Salisbury Rowan Community Action Agency, Inc. <br />SRCAA will continue to provide various educational workshops and training mechanisms to <br />empower low- income families and individuals. The overall goal of SRCAA is to assist low- income <br />individuals to gain a sense of ownership and a stake in their community while strengthening their <br />families. The agency will continue to be an active member of state and national associations that <br />advocate on behalf of low- income families to eradicate poverty. <br />4. Describe how your agency plans to make more effective use of, coordinate and form partnerships <br />with other organizations and programs including: State welfare reform efforts; public and private <br />resources; religious organizations, charitable groups, and community organizations. <br />SRCAA staff, program managers and the Executive Director participate on relevant Boards, <br />Committees and planning entities in both Rowan and Cabarrus Counties such as the NC <br />Workforce Development Board, and sponsored managers and partners meetings which include <br />Department of Social Services' managers, the Salisbury and East Spencer Housing Authority <br />partner meetings, Goodwill Industries' Business Advisory Board, Goodwill Industries' and Wal -Mart <br />sponsored Operation Good Jobs partner meetings, the Project Re- Entry, and Project Safe partners <br />meetings to name a few. Our agency will continue to increase our visibility and our impact by <br />forming new partnerships with organizations and continuing to host Community Forums. <br />Additionally in this program year, SRCAA commenced a partnership with the Veterans <br />Administrations (VA) Medical Center in an effort to assist veterans referred through the <br />Compensated Work Therapy (CWT) program. Also partnering in the effort is NC Workforce <br />Development Veteran's Representatives. SRCAA and the VA Medical Center are progressing <br />towards finalizing the partnership through a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). <br />SRCAA also solidified several other partnerships with formal MOU's for both Rowan and Cabarrus <br />County that include The Department of Social Services and several for profit entities to help meet <br />the needs of participants such as: Dollar General, O'Reilly's Auto Parts, and Homewood Suites <br />(providing reduced rates for homeless families). These partnerships validate how relationships and <br />collaborations between public - private and nonprofit organizations can address and reduce barriers <br />to poverty for community residents. <br />Finally, SRCAA is progressing towards identifying and partnering with already established Latino <br />organizations in our two service counties and other non - profit and public entities that have Hispanic <br />families as their consumers. Forums, advertisement, word -of- mouth, Heritage and Community <br />events sponsored by SRCAA and other organizations will be targeted to increase and improve <br />those partnerships with the goal of enrolling more Latino families. The addition of the multicultural <br />consultant during the 2014 -2015 program year added a dimension of active and increased <br />recruitment of 50 Hispanic families who were waitlisted in our program. <br />5. Describe how your agency will establish linkages between governmental and other social services <br />programs to assure the effective delivery of such services to low- income individuals, to avoid the <br />duplication of such services and to fill identified gaps in services, through the provision of <br />information, referrals, case management and follow -up consultations. <br />Collaboration with our local Departments of Human Services, Divisions of Workforce Development, <br />Rowan Helping Ministries, Cooperative Christian Ministries, Goodwill Industries, the Salvation <br />Army, and various faith -based and nonprofit organizations, enables SRCAA to serve, refer and <br />minimize the duplication of services. By sitting on committees such as the Workforce Development <br />Board monthly, staff are keenly aware of services provided by other agencies and organizations. <br />Fiscal Year 2016 -17 Community Services Block Grant Application <br />Page 10 of 28 Attachment number 2 \n <br />F -11 Page 296 <br />
