Documentation of progress toward goal: The Employment Services area <br />will closely work with Child Welfare to document progress toward this goal, <br />utilizing their Informational system. <br /> <br />B. County Developed Perfermaace Outcome Goals <br /> <br />1. Prevention of Welfare Dependency <br /> <br />a. Activities/support services that will enable us to meet this goal: The <br /> · department will continue the New Focus diversion program to meet this goal. <br /> New potential applicants requesting WFFA will be diverted to Employment <br /> Services Intake, where they will have a full family comprehensive assessment <br /> done. Once this is completed, there will be efforts made by the social worker <br /> and other agency staff to meet their short-term needs through financial <br /> assistance, counseling, as well as on-site employment assistance provided by <br /> ESC staff. The proposed increase in Diversion Assistance payments to <br /> $1,200.00 will assist in this effort. Diverted clients, as always, are encouraged <br /> to apply for medicaid and food stamps. Wc do recognize and take very <br /> seriously the need for dependent coverage for working families and those <br /> seeking work in the area of medical insurance. Many small employers, in <br /> particular, provide partly subsidized group insurance, but in many cases, it is <br /> entirely up to the employee to provide insurance for their dependent children. <br /> In Cabarrus County, we are making strong efforts in providing outreach for <br /> NC Health Choice for Children through a Covering Kids grant. <br />b. Who will carry these services out: These services will be provided by DSS <br /> staff, ESC, UFS, CCM, and other extemal providers. <br />c. Location of these services: Services will primarily be located at DSS, but <br /> referrals may be made to outside resources. <br />d. Measurement of outcomes: The department already has internal tool for <br /> measuring this, and will continue to utilize this. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Increased Number of Individual Development Accounts (IDA's) Established to <br />Assist Working Families <br /> <br />Activities/support services that will enable us to meet this goal: Our goal <br />is to expand IDA's to not only assist families in securing affordable housing, <br />but to assist the children in the household in saving for post-secondary <br />education or training, Our plan is to work closely with Cabarms County <br />Community Development Corporation, our partnering agency for IDA's, to <br />expand this program. We plan t° develop partnerships and grants for <br />mentoring and tutoring to further prepare students up through high school for <br />post-secondary training. Staff is presently being sent to state training on <br />IDA's in order to assist us in being better prepared to meet this challenge. <br />This will involve closely assessing families to determine needs and their long- <br />term goals. <br /> <br />12 <br /> <br /> <br />
