Salisbury Rowan Community Action Agency, Inc. <br />Section II: Resource Analysis (use additional sheets if necessary) <br />3. Resources Available: <br />a. Agency Resources: <br />Salisbury-Rowan Community Action Agency has the internal capacity to serve its families. Support from <br />three other programs internally for Youth, Weatherization, Head Start and Early Head Start allow us to <br />assess families' needs beyond what is provided by CSBG funding. Family Development Specialists and <br />WIOA Career Development Specialist collaborate on referrals within the agency. They work together to help <br />families overcome barriers and achieve goals. Internal collaboration increases the potential for success for <br />program participants while minimizing the stress for competing goals set by multiple programs. It also <br />enhances the capacity for families to receive additional services of which they were not previously aware. <br />b. Community Resources: <br />SRCAA partners with many nonprofit human service agencies, schools, colleges, community development <br />organizations, governmental entities and faith organizations to aid our participants in reaching their goals <br />and to change the way business is conducted in the community on their behalf. Managers and staff in both <br />counties actively build partnerships and work together with those partners to address poverty causes and <br />seek solutions for the eradication of the barriers to economic self - sufficiency for Rowan and Cabarrus <br />County residents. Some partners are Rowan and Cabarrus County Department of Social Services, Rowan <br />Helping Ministries, Cooperative Christian Ministries, Rowan and Cabarrus County Salvation Army and <br />various other faith based, and non - profit organization, all who help us, serve our constituents more <br />efficiently. <br />4. Resources Needed: <br />c. Agency Resources: <br />SRCAA continues to enhance its internal systems. The information technology systems used by <br />our staff provide some outcome data however there are multiple departments using different <br />systems. In January 2013, IT was outsourced to improve internal IT communication systems, <br />consequently sites external to the main office in Salisbury were better connected through email and <br />IT services. This advancement allows staff working with families to serve them more efficiently and <br />expediently. Other resources are needed to develop a database system for interface and tracking <br />the work being done with families agency wide. Reporting of outcomes to various funders would be <br />greatly enhanced if these resources come available. <br />d. Community Resources: <br />Community resources that decrease the rising numbers of homeless persons and or those in need <br />of Affordable Housing in Cabarrus and Rowan county is a resource needed. Community Service <br />providers have identified the need for increased strategies to address housing and homelessness. <br />At the SRCAA Board Retreat in October 2014, affordable housing options were a prioritized topic. <br />While the Board discussed home ownership, more immediate solutions for low- income families to <br />reduce homelessness or transiency, will be at the center of future Board Planning discussions. <br />Additional community resources, such as the newly formed Housing Advocacy Commission formed <br />by the City of Salisbury will try to develop a community -wide strategy to end homelessness.
