Salisbury Rowan Community Action Agency, Inc. <br />An example of preventing the duplication of services is the utilization of Cooperative Extensions <br />and Health Departments to provide food, nutrition and health service trainings. Goodwill Industries <br />and Rowan Cabarrus Community College provide resume preparation, occupational skills <br />trainings, and certification trainings to our participants in a collaborative effort to assist them. By <br />continuing to collaborate with other human service agencies, this helps to close any service gaps in <br />SRCAA's service areas. <br />SRCAA is closing service gaps internally as well by making internal collaborations for dual <br />enrollments more intentional. For example: Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA) <br />participants and Head Start parents who are eligible for CSBG services are enrollees of the <br />program. Likewise, CSBG participant's eligible youth are enrollees of WIOA and Head Start. <br />Internal staffs and external agencies consult and execute service strategies to ensure the needs of <br />the families are met. In real time, there can effectively be several persons assigned to one family. <br />By investing time in case conferencing, and strategizing, service duplication is eliminated, and the <br />chances that families are less overwhelmed and able to achieve attainable goals in addition to <br />meeting the requirements of multiple organizations are increased. <br />6. Provide a description of how your agency will support innovative community and neighborhood - <br />based initiatives related to the purposes of the Community Services Block Grant (fatherhood <br />initiatives and other initiatives with the goal of strengthening families and encouraging effective <br />parenting). <br />SRCAA continues to participate in community -wide coalition- building and resource development to <br />meet the needs of individuals and families and reduce barriers to family and community growth. At <br />the beginning of the school year, parents sign a partnership agreement that they will be fully <br />involved with their children, and set goals for their family. This gives low- income families the <br />capability to make decisions, initiate programs, and obtain resources to encourage stronger <br />families in our area. Parent trainings are also offered in areas such as: Parenting skills, child and <br />health development, preparation of food, and child abuse and neglect. By offering these services, <br />parents' skills are strengthened and parents understand the responsibility they have to their <br />children. SRCAA continues to provide support to families as they learn new skills. <br />Internally, SRCAA is making an Intentional effort to train Family Development Specialists of Head <br />Start in the Parent, Family and Community Engagement Framework. The ultimate goal of the <br />framework is to ensure families understand what school readiness is. One way to improve and <br />enhance the families' in Head Start will be to ensure they are enrolled in the Family Self Sufficiency <br />program. Imminently, Family Development Specialist will train families in core competencies of <br />parenting and school readiness. SRCAA will also be in conversation with the National Fatherhood <br />Initiative (NFI) to increase father - focus. Family Services (CSBG) will partner with Head Start to <br />improve the way fathers are treated as integral family members in goal the goal attainment <br />process. <br />7. Describe activities that your agency has undertaken or plans to undertake, on an emergency basis, <br />for the provision of such supplies and services, nutritious foods and related services, as may be <br />necessary to counteract conditions of starvation and malnutrition among low- income individuals. <br />Salisbury Rowan Community Action Agency, Inc ( SRCAA). staff ensures that income eligible <br />participants are enrolled in Food and Nutrition Services through the Department of Social Services. <br />In addition, SRCAA has established partnerships with local food banks, churches, and nonprofit <br />organizations for the purpose of providing participants referrals for emergency food assistance. <br />Fiscal Year 2016 -17 Community Services Block Grant Application <br />Page 11 of 28 Attachment number 2 \n <br />F -11 Page 297 <br />
