Over the past number of years I have used this message to report on our

organization’s accomplishments in the areas of strategic planning, funding,

services, financial position, program growth, staff development, quality and

overall accountability. I am pleased to report that we are both strong and

making great progress on all of these fronts as we continuously strive to

become an excellent organization.

As we celebrate our 45th year of service I am pleased to dedicate this annual

report to two groups of people who do not get the recognition and credit

they so rightly deserve. These two groups are the very people we exist to

serve and the group of professionals who provide the vital support and

services they need. They are, our Clients and our Staff.

Included in this year’s report are our annual numbers as an indication of

what we are doing and how much of it. Whether it be in financial terms or

demographics, these figures give a sense of our accomplishments. These

numbers show both the economic impact and savings the services we offer

provide. They also show the tremendous level of need that exists

throughout the six counties we serve in Northwest Indiana.

But numbers alone don’t show the real story. The real story is the

challenges that each individual and family faces and their accomplishments to

become as independent as possible. The real story is the dedication and

commitment of each of our staff as they use their professional skills to help

improve the quality of life one client/family at a time. Throughout this

annual report we have attempted to show examples of what is happening

every day, countless times over within the lives of our own families, co-

workers, friends and neighbors. We have attempted to give a glimpse of

what our staff confront and accomplish each and every day.

There are many groups and individuals who play a vital part in the

accomplishments of our organization. As in the past, we acknowledge and

thank them again in this year’s report. However this year’s report is a tribute

to our Clients and Staff who together accomplish amazing feats. Together

they provide hope and improve the quality of life where we live and work,

one person at a time. On behalf of all who support and have a stake in

Northwest Indiana Community Action, I am proud to present this year’s

annual report and dedicate it to those we serve and to those who serve.

Northwest Indiana Community Action

(NWICA) was incorporated as a Community

Action Agency, a private not-for-profit in

February 1965 to serve low-income residents

of Lake County.

As a Community Action Agency, NWICA

plans and executes a variety of programs that

serve the unique needs of low-income

individuals, seniors, differently-abled individuals

and their families.

We were designated as the Area I Agency on

Aging in May 1974 by the Indiana Commission

on Aged & Aging to carry out a Federal and

State mandate for planning, development and

coordination of a network of services that

benefit older adults and people of all ages with

disabilities at risk of institutionalization in the

counties of: Lake, Porter, Pulaski, Jasper,

Newton and Starke.

In February 2006, NWICA became the 2-1-1

Information and Assistance Call Center for the

rural counties of Jasper, Newton, Starke &

Pulaski as an endorsed partner of Indiana2-1-1.

On December 19, 2006, NWICA officially

launched its 2-1-1 service in Lake and Porter

Counties.

In 2010 we continued the tradition of caring

and service to Northwest Indiana and thank our

staff, partners, vendors, clients & community.

We look forward to the opportunity to serve

over the next forty-five years and beyond.

Celebrating 2010 NWICA Staff:

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)

NWICA received an additional $3.4 million

through the American Recovery and

Reinvestment (Stimulus) Act for programs and

services in 2009-2010.

According to the Indiana Community Action

Association, the money secured through the

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has

helped Community Action Agencies throughout

Indiana touch the lives of more than 450,000

Hoosiers in all 92 counties.

NWICA’s Weatherization Team made 679

homes more energy efficient through normal

program activities and additional ARRA Weatherization Program funding.

Our ARRA Summer Youth Employment Program

connected youth seeking summer employment with

business and agencies seeking summertime help.

The Summer Youth Employment Program not only

created jobs it helped over 580 Northwest Indiana youth

develop job skills, build their résumés, and become more financially literate through mandatory

workshops.

The Emergency Assistance Program was expanded with ARRA Funding in 2010 to over 990

households to avert eviction, make payments on disconnected utilities or aid in other emergencies.

addresses and eases the misery of poverty, disability and aging

Energy and Weatherization Programs have multiple

economic, environmental, health and safety benefits.

While these programs are important for everyone who

receives them, they can be especially important for some.

For older Americans, the disabled, children and those with

other health complications being uncomfortable due to a

non functioning home is more than an inconvenience- it’s

potentially life threatening.

Whether piling on blankets because you are too

cold or standing in front of an open refrigerator

craving some relief from the heat; Energy

Assistance and Weatherization Programs were able

to ease that misery for over 49,633 households in

the past two years.

People have a right to stay in their

own homes as long as possible. Home

and Community Based Services help

to make that happen.

Below are some surprising statistics.

Due to funding limitations, Home and

Community Based Services (HCBS)

were not as readily available in 2010

as in previous years, resulting in an

additional 690 Pre-Admission

Screenings to place individuals in

nursing facilities.

If those 690 individuals had the

benefit of HCBS, the cost would have

been approximately $5,181,900.00.

Their care in a nursing facility

translates to approximately

$28,980,000.00.

A tax supported increase of

$23,798,100.00!

In 2010, NWICA served 876

customers through the Medicaid

Waiver program which allows

individuals who qualify for nursing

facilities to receive their care in their

homes. Saving tax payers over

$36,000,000.00 last year!

This represents a real human impact

and cost to the taxpayer.

Imagine the misery of being uncomfortable

in your own home!

Now, imagine the anxiety when you realize that your

health or the health of your child is at stake.

The Summer of 2010 produced extreme heat

waves, above average humidity and severe

thunderstorms over the Midwest.

This was particularly dangerous for Tommy.

Tommy was fourteen in 2010 and while most

children his age were at the swimming pool, he was

at Riley Children’s Hospital undergoing surgery for

his ailing heart.

A requirement for discharge from Riley’s was an air

conditioner unit for his bedroom. Tommy’s mother

was a low-wage earner and she did not have the

extra money for this purchase.

Although Tommy did not meet regular program

requirements; NWICA team member of 33 years,

Gloria Robinson (pictured below), contacted

IHCDA to request special approval for an air

conditioning unit.

She was successful and Tommy was able to return

to recover comfortably, in his own home in Gary,

Indiana.

2010 remained a tough year for most, even though

‘The Great Recession’ officially ended. Foreclosures left

many seeking housing assistance and layoffs made it

difficult to pay for utilities or medications.

NWICA’s 2-1-1 Call Center and Online

Resource Directory were on the front lines;

fielding over 43,400 calls from those in need.

In most cases, callers have more than one

need. Accredited Call Specialists have the

ability and know how to help callers identify

and begin to solve all unmet needs. The top

five reasons that callers pick up the phone

seeking help are: Suitable Housing, General

Information, Food or Meal Assistance,

Healthcare and Household needs.

Situations can change rapidly, causing an

individual or family to seek assistance. A flood,

layoff, illness or death, or a divorce can send

families reeling.

But there is hope and NWICA’s 2-1-1

Information & Assistance Call Center is the first

step towards finding that help.

NWICA also operates an Aging & Disability

Resource Center (ADRC). In 2010, the Call Center

provided in-depth options counseling to 7,291 people.

1,932 full assessments for in-home services were

completed which resulted in 184 fewer people into

Nursing Homes for Indiana Seniors wanting to remain in

their own home. 601 Indiana Seniors received much

needed in-home services, which allowed them to remain

among their friends, families and neighbors.

Jessica was 29 years old when she finally contacted

NWICA in 2008, three years after she had been

diagnosed with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy.

New limitations brought serious complications for

her and her nine year old daughter. She said, if not

for her daughter, she would just stay in bed and hide

away from the world.

It was very difficult for Jessica, modest and self-

reliant, to accept help. She resisted the idea of

strangers entering her home to care for her.

Tina Vickery, NWICA Case Manager for 7 years,

worked along side Jessica to maintain her

independence, health, well-being, and dignity. Tina

helped Jessica establish a model of in-home

assistance (called Self-Directed Attendant Care). This

model of care places Jessica as the ‘employer’. She

interviewed, hired, trained, and supervised the

service providers.

Jessica’s daughter is twelve now and Jessica has

begun planning for her high school and college

education by applying for her own admission to a

university. With a computer, she can enroll in online

study and pursue the degree in fine arts that she

always wanted and may now be able to have.

‚We couldn’t handle one more thing going wrong now

there’s nothing we can do!‛

Sometimes it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Despair can set in quickly, for any of us.

Of those the NWICA serves:

62%

Well over half, are living

at below the Federal Poverty Level

(in 2010, this was $18,310 /year

for a family of three)

13%

are disabled

42%

are employed at least Part-Time

29%

receive Social Security Income

69%

Hold at least a High School Diploma

One of the strategies NWICA has adopted is that of

asset building to move low-income families from

poverty to self-sufficiency. Increasing the financial

capacity and ultimately the assets of families will help

move them out of poverty. But this is usually a

complex process.

Functioning within the economic realities of our

communities, the Asset Building strategy uses

community collaboration to provide several

coordinated and complementary services that work

together to achieve long-term change and progress

for families.

In 2010, 60.5 hours of financial literacy instruction

was provided to the community through the efforts

of the Asset Building collaborations. Four hundred

and four individuals received financial literacy

education from these events. Research indicates that

85-90% of the educational program participants in

report an improvement in their financial

management practices. They anticipate running out

of money less frequently and begin to pay bills on

time.

Jim* has a diagnosis of lumbar disc disease,

obesity/gastric bypass complications and

depression.

After a painful divorce, Jim was living alone

without any family support or contact. Jim’s day

to day activities felt increasingly more difficult.

Jim became clinically depressed. He had difficulty

taking care of himself and his home. He had an

overgrown yard and a deteriorating porch.

NWICA Options Counselor since 2007, Ingrid

Kay, worked with Jim to coordinate attendant

care, handy chore person and home delivered

meals to assist with nutrition, housework, errands

and porch repair.

NWICA’s in-home services helped the client

regain some independence and feeling of

accomplishment.

‚In the time I worked with him, he made a

complete turnaround. He is currently working

with vocational rehab and seeking employment

and he is no longer in need of services because of

his improvement.‛ Jim has also decided to give

back. He is a part time caregiver for an elderly

woman from his church. *name changed

In a land full of new technology, big cars and excess,

there is another group struggling to survive on their

own.

NWICA makes known the plight of these less

fortunate, the aging, the disabled and the poor.

NWICA delivers information to those in need, executes

programs to move low wage earners and their families

out of poverty, and empowers Older Americans to take

control of their health.

According to the US Administration on Aging (AoA),

more than one-third of adults aged 65 or older fall each

year and a disproportionate number of seniors are

affected by chronic conditions and disease.

The Outreach & Education Team at NWICA

conducted 32 outreach events and 204 Preventative

Health Activities. These included events such as the

Evidence-based Disease and Disability Prevention

Program classes, health risk assessments, counseling,

nutrition education, injury control, and medication

management.

NWICA collaborations with service providers and public

health networks to implement a wide range of programs

tailored to the needs of our local older Hoosiers.

Term Care facilities.

Ms. Monghan and her family faced the unthinkable in

2010; unable to keep up with the rent and having

exhausted all other resources, they were homeless.

When a Voucher (Housing Choice Voucher Program/

Section 8) became available, a letter of eligibility was

mailed to the last address on file. Unfortunately, the letter

came back, ‘Return to Sender’.

Fortunately Ms. Monghan was persistent! She was

determined to find a safe place for her sons to live. She

provided information on her family’s whereabouts

whenever possible. Most of the time she and her children

lived in a car.

Ms. Monghan remained optimistic and involved throughout

the process. NWICA’s Housing Specialist, Donna Elkins,

worked diligently with Ms. Monghan to find a suitable unit

for her and her family.

Housing Quality Standards Inspector since 2007,

Gezia Gordils, said, ‚...it was a very emotional

experience. Ms. Monghan continually thanked me

and NWICA because now she and her children will

no longer have to live in her vehicle.‛

Ms. Monghan and her children stayed in their new

home for the first time on May 1, 2011.

People. Not abilities, not just statistics, not situations or how

they arrived at them.

We are real people with families in the communities we serve.

NWICA cares about the entire community.

In 2010 NWICA Housing

Choice Voucher Program

(HCVP) served

773

individuals with rental assistance

for safe, affordable housing.

One of the main goals of the HCVP

is to help families become self-

sufficient. Many are also

NWICA Family Self-Sufficiency

(FSS) Program participants.

NWICA participated in a unique local and state

collaboration to address several conditions of poverty

that exist in Gary’s Midtown neighborhood. Conditions

of poverty addressed by this project include decaying

public buildings, youth crime, illegal drugs, and lack of

services for the elderly. This innovative project, headed

by the Gary Community Health Foundation, included

the adoption of Roosevelt Park Pavilion through the

Gary Park Department’s Adopt-a-Park program, a

NWICA congregate meal site and Senior Activity Center

and a public safety and intergenerational component

involving the Indiana National Guard’s Drug Demand

Response Program & the City of Gary Police

Department’s C.O.P. Program.

‘Project UPLIFT’, is an extension of the Gary Midtown

NNORC Project – a Neighborhood Naturally Occurring

Retirement Community. The Midtown NNORC Project

was created to help seniors ‚Age in Place‛ in their own

community. Seniors in the Midtown area received

assistance in the form of life alert systems, home

improvement safety repairs, chore services, and

community clean-up projects. Additional

direct services to seniors were extended

through Gary’s Department of

Community Development.

NWICA contracted with the Gary

Community Health Foundation to

operate the Congregate Meal Site which

opened its doors to the public on

December 15, 2010 just in time for a

hot and nutritious winter’s meal.

It was late December, the roads were icy and the weather

bitterly cold. Mary was in tears when she called her

NWICA Case Manager Suzanne Sebenste.

Mary is blind, she is also diabetic and she is living on a

fixed income. The friend she relied on to get her grocery

shopping was suddenly hospitalized. Mary was hungry, had

no food left, and was unable to get out to get groceries.

Suzanne attempted to find food pantries but response was

slow. Unfortunately because of the hard winter and holidays

nothing was immediately available.

Word quickly spread through NWICA and a collection was

started by the NWICA 2-1-1 Information & Assistance

Team and Case Managers. It was not a lot of money or

shelf stable food items but certainly enough to keep Mary

going until her friend came home.

After the immediate need was met, Information and

Assistance continued to explore other options for Mary, as

they do in all cases. They worked in collaboration with

several offices and agencies around NW Indiana to address

all of Mary’s concerns.

As a facilitator, NWICA actively seeks members of the

community with parallel objectives.

We have the opportunity to make more informed decisions and

work smarter when we create solutions to problems

collaboratively.
