Describe the poverty cause(s) in detail in the community with appropriate statistical data. <br />Explain why the problem exists. Identify the segment of the population and give the <br />number of people experiencing the problem. Explain how the persons are adversely <br />affected. <br />Rowan and Cabarrus Counties has experienced several factory closings over the past couple of <br />years. This has impacted our service area tremendously and has caused the unemployment rate to <br />soar. The current unemployment rate for Rowan County is 11.3° or seven thousand seven hundred <br />and sixty one (7,761) people that are receiving benefits and the rate for Cabarrus County is IT/ "r <br />seven thousand six hundred and sixty people (7,660). The homeless rate has also increased, with <br />people migrating in from other service area which had made our shelters over - crowded. This impact <br />has caused families to live in cars, abandoried homes or wherever they can find shelter. Rowan <br />County has ninety seven (97) people that are homeless and three hundred and eighty one (181) <br />families living in at risk housing. Cabarrus County has one hundred and forty six people (146) that <br />are homeless and one hundred and sixty five (165) families living in at risk housing. <br />Families are at risk because of lack of jobs, education, and limited job skills. Over the last year <br />Rowan County has experienced two hundred and seventy six (276) drop outs and Cabarrus County <br />has had two hundred and fifteen (215). This group of people along with the homeless, unemployed <br />and underemployed are at risk of violence, drugs, alcohol, have poor decision making skills, and <br />cannot meet the basic needs for their family. <br />Salisbury-Rowan Community Action Agency, Inc. feels that it is necessary to operate the Self <br />Sufficiency Program so that we are able to address the issue in the forefront and challenge families <br />to become self - sufficient. We want our families to have the opportunity to live in the housing of <br />their choice, obtain education, job training skills, gain meaningful employment, and become assets <br />to their community. <br />Section II: Resource Analysis (use additional sheets if necessary) <br />3. Resources Available: <br />Agency Resources: Salisbury-Rowan Community Action Agency will partner with Rowan and <br />Cabarrus County Department of Social Services, Rowan Helping Ministries, Cooperative Christian <br />Ministries, Rowan and Cabarrus County Salvation Army and various other faith based, and non- <br />profit organization, so that we are able to serve our clients more efficiently. <br />Fiscal Year 2012 -13 Community Services Block Grant Application <br />Page 12 of 24 Attachment number 1 <br />F -7 Page 190 <br />
