1. Strategic Thinking for Long-Term Solutions

a. Please describe an agency strategy which addresses a long-term solution to a persistent problem affecting members of the low-income community. Address the following questions:

i. How did the agency identify the community need? ii. How were CSBG funds used to plan, manage, and/or develop the approach? iii. What local partners were involved, and how did each contribute to the program? iv. What outcome indicators did the agency use to measure success? v. What outcomes have resulted in FY 2011? If no outcomes yet, when?

New Opportunities, Inc. has been exploring intentional ways of empowering customers and allowing customers to discover their voice in the community. In reviewing the agency’s service delivery model an internal planning team of agency front line staff, supervisory, staff, and senior management to look at the continuum of services provided to customers and to review a progression for customers along this continuum. During the past year the planning team along with community partners (Community College, Faith Based Agencies, Private Sector Businesses, State agencies (Children and Families & Corrections), and program customers focused on the designing of the final step along this continuum which focuses on leadership development. This leadership development level is for customers who have identified long term family goals and recognized the assets they possess. This level includes an 8 module education program which focuses on system issues impacting the low income community, hidden rules of class, public speaking, and self awareness. The Planning team has developed a timeline for implementation to begin in May of 2012. Some of the indicators that will be tracked include: income gains, asset gains, increase in connection to community resources, and increased representation on local advisory committees by participants. The team has set the target to have a group of 40 individuals involved at this level by December 31, 2012.

2. Delivering High-Quality, Accessible, and Well-Managed Services

a. Please describe what you consider to be the top management accomplishment achieved by your State CSBG office during FY 2011. Show how responsible, informed leadership led to effective and efficient management of the CSBG program.

Over the last year New Opportunities, Inc. (NOI) has reorganized and enhanced its integrated service delivery model with the establishment of a Family Development Center in Waterbury. The Family Development Center is a seamless array of high quality, coordinated family development services including: intake and screening, comprehensive assessment, effective system of goal setting for families (with reportable outcome measures), coordination of community services, advocacy, ongoing monitoring and assessment (utilizing motivational and empowerment methods).

This new system allows for faster, organized service for our clients and families which overall allows for higher standards and more efficiency. This new system was developed with the customer in mind. The entire program,


including design, structure and software focuses on "customer flow". Our goal was to create an atmosphere where "paper moves, not people".

Several key components are included in this concept such as: home foreclosure and eviction prevention program, energy assistance program, bi-lingual occupational training, certified nurse assistance training, supportive housing, Connecticut identification program, birth certificate program and state benefits assistance.

In addition to the new intake system we are offering community workshop and training program which consists of a five phase process. This process is a series of activities related to empowerment, community-building and healthy interdependence, wellness and self-perception. In addition to the personal development we include skill development workshops focused on financial education, conflict resolution, communication, parenting skills, development and parent-child relationship building, early childhood education and self evaluation and life skills. During our collaboration with the families we focus on how to rebuild their credit, manage their monthly finances, eliminate outstanding debt, and build a savings. Participants attend one-on-one sessions with a certified housing and credit counselor, as well as monthly financial literacy and core belief training workshops.

b. Please describe what you consider to be the top three management accomplishments achieved by your agencies during FY 2011. Show how responsible, informed leadership and effective, efficient processes led to high-quality, accessible, and well-managed services.

New Opportunities, Inc (NOI) most recent accomplishment is the development of our new software program that has the capacity to track all outcomes for a customer. In an effort to become more efficient and customer friendly, NOI made the commitment to developing software that would give us the ability to track all information about a client or family and determine needs and strengths in one central database. Overall this software will make us more efficient, reduce duplicative work and allow our case mangers to react to client matters at a faster pace.

During the development phase of this process we created a internal design committee made up of two people from the management team and case workers representing all departments and programs. This committee design was created to ensure the software was user friendly and compatible agency wide. We also hired a consultant during this process to work with management, the internal design committee and the IT company that was creating the program. Once the initial program was complete the design team began the test phase to work though any issues that their might be. The committee worked to fix these issues and address any foreseen problems. Our staff is currently being trained on this new software and we expect the program to be fully functional by the end February.

3. Mobilizing Resources to Support Innovative Solutions

a. Please describe how your agency addressed a cause or condition of poverty in the community using an innovative or creative approach. Showcase how your agency relied on mobilization and coordination of resources to help reach interim and final outcomes. Demonstrate how CSBG “works” as it funds staff activities, investments, or services to meet a community need. Include the following elements:

i. Agency name (no acronyms please) ii. Program name

iii. CSBG service category


iv. Description of program (capacity, duration, targeted population, etc) v. How was the agency’s approach innovative or creative? Please be specific.

vi. Outcomes achieved (include the number of people enrolled and areas affected) vii. How were CSBG funds used? Please be specific.

viii. What local partners were involved, and how did each contribute to the program?

New Opportunities, Inc has addressed poverty in the community through our Eviction & Foreclosure Prevention Program (EFPP). This program is classified in the Housing CSBG service category. The EFPP program provides tenants and their landlords an alternative to traditional housing dispute settlement in a critically short housing market.

The Eviction and Foreclosure Prevention Program (EFPP) seeks to avert either a tenant's eviction or a homeowner's foreclosure proceedings by utilizing the skills of a trained mediator to help resolve rent or mortgage payment issues. The mediator acts as a third-party facilitator who will help develop mutually agreeable solutions to identified problems. Problems typically addressed in this kind of mediation include back rent or mortgage payments; repairs; housing code violations; and miscommunication. EFPP also supports its customers through its Rent Bank which, under appropriate circumstances, can offer eligible families funds to help pay rent or mortgage. The program targets families who are at risk of becoming homeless as the result of imminent eviction or foreclosure. CSBG funds are used to fund the staff of the Eviction and Foreclosure Prevention Program.

The following story illustrates how the EFPP Program is affecting the community:

Recently a customer (ER) came to us on October 4th for assistance with her past due rent as a result of a severe decrease in income because of being laid off. She began working approximately one month before applying for rental assistance. She owed the landlord $4,368.00. After conferencing with the landlord and the tenant the final agreement was the landlord agreed to forgive $1868.00 of the amount due, providing the tenant paid $2500 before or by Thursday, October 27, 2011. Speaking with the landlord and the tenant further, the landlord agreed to accept $1500 from the tenant by October 27 and $1000 from us. The tenant, through much effort, paid the $1500 and was able to keep her apartment. Presently she is working and is on time with her rent.

4. Providing Positive Results for Vulnerable Populations

a. Please describe one youth-focused initiative that illustrates how CSBG funding was used and coordinated with other programs and resources. Include the following elements:

i. Description of initiative ii. What local partners were involved, and how did each contribute to the program? iii. Outcomes achieved (include the number of people enrolled and areas affected) iv. How were CSBG funds used? Please be specific.

New Opportunities has operated a Youth Employment initiative over the past several years with great success. The program provides young teens (14-21) with an opportunity to gain work experience in local businesses while being paid a minimum wage salary. Over the past year we administered two programs. First, we administered a summer youth program which was 6 weeks during the summer and the participants worked for twenty hours a week at various program locations within the agency as well as other areas within the community such as area

Part I: Section D NASCSP CSBG IS 2011 Page 7


businesses, hospitals and the Waterbury Parks Department. Presently we are administering a year-round youth program for thirty participants. This program is twenty weeks long and each participant works 10 hours a week after school.

New Opportunities, Inc. goal is to maximize the skills and enthusiasm for the youth served in this project. We understand that this is the first work experience for the participants and it is critical that is a positive and fulfilling experience. Our intention is to match the youth participants into these placements based on their identified areas of interest such as: finance, banking, insurance, government, education and human services.

We have had many success stories over the years and every individual that comes through our program has a new set of skills once they are finished. Several of the success stories are much like the following story. Customer YT is a past participant of the youth employment program and recent graduate from Kennedy High School. The Youth Employment Program hired 10 Kennedy students to work at M.H. Moore Childcare Center beginning in the spring of 2011. The ten youth had expressed interest in education and worked closely with teachers and aides. YT became such a valued asset at the center she was offered a full time position. Today she is happily employed and doing what she always wanted to do, work with children. Opportunities like this would not have happened for YT and hundreds of others if it was not for this Youth Employment Program.

b. Please describe one senior-focused initiative that illustrates how CSBG funding was used and coordinated with other programs and resources. Include the following elements:

i. Description of initiative ii. What local partners were involved, and how did each contribute to the program? iii. Outcomes achieved (include the number of people enrolled and areas affected) iv. How were CSBG funds used? Please be specific.

New Opportunities, Inc (NOI) has developed a program titled "Comprehensive Outreach Project for Elders" (COPE) which offers assistance to seniors in identifying and completing applications for appropriate government programs in healthcare, housing, nutrition and several other forms of subsidy. The COPE staff concentrates its efforts on easing the delivery of services to the elderly, particularly to homebound individuals who find it difficult or impossible to access services through other means. COPE staff may help the client learn if you are also eligible for several programs including: CT Prescription Assistance Program, Medicare Assignment Program, Tax relief programs, Qualified Medicare Beneficiary Program, Senior Aide Program, National Service Corps Volunteer Program, AT&T Lifeline, Senior Nutrition Services including Meals On Wheels, Senior Dine and Senior Cafe, transportation and Health Insurance Counseling and Assistance Program.

One program specifically that we have had great success with is our Tax Relief Program for elderly individuals that are home owners and renters. Our staff has been trained by the Office of Policy Management to work with elderly people that meet the income requirements to apply for rebates on their taxes. We focus on senior housing units/apartments and schedule hours at their facility to make it as easy as possible for these renters. We have been praised by many of the city and town tax assessors in our region for these efforts which makes their jobs easier. This past year we were able to assist 665 individuals receive an average rebate of $500.
