency is locally controlled and provides services unique to their communities so that low-income households can overcome their unique barriers. Agencies take a holistic approach to not only assist with the emergency needs of today but to build a foundation for long-term success tomorrow. Our network employs 6,000 people who administer over $450 million and serve nearly 800,000 Ohioans annually. Our 50-year history of helping people and changing lives not only seeks solutions to strengthen families but also communities.
Helping low-income Ohioans stabilize their households, create opportunities that enable self-sufficiency, and alleviate poverty is what the Community Action Network does. Providing our network of agencies training, technical assistance, and other supports to help them achieve that mission is what OACAA does. We listen to our membership and strive to provide the best supports to help Ohio’s Community Action Agencies be the strongest and most reliable anti-poverty network in the state. Throughout this report, you will read about the programs, trainings, and outcomes from the association and our member agencies that helped over 713,000 low-income Ohioans meet their goals. You will learn about training and technical assistance that reached over 870 Community Action Professionals which increased expertise or agency capacity. And, you will learn about the tools made available to agencies and local communities, such as the Self-Sufficiency Calculator. OACAA strives to unify our network by listening to their needs, developing tools and training, and connecting our peers from whom we can learn, grow, and expand our reach. In addition to training and technical assistance, the staff of eight talented and dedicated people work together to provide testimony to legislators, develop reports and tools, assist agencies with communications, administer the online national resource VirtualCAP, and much more. We tell the stories, we share the successes, and we lobby the legislators because we are proud of the accomplishments, the innovation, and the passion our network takes with them each day to help the people who need it the most. We thank all of our supporters for their continued encouragement and drive to help our network succeed. Our success is a direct result of the agencies in our network and the great work they do every day. We hope this annual report illustrates our commitment to the Community Action mission and to all Ohioans.
Philip E. Cole, Executive Director
In 1964, President Johnson said about the War on Poverty, “Our aim is not only to relieve the symptom of poverty, but to cure it and, above all, to prevent it.� At that moment, he set in motion his vision of what he called, The Great Society, and what would become known as the largest poverty fighting network in America: Community Action. Since that time, local communities have joined together to fight that war. While that war has not yet been won, we continue to fight and win battles every day. We win by helping families overcome housing instability. We win by educating both children and adults so they can succeed in their education, gain skills, and secure living-wage employment. We win by continuing the fight against drug addiction. And we win by encouraging our customers to find their way out of poverty. The over 6,000 Community Action professionals in Ohio win because they have the drive to succeed, the knowledge and experience to help others, and the supports to drive that passion and knowledge further. As President of the OACAA Board of Trustees and Executive Director of Gallia-Meigs Community Action Agency, I see that passion in our network every day. Whether it be in the excitement of our case managers who helped a customer secure employment, or seeing the faces of staff as they exit one of the excellent training sessions at an OACAA conference, our network is enthusiastic about helping people and changing lives. Throughout this annual report, you will learn just some of the amazing successes and outcomes that have occurred over the past year. The OACAA staff continues to color outside the lines and bring inspiring material and tools to keep the momentum going for us all. On behalf of the board, I thank the staff of the Association and of the forty-eight agencies for continuing to serve Ohioans with the dedication and perseverance that can be found only in Community Action.
Tom Reed, President of the Board of Trustees Executive Director, Gallia-Meigs Community Action, Inc.
Community Action changes people’s lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live. We care about the entire community, and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other.

Throughout 2015, OACAA hosted seven conferences and events and completed twenty-eight on-site trainings for Community Action professionals. Nearly 900* professionals received training or technical assistance for ROMA, strategic planning, Bridges Out of Poverty and much more. The Association also hosted the first RPIC Region V Innovation Conference to develop and share new and innovative ideas and techniques with Community Action Agencies and associations in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. From Family Development Specialist certification to weatherization conference tracks, OACAA strives to provide relevant and valuable professional development to the over 6,000 Community Action staff across the forty-eight Ohio agencies. By expanding opportunities to learn, grow, and further develop skills, not only is our network strengthened but together we move forward in our mission to alleviate poverty.

Dr. Diana M. Pearce speaks during the press conference releasing the Self-Sufficiency Standard for Ohio 2015 and Exploring Economic Security Pathways in Ohio reports.
OACAA continues to provide resources for our members. Tools such as the online self-sufficiency calculator and reports like the State of Poverty in Ohio provide easily accessible, county-specific data to aid in family development, grant writing, research and more. Not only do we provide resources tailored to Ohio’s members, the Association actively engages elected officials, both locally and nationally, to make a positive impact on our agencies thereby helping more low-income Ohioans reach their fullest potentials. By testifying at public hearings, sharing successes of our agencies and customers, and actively reporting impacts of pending legislation and how they affect our mission of alleviating poverty, we continue to promote a unified Community Action presence and share the strengths of our network.

02 RoundUp Subscribers
For over a decade, VirtualCAP has maintained a database of program and operations resources from across the country, specifically for Community Action Agencies. By providing best practices information, program models, funding opportunities, Standards resources, and much more , in an easily accessible online data, agencies have been able to share their innovative approaches to alleviating poverty and peer agencies are given opportunities to adapt models to meet the unique needs of their own communities. In 2015, the VirtualCAP program management transitioned to OACAA from the Virginia Community Action Partnership where it was created in 2002. With that transition, the VirtualCAP website was updated to a more user-friendly design to increase ease-of-use for visitors. In addition, the subscription-based VirtualCAP RoundUP was created to increase the project’s sustainability in order to continue its valuable operation and provide additional resources for the network of over 1,000 Community Action Agencies across the country.
In partnership with Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and WSOS Community Action, OACAA completed the Agricultural Labor Camp Improvement Program (ALCIP). ALCIP provided grants up to $25,000 for housing construction, renovation, or infrastructure improvements for owners and operators of existing or new agricultural labor camps in Ohio. During the 2015 holiday season, OACAA also provided mini-grants to member agencies to help make an impact for low-income families throughout Ohio who are working to improve their own unique situations. Agencies utilized the funds to provide direct assistance in a variety of ways, some of which included holiday food vouchers and gifts, hats, gloves, and boots, mortgage assistance, car repairs, gas cards, and more.

Community Action helps people and changes lives. Through unique and innovative approaches and programs developed for each unique community’s needs, our network aims to eliminate barriers that prevent low-income individuals from reaching their fullest potential and achieving self-sufficiency. Community Action stabilizes customers then continues with steps toward self-sufficiency. While some households may simply have a short-term need, others may need longer-term solutions like job skills training or budget counseling. Because no two agencies are alike, and no two households are identical, it can be difficult to classify all of our customer’s successes into one category. That is why the Community Action Network uses ROMA, or Results Oriented Management and Accountability, to categorize success. Divided into six goals, ranging from emergency services to workforce development, ROMA allows us to tell our collective Community Action story and illustrate how we tear down walls to enable success. The agency outcomes you will see throughout this annual report include data from Ohio’s forty-eight Community Action Agencies who serve all eightyeight counties in the state in their own unique and effective ways.

overcame employment barriers, increased wage, decreased public assistance
One piece to climbing out of poverty and into self-sufficiency is increasing household income. Through education and training, customers can gain valuable job skills, become more marketable candidates, and secure and maintain employment. Through GED education classes, college prep services, industry specific training, and even resume writing and interview training, Community Action customers have found their paths to living-wage employment and decreased public assistance.

A higher income is not the only way to move out of poverty. Households must also know how to manage their budgets. One out of three Ohioans lack the savings necessary to keep them out of poverty longer than three months in the event of an unexpected financial crisis. The loss of a job, a medical emergency or even an unexpected repair to their primary transportation can cause a family to dip into poverty. Once there, it is much more difficult to climb out. Bills stack up and finances can quickly spiral out of control. Through budgeting and financial management training, customers learn how to manage their income, pay their bills, save for emergencies or even save to purchase a reliable vehicle or a home of their own. By stabilizing housing and transportation to and from work Community Action stabilizes the family.
For families and individuals living in poverty, long-term planning can be an overwhelming task. When your immediate concern is finding the next meal for your family or yourself, or facing the imminent threat of losing heat for your home during the coldest days of the year, thoughts and planning remain only in the present. To combat this, Community Action Agencies take a holistic approach to helping low-income Ohioans. Emergency services like food, rent, and utility assistance can help with immediate needs, though through case management, agencies are able to dig deeper to help determine underlying causes. Did the family lose income because of job loss? Is there a medical need causing financial hardship? Perhaps the household’s furnace needed replacement or a car needed repaired so the family could get to work or school and an emergency savings was not enough to cover it all. Nearly half of Ohio’s households are in the same or similar situations. Emergency services give hope to families and the case management that goes with it encourages each customer to continue fighting to overcome their current situations.

Without a healthy mind and body, taking care of life’s other necessities can be impossible. What may seem like an insignificant co-pay to many can actually prevent low-income Ohioans from seeking the care they need, causing increased challenges down the road which can interfere with work or taking care of their families and home. Several agencies throughout Ohio are able to provide emergency medical care, prescription medication, immunizations, and even help with adequate nutrition to prevent or manage medical crises and promote healthy lifestyles.
655,498 immunizations and/or adequate nutrition services
, 1695 patients received emergency medical care
411,867 emergency utility assistance payments
20,380 households obtained or maintained safe and secure housing
Ensuring the basic needs of Ohioans is an important step to alleviating poverty. Food, shelter, and clothing top the list of basic needs and by securing and stabilizing households in safe, decent, and affordable housing, Community Action can continue in the direction toward self-sufficiency. CAAs in Ohio offer a number of different programs aimed at obtaining or keeping a family in their home and ensuring that it is a safe place to live. Programs like emergency utility assistance can keep a family’s heat or electricity on when the unpredictable Ohio weather strikes and emergency home repairs can keep a water heater going or even a furnace working. Other programs like rent or mortgage assistance provide families emergency relief due to a loss of income or another qualifier. Nearly 20,400 Ohioans were assisted with either obtaining or maintaining housing and over 400,000 received utility assistance to keep them safe.
180,941 105,348 children were prepared for school
social/emotional care, youth development, parenting skills
By instilling a love for learning in children and by giving them a jumpstart on education, kids are more prepared and engaged in school and can take with them a solid foundation to succeed. By engaging parents in that process, they can continue the path and create stronger opportunities for success in school and life. Many CAAs across the state participate in early childhood programs such as Head Start, Early Head Start, or others to engage families and their children with core skills that will help them reach their fullest potential. Whether families start out young or grandparents step in as caregivers later in life, early childhood initiatives provide education services, health and nutrition services, and link families to needed community services. By providing social and emotional care, youth development, parenting skills and other supports, families not only develop foundational academic and social skills but their growth and development is also enhanced to propel them to great achievements.
Community development projects increase or safeguard threatened community resources or services to low-income Ohioans saving jobs, housing units, healthcare facilities, and more. Because of the initiatives of CAAs, over 600,000 resources were preserved or were increased, and 177 new community development projects were completed. Preserving resources for struggling households is necessary to maintain the momentum to reach self-sufficiency. Community development programs have provided opportunities for low-income people to get to and from their jobs and medical appointments through transportation initiatives, provided placement opportunities in affordable child care facilities for low-income children, and increased vocational, literacy, life skills training and post-secondary enrollment.

Over a 1.3 million hours of volunteer time was donated to agencies across Ohio to contribute and support the agencies’ missions and their communities. Because CAAs are 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations, are locally controlled, and develop and administer programs unique to their service area, volunteers are directly affecting their neighbors, their children, their communities. From sorting and arranging a clothing pantry, seeking donations, or even volunteering on as a board member or Policy Council representative, the nearly 41,000 people continue to impact Community Action’s ability to implement local programs to create solutions for low-income Ohioans. Each volunteer makes a positive impact on our network’s ability to be successful.
