Quasi-Judicial Zoning Decision: The special use permit requires a quasi-judicial hearing. Witnesses are to be sworn in and they are subject to cross examination. There shall be no ex parte communication without full disclosure at the hearing. The case also requires the review of four Findings of Fact from Section 74.4 of the Zoning Ordinance. Summary of Information: Currently, the subject properties contain woodlands and grassland. The property is zoned R (Residential). The applicant is proposing to install 87 RV sites in a phased development sequence. The site will also have a club house/office, a bathhouse and open areas with walking trails. The applicant plans to use City water and sewer to serve this site. The City of Roxboro has not approved the site, but approval would be required prior to obtaining a zoning permit. The applicant has requested to install a gravel drive and parking lot under Section 81-1 of the Zoning Ordinance. Each RV site will have its own parking, with fourteen additional parking spaces. The current property is 34.73 acres. The property was approved in 2004 for phases 2, 3 and 4 of Highland Place subdivision. The owner is proposing to develop 16 acres for the RV park and finish the subdivision on the remaining 18 acres. There is a 50’ buffer around the 16 acres proposed for the RV Park. Per the GIS Department, the gravel drives must be given street names. The preliminary names are shown on the site plan. The property is located within the Roanoke Watershed and is not subject to restrictions. An intermittent stream runs through the property. The applicant will be required to obtain any necessary permits through the State. The property does not lie within the 100-year special flood hazard area according to the FEMA map. 3 The Person County Land use Plan identifies the proposed site as Suburban Residential and Industrial which allows for commercial uses. Appendix O of the Land Use Plan lists goals and objectives for the County including the following: 6.1.4 – Coordinate with other public and private agencies to provide lands, facilities and programs for the enrichment of leisure activities for the citizens of Person County. 6.7 – Encourage private enterprise development of recreational facilities. Planning Staff Recommendation: Planning staff recommends that if the Board approves the request, the following conditions be placed on the special use permit: 1. The applicant is to obtain all permits and approvals necessary from the Person County GIS Department, Planning and Zoning Department, Building Inspections Department, Environmental Health Department or Roxboro Public Works Department and also obtain any permits required from the State of North Carolina. 2. The applicant shall also subdivide the parcel to match the submitted site plan for SUP-05- 18. Planning Board Recommendation: At the December 13, 2018 meeting of the Planning Board, the Board voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend denial of SUP-05-18 after determining that Findings of Fact #3 and #4 were not met due to the following reasons: 1. The Board was unsure as to what impact the proposed RV Park would have on adjacent property values; 2. The Board was concerned about the unknown water and sewer layout and solid waste management; 3. The Board was concerned about potential traffic problems; 4. The Board was not sure if a fence was needed around the perimeter of the site. Recommended Action: Vote to approve, approve with conditions or deny the special use permit. The Board also needs to address the Findings of Fact in Section 74-4 and whether this proposal is in keeping with the Person County Comprehensive Plan. The Findings of Fact listed in Section 74.4 of the Zoning Ordinance are as follows: 1. That the use will not materially endanger the public health or safety if located where proposed and developed according to the plan as submitted and approved. 2. That the use meets all required conditions and specifications. 3. That the use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property, or that the use is a public necessity, and 4. That the location and character of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and approved will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and in general conformity with the comprehensive plan.

GIS Manager, Sallie Vaughn stated an RV park is planned on parcel A58 74 off Boston Rd in the Woodsdale Township. The planned development includes six total private roads: an entrance road, a loop road, three interior roads, and one road terminating in a cul- de-sac. Several permanent structures and numerous RV lots are planned. The Ordinance Regulating Addressing and Road Naming requires roads within such a development to be named and structures to be addressed accordingly. Ms. Vaughn said the developer of a proposed RV park has provided names for each of the roads within the development:  Country Inn RV Park Rd,  Tobacco Field Loop,  Short Rows Run,  Long Rows Run,  Packhouse Run, and  Stick Barn Ct. Ms. Vaughn noted all the names are compliant with the Address Ordinance and the addition of these names required a public hearing. She further noted that the addition of these road names affects no existing addresses or residences. As required by North Carolina General Statute 153A-239.1(A), a public notice was published in the Roxboro Courier-Times. A sign advertising the public hearing was placed at the proposed roadway location approximately two weeks prior to this public hearing. There were no individuals appearing before the Board to speak in favor of or in opposition to the request to add six roadway names to the database of roadway names used for E-911 dispatching for the proposed RV Park. A motion was made by Vice Chairman Jeffers and carried 5-0 to close the public hearing for a request to add six roadway names to the database of roadway names used for E-911 dispatching for the proposed RV Park. 46 December 3, 2018 5 CONSIDERATION TO GRANT OR DENY REQUEST TO ADD SIX ROADWAY NAMES TO THE DATABASE OF ROADWAY NAMES USED FOR E-911 DISPATCHING FOR A PROPOSED RV PARK: A motion was made by Commissioner Powell and carried 5-0 to approve the request to add six roadway names: Country Inn RV Park Rd, Tobacco Field Loop, Short Rows Run, Long Rows Run, Packhouse Run, and Stick Barn Ct. to the database of roadway names used for E-911 dispatching for a proposed RV Park. INFORMAL COMMENTS: The following individual appeared before the Board to make informal comments: Former Commissioner, Tracey L. Kendrick of 717 Country Club Road, Roxboro challenged the Board to continue to move forward in the improvement of Person County; he asked they put aside personal beliefs and personal pet projects to make sure a decision for this Board was made in the best interest of all Person County residents and not for just a few, i.e., Mr. Kendrick stated his concerns that the County entering into a lease with the new owner of the Roxboro Country Club related to the costs of maintaining the property. DISCUSSION/ADJUSTMENT/APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA: A motion was made by Vice Chairman Jeffers and carried 5-0 to approve the Consent Agenda with the following items: A. Budget Amendment #11, and B. Elections Equipment and Software Lease Amendment 47 December 3, 2018 6 NEW BUSINESS: SUB-02-18 REQUEST BY RANDY ALLEN WITH SUNBELT ACQUISITIONS, LLC, FOR A SUBDIVISION CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE PENINSULA AT HYCO LAKE, CONSISTING OF 162 LOTS ON 437.72 ACRES LOCATED ON SR 1314 ZION LEVEL CHURCH ROAD IN THE RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT. THE TAX MAP & PARCEL ID NUMBERS FOR THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION ARE A13-51, A14-147 AND THE THIRD PARCEL DOES NOT HAVE A TAX MAP AND PARCEL ID NUMBER ASSIGNED; HOWEVER IT IS CONTAINED WITHIN DEED BOOK 98 PAGES 125, 135, 287 AND 373: Planning Director, Lori Oakley introduced the proposed single-family subdivision concept plan for the site with a total of 162 lots located on 437.72 acres. The subdivision will contain approximately 323.20 acres of common open space, which will be maintained by the homeowner’s association. Ms. Oakley stated there are three parcels included in the proposed subdivision and the developer has also proposed a 60’ right-of-way (Watersail Way) across Duke Progress Energy property, which will be contained within a 100’ wide easement. Currently, the subject properties are vacant and contain woodlands. The site abuts Hyco Lake and is zoned R (Residential). Ms. Oakley noted the lots will be served by individual wells and a community wastewater collection system, treatment and on-site disposal. The treated and disinfected wastewater will be irrigated on common open space in accordance with the NC Division of Water Resources regulations. Ms. Oakley further noted the minimum lot size will be 15,000 square feet and the minimum lot width will be 75 feet because of the community wastewater collection system. The developer is proposing slightly larger minimum lot sizes at 21,780 square feet (1/2 acre). Ms. Oakley said the applicant was requesting four variations / modifications to the Subdivision Regulations and to the Person County Minimum Construction Standards for Private Roads – to allow private streets within the subdivision, the use of flag lots, block lengths exceeding 2,400 feet in length and to construct streets with 45 feet of right-of-way width. 1. Private Streets - The applicant has submitted a separate variation application to allow for private streets to be constructed throughout the subdivision. All other variations / modifications can be reviewed as part of the subdivision concept plan. 2. Flag Lots - There are several flag lots proposed and they are indicated on the site plan. Flag lots are allowed per Section 53-9 of the Subdivision Ordinance if they meet certain criteria, such as difficult topography. 48 December 3, 2018 7 The applicant has stated on the site plan that the proposed flag lots exists for two reasons: i. The first condition occurs in locations where the length of the lake shoreline greatly exceeds the street length that generally parallels the shoreline. Due to the shape of the shoreline in certain locations, the lots will have to become narrower where the lots join the street. ii. The second condition is where multiple lots have frontage on a cul-de-sac and the limited length of the right-of-way line at the perimeter of the cul-de-sac requires the lots to have a narrow frontage. The lots are also deep which causes the narrow portion of the lot (‘flag poles’) to have extended lengths. 3. Block Lengths – According to the applicant, the proposed street system for the project is essentially one cul-de-sac with numerous side streets. There is no opportunity to interconnect Watersail Way with parallel streets to create blocks, as the subject property is a peninsula with water on three sides of it. The property has a central ridge with steep slopes on each side, falling to the lake. The applicant has provided a roundabout (turn around) for vehicles at the request of staff where the project does not meet the block length standards. 4. 45’ Street Right-of-Way Widths – The subdivision concept plan proposes right-of- way widths of 45 feet (with a minimum pavement width of 18 feet) for the cul-de- sacs that intersect Watersail Way, the main (collector) street. The proposed right- of-way width is NC DOT’s standard for residential local roads. Watersail Way will maintain a minimum right-of-way of 60 feet. Ms. Oakley stated the Person County Land use Plan does not identify the majority of the site as a specific land use category; however a small portion of the site along with the properties nearby are identified as Rural Residential and the proposed subdivision aligns with the residential designation. Appendix O of the Land Use Plan lists goals and objectives for the county including the following: 1.5 – Provide for a variety of housing types, densities and price ranges. Ms. Oakley shared the following presentation: 49 December 3, 2018 8 50 December 3, 2018 9 51 December 3, 2018 10 52 December 3, 2018 11 53 December 3, 2018 12 54 December 3, 2018 13 Ms. Oakley stated the Planning staff recommended approval of the concept plan for the subdivision SUB-02-18. Due to the topography of the site and the existing site constraints, planning staff also recommends approval of the three (3) variations/ modifications for the subdivision, which includes flag lots, block lengths that exceed 2,400 feet and street widths with 45’ of right-of-way width. Ms. Oakley said at the November 8, 2018 meeting of the Planning Board, the Board voted unanimously (5-0) to approve SUB-02-18 with the three requested variations/modifications due to the site constraints and the topography of the site. Ms. Oakley requested the Board either a) to vote to approve with the three requested variations, b) approve with the three requested variations and additional conditions or c) to deny the subdivision concept plan. Commissioner Clayton asked Ms. Oakley about the type of sewer system proposed to be used on the individual lots. Ms. Oakley introduced Mr. John Phillips, project engineer that explained they would have a sewer spray-irrigation system with storage ponds that would be operated under the rules and regulations of the state of North Carolina with the Home Owners Association (HOA) responsible with privatized funding. Mr. Phillips stated the HOA would have a binding contract with the state of North Carolina and should they not do what was required; the state could fine the HOA, or close the system. Commissioner Clayton asked if Duke Energy approved the spray irrigation sewer system to which Mr. Phillips said the soil tests were in process and the permit application has not been submitted at this point. Commissioner Clayton asked about the road maintenance to which Mr. Phillips said the roads were being constructed to state specification but the roads could not be dedicated to NC DOT and that the HOA would be responsible for the roads maintenance. A motion was made by Commissioner Puryear and carried 4-1 to approve SUB- 02-18, a request by Randy Allen with Sunbelt Acquisitions, LLC, for a Subdivision Concept Plan for the Peninsula at Hyco Lake, as presented. Commissioner Clayton cast the lone dissenting vote. 55 December 3, 2018 14 VAR-01-18 - REQUEST BY RANDY ALLEN WITH SUNBELT ACQUISITIONS, LLC, FOR A SUBDIVISION VARIATION FOR THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION THE PENINSULA AT HYCO LAKE CONSISTING OF 162 LOTS ON 437.72 ACRES LOCATED ON SR 1314 ZION LEVEL CHURCH ROAD IN THE RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT.

Page 3 of 390 Information and Talking Points for Juvenile Crime Prevention Councils and Community-Based JCPC-funded Programs Community based programs funded through Juvenile Crime Prevention Councils:  Represent a tradition of partnership between the State of North Carolina and counties that began in 1977 as Community Based Alternatives to provide prevention and intervention services to delinquent and at-risk youth in our communities and in all 100 counties in our state.  Annually serve over 20,000 youth and families, preventing the vast majority from penetration or deeper penetration of the juvenile justice system.  Greatly reduce the need for additional funding of institutions. Consider this, if only 1% of the youth served in Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) funded programs are kept out of Youth Development Centers, the cost saved in institutional expenditures far exceeds the current JCPC allocation (almost $22 million dollars). The average cost to serve a youth in a Youth Development Center in FY 2016-2017 was $139,434, and in a Juvenile Crime Prevention funded community program, the average DJJ cost per child served was $996.20. (JCPC Special Provision Legislative Report, February 1, 2018)  Provide intermediate sanctions and early intervention programs that have helped make possible the 86.25% reduction in youth served by Youth Development Centers since 1998. The care of these youth has been shifted to the communities without any increase in funding. TRENDS IN YDC COMMITMENTS FROM 1998 TO 2017  JCPC funded programs generate a large percentage of their annual operating budgets from sources other than state juvenile justice funds (including county match, local in-kind, other local funds/donations, and federal sources). Statewide, JCPC programs leverage over $14.3 million in funding from other revenue sources statewide, which represents 40% of total revenues used to support JCPC funded programming across the state.  Juvenile Crime Prevention Councils represent the diversity of the community, though they are legislatively prescribed members. Their charge is to facilitate collaboration and provide a unified response to County Commission boards, guiding and recommending services to build a local continuum of services to meet the unique, local needs of juveniles.  Program impacts effect the youth holistically, with reduction of problem behaviors in the home and school, increase in academic skills and performance, and reduction of delinquency. JCPC programming often supports specialized services such as substance abuse, sexual offender assessment and treatment services. 91 Raise the Age:  On December 1, 2019, the Raise the Age legislation of the Juvenile Justice Reinvestment Act will go into effect. The age of juvenile jurisdiction will rise to 18 at this time, in the middle of Fiscal Year 2019-2020.  The current North Carolina JCPC Allocation is $21,984,234. The graph above shows the total youth population between ages 10 to 17, compared to the annual JCPC allocation. While there has been a decrease in juveniles at intake and subsequent juvenile court direct referrals to JCPC programs that were primarily targeting court involved juveniles, there is an overall increase in the state’s youth population. In an effort to continue to effectively implement the Comprehensive Strategy Framework, programs and strategies that conform to the legislative requirement for dispositional alternatives have seen a reduction in juvenile court involved youth referred statewide, as the number of juveniles at intake has decreased over the past several years. This is an encouraging trend, but there will most certainly be an increase in juveniles under the jurisdiction of juvenile court when Raise the Age is fully implemented, and JCPC programs need to be adequately funded in order to be fully prepared.  The behaviors that result in juvenile complaints still persist. So, if North Carolina is to continue its success in diverting juveniles away from the justice system after Raise the Age takes effect on December 1, 2019, community-based programs will need the following to address and redirect those behaviors:  Expansion to be able to accommodate an older population  Expansion to assist local districts with School Justice Partnership initiatives, which is also an element of the Raise the Age legislation  Applicable training  Age-appropriate services and curriculum resources  Without a correlating increase in JCPC funding to serve the additional youth with evidence-based approaches, seamless implementation will be improbable, as training and staffing resources have been weakened over the years by stagnant funding. There has been no increase in JCPC funding awarded by the General Assembly for over nine years.  North Carolina’s Raise the Age legislation will take effect on December 1, 2019, raising the age of juvenile jurisdiction from age 16 to age 18. This change will take effect in the middle of Fiscal Year 2019-2020.  JCPCs will need to strategically prepare for the possibility of expansion funding in a mid-year funding cycle. Area Consultants will be working closely with JCPCs to devise a two-tiered planning process, to ensure that new expansion funding can be immediately utilized to begin program expansions, based on the local annual planning process. A thorough examination of locally projected increase in allocation funding needs will become the basis for supporting the statewide expansion request. Ideally, a JCPC allocation increase/expansion should be introduced by July 1, 2019, to support the development of needed services. JCPCs operate under legislative and administrative code constraints and are compelled to follow rigorous RFP and funding processes before funding is awarded. 92 Blank County Plan Addendum: “Raise the Age” Priorities The Blank County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) seeks to maximize available allocation funding by addressing the priorities of the Raise the Age legislation in the areas of targeted intervention programming for 16-17 year old offenders in the juvenile justice system by seeking to do the following (check all that apply): Increase the capacity of existing programming to address additional 16-17 year olds entering and/or being retained in the juvenile justice system; Provide funding for new programming to 16-17 year olds via additional components in existing programs or newly funded programs Seek collaboration from surrounding counties to provide funding for multi-county programming focusing on 16-17 year olds in a district or region. “Raise the Age” program priorities include: Mentoring Services Restitution/Community Service Sexual Offender Treatment Parent/Family Skill Building Teen Court Group Home Interpersonal Skill Building Psychological Assessments Temporary Shelter Vocational Skills Counseling Runaway Shelter Experiential Skills Home Based Family Counseling Specialized Foster Care Tutoring/Academic Enhancement Crisis Counseling Temporary Foster Care Mediation Substance Abuse Treatment Juvenile Structured Day Data reviewed by the JCPC as well as a county Resource Assessment focusing on the full range of juvenile jurisdiction proposed by Raise the Age indicates the following gaps that the additional programs indicated above will seek to address: Blank 93 Another important feature of Raise the Age addresses school-based offenses/complaints. The Blank County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC), in response to local initiatives seeking to address this issue, seeks to expand Juvenile Crime Prevention programming in support of the following legislative priorities:  Reduce in-school arrests  Reduce subsequent referrals to juvenile courts  Reduce out-of-school suspensions and expulsions Tier I Planning for FY 2019-20 includes priority service needs and RFP development based on the current Blank County allocation of Blank. Tier II Planning for FY 2019-20 includes priority service needs to address RFP development with JCPC expansion funding. Tier II planning includes the development of the following identified expansion of services.

It is an excellent time to continue to support the accomplishments of and revitalize partnerships between state and local governments by supporting Juvenile Crime Prevention Councils (JCPCs) and the valuable work performed by them. The ________ County JCPC is a Commissioner appointed body that is responsible for prevention and intervention programming to youth at greatest risk. JCPCs and the programs they oversee are essential to preventing and reducing juvenile crime, responding immediately and effectively when criminal behavior occurs, and protecting the community by implementing the North Carolina Comprehensive Strategy, which ensures, “the right program for the right child at the right time and in the right setting.” (John Wilson/Buddy Howell, OJJDP Comprehensive Strategy for Serious, Violent, and Chronic Juvenile Offenders (1993)) Your support to help the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council prepare for the increase in the age of juvenile jurisdiction established by the Juvenile Justice Reinvestment Act, which raises the juvenile age to 18 (also known as Raise the Age legislation), is appreciated. The most pressing and relevant concerns to the Juvenile Crime Prevention effort are outlined in the Informational Points attached to this letter. The _______ County JCPC is asking that you assist us in educating Commissioners, legislators, and other community and state partners, in the effort to ensure a successful implementation of the Juvenile Justice Reinvestment Act, by requesting expansion funding to Juvenile Crime Prevention Councils. This funding will support training, evidence-based and age appropriate intervention services, and rehabilitative programming for the expanded population, as outlined in the Raise the Age legislation. Attached is an example of a resolution that you may choose to edit and adopt in preparation for Raise the Age. 95 Thank you for your continued efforts to advocate for the youth in our community. It will take all of us working together to ensure that youth served receive, “the right program for the right child at the right time and in the right setting.” (Wilson/Howell) Sincerely, _______________ Chair, ________ County JCPC 96 AGENDA ABSTRACT Meeting Date: January 7, 2019 Agenda Title: Transfer of County Surplus Vehicle to City of Roxboro Fire Department Summary of Information: Since 2012, the County has an agreement in place with the City of Roxboro Fire Department for the provision of fire investigation services. In exchange for these services, which was an amendment to the City Fire Contract when the Board of Commissioners eliminated the Fire Marshal position, the County agreed to allow the City full use of the Fire Marshal Vehicle. The City is now requesting title to this vehicle so that it may be up-fitted for use with an arson dog. The County has no use for this vehicle and recommends transferring title to the City for their continued assistance with fire investigation services. In order to facilitate this transfer within the General Statute requirements below, the Board needs to approve the donation authorizing staff to convey the vehicle to the City. The County will issue a letter of record to the City to include the year, model, # miles, VIN #, any record of mechanical issues, its overall condition, an estimated value, and whether any goods or services were received in exchange for the donation. Below is the relevant statutory authority: § 160A-274. Sale, lease, exchange and joint use of governmental property. (a) For the purposes of this section, "governmental unit" means a city, county, school administrative unit, sanitary district, fire district, the State, or any other public district, authority, department, agency, board, commission, or institution. (b) Any governmental unit may, upon such terms and conditions as it deems wise, with or without consideration, exchange with, lease to, lease from, sell to, or purchase from any other governmental unit any interest in real or personal property. (c) Action under this section shall be taken by the governing body of the governmental unit. Action hereunder by any State agency, except the Department of Transportation, shall be taken only after approval by the Department of Administration. Action with regard to State property under the control of the Department of Transportation shall be taken by the Department of Transportation or its duly authorized delegate. Provided, any county board of education or board of education for any city administrative unit may, upon such terms and conditions as it deems wise, lease to another governmental unit for one dollar ($1.00) per year any real property owned or held by the board which has been determined by the board to be unnecessary or undesirable for public school purposes. (1969, c. 806; 1971, c. 698, s. 1; 1973, c. 507, s. 5; 1975, c. 455; c. 664, s. 9; c. 879, s. 46; 1977, c. 464, s. 34; 2001-328, s. 6.). Recommended Action: Approve the transfer of vehicle title to the City of Roxboro. Submitted By: Heidi York, County Manager 97 AGENDA ABSTRACT Meeting Date: January 7, 2019 Agenda Title: NCDOT Update of STIP U-5969 – US 501 (Madison Boulevard) Summary of Information: At the request of the Kerr-Tar Rural Planning Organization, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to convert US 501 (Madison Boulevard) from a 5-lane undivided roadway to a 4-lane median divided roadway from south of US 158 to North Main Street. Intersections and cross streets will also be reconstructed as part of this project and continuous sidewalks will be included along both sides of the roadway. The proposed project is approximately three miles in length and is included in the 2018-2027 North Carolina State Transportation Program (STIP). The purpose of this project is to improve safety in the area by limiting access and to enhance multi- modal facilities and mobility along the project corridor. Due to the extensive amount of development that is located on either side of the project, efforts will be made to keep right-of-way acquisition to a minimum. Along with improving the main roadway, changes will be made to some of the side streets along the project corridor. NCDOT has developed conceptual plans with a typical section that includes 4-12’ lanes, 17.5’ median and 5’ sidewalks on both sides. Proposed intersection treatments include right-in/right- out, full access and closed intersections.

Explain in detail how each of the following was involved in the planning and development of this strategic plan. a. Low-Income Community: Telamon Corporation has been providing services to low-income communities in North Carolina for over 50 years. The Telamon Corporation, formed in 1965 as the Migrant Project of the North Carolina Council of Churches, is dedicated to assisting migrant farmworkers. Since then, our mission has expanded to offer services across 11 states to low- income families, including the Workforce and Career Service programs, Head Start and Early Head Start, and Housing and Development projects. The low-income community provides input into this CSBG grant strategy and Telamon’s overall strategic plans in several different ways. One-third of the members of the Telamon Governing Board represent low-income communities; in addition, other members are current or former Head Start parents who have faced severe socio-economic challenges. Telamon is continually collecting and analyzing data from service area resources, residents, and program participants to ensure that programs efficiently and effectively address community needs. Telamon conducts initial community assessments for service areas and updates information as needed with new quantitative data from public resources on demographic information, qualitative feedback from customer satisfaction surveys and community public meetings, and varied data from other programs and community resources. Part of this assessment process includes asking current and prospective customers to define the needs of poor people in their community and to gauge the availability of services to meet these objectives. Telamon staff scheduled public hearings to hear input on this plan from community members, low-income residents and public officials on the following dates. Public notices of the meetings were published on the following dates: County Public Meeting Board of Commissioners Publication of Public Notice Caswell January 7, 2019 January 7, 2019 Caswell (Co.) Messenger on 12/19/18 and 12/31/2018 Person January 7, 2019 January 7, 2019 The Courier-Times on 12/19/18 and 1/2/2019 Rockingham January 7, 2019 January 7, 2019 News and Record on 12/19/18 and 1/2/2019 b. Agency Staff: Telamon staff members have designed a program to assist program participants in navigating around barriers that inhibit low income individuals and families from obtaining gainful employment, building assets, and escaping poverty in the three-county service area. Staff gathered information from a variety of datasets from NC Department of Workforce Solutions, NC Department of Commerce, U.S. Census’s Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) program. Staff identified areas with a high incidence of poverty driven by causal factors that include low academic attainment, lack of basic skills and employment training, and a lack of transportation to employment centers and training institutions within each 127 Agency Name _______________________________________________________________ Fiscal Year 2019-20 Community Services Block Grant Application Page 16 of 54 of the three counties. The program was developed collaboratively with input from staff across lines of business within Telamon, including Workforce and Career Services, Housing and Development Services, Corporate Development, and Early Childhood and Family Support division, which includes the NC Head Start programs. Members from each line of business collaborated and surveyed the potential projects from the perspective of ROMA (Results Oriented Management and Accountability) before proceeding with program development, headed by the North Carolina State Education and Training Office branch of Telamon Corporation, located in Raleigh. c. Agency’s Board and Council Members: Telamon’s Governing Board advocates for programs and services that will enable individuals and families to achieve self-sufficiency. In addition to providing advocacy and a voice for low income families, the Governing Board ensures that projects undertaken are within the scope of Telamon Corporation’s mission. The Governing Board has regularly provided input on Telamon’s pursuit of designation in the three-county service area beginning at its March 2015 meeting. Prior to the designation opportunity published by NC Office of Economic Opportunity, the Governing Board members participated with a group of management and operations staff in strategic planning sessions in late 2013 to develop objectives including continued focus on the rural poor and an emphasis on literacy, job skills, and youth services. In more recent program cycles, Project PRIDE’s Advisory Council has taken the lead of program oversight, though a liaison still serves on both the Advisory Council land Governing Board to ensure continued involvement and guidance of the Governing Board. Advisory council with members representing one third elected officials, one third private sector representatives, and one third low-income representatives. Council members ensure that the community voice is heard and guide program goals and focus. The council meets quarterly to review program reports and updates and to share information with Telamon staff about community resources, events, community needs, and developments. A Telamon Governing Board liaison serves as an officer on the Executive Committee of the Project PRIDE’s Community Action Advisory Council. The liaison reports annually to the Telamon Governing Board regarding the program’s activities. 2. Describe how and what information was gathered from the following key sectors of the community in assessing needs and resources during the community assessment process and other times. These should ideally be from each county within your agency’s service area: a. Community-based organizations: Data from housing organizations, Head Starts, and other community-based organizations was integrated into the 2018 Community Needs Assessment Addendum. Community-based organizations make also referrals to Project PRIDE. PRIDE staff share office space in the NCWorks location in Reidsville, NC and frequently co-assist clients. Goodwill is another close partner that assists participants with additional services. b. Faith-Based Organizations: Faith-based organizations were originally not included in the 2016 Community Needs Assessment but were included in a survey of community stake holders conducted in 2017. Currently Project PRIDE staff partner with local faith-based organizations to leverage services and resources for program participants. Faith-based community representatives serve on the Advisory Council, refer participants, and partner with staff to meet community member needs. c. Private Sector: PRIDE staff have recently developed a relationship with employer XLT. XLT sought assistance for new hires to access training and tools. XLT has become a valuable resource for job referrals and information on employer and employee needs. Additionally, Caswell Chamber of Commerce currently sits on the Advisory Council local businesses seek assistance for employees and potential hires. 128 Agency Name _______________________________________________________________ Fiscal Year 2019-20 Community Services Block Grant Application Page 17 of 54 d. Public Sector: Project PRIDE has relationships with county commissioners in each of the service areas and some county elected officials and staff serving on the advisory council. Community agency representatives serve on council and partner with staff to serve community and reduce poverty. e. Educational Sector: Recent educational analysis shows that reading levels are lower for youth in Rockingham and Caswell counties. Adult educational attainment is also low in the 3-county service area according to data used in the 2016 community needs assessment. Project PRIDE hopes to partner with early education providers to identify the needs of parents who may need additional services for themselves or their children. Project PRIDE will continue to partner with community colleges to both refer participants and accept referrals for adults needing educational assistance. Board of education members, program participants currently attending school and community college administration staff currently serve on the advisory council. 3. Describe your agency’s method and criteria for identifying poverty causes including how the agency collected and analyzed qualitative and quantitative data in identifying those causes. Telamon staff evaluated the causes of poverty in the three-county area through three primary methods: 1) review of relevant community assessments from Telamon and other publicly-funded organizations, 2) evaluation of quantitative statistical data for the three-county area, and 3) qualitative analysis of recurring themes and expressed needs emerging from community members. Research from these three sources indicated that education and employment-related issues, including lack of job skills, lack of educational attainment, and need for employment supports, were primary contributors to poverty in all three counties. A full community assessment was completed prior to the 2016-2017 program year. A revised addendum of that information has been completed prior to the start of the 2018-2019 program year. The results of the community assessment addendum have been included in this application submission updating demographics, community resources, and community concerns. The recommendations provided in this community assessment have shaped our understanding of the tri-county area and given program staff guidance into how to most efficiently and effectively impact the families and the community. This community assessment and addendum gives greater insight to the needs of the service area and allows the program to more effectively serve participants. An new community assessment is currently being conducted and is scheduled to be completed, then reviewed and approved by the advisory council in 2019. In a questionnaire, conducted in 2016, asking respondents, including Caswell County customers, to select the top three reasons for poverty in their county, the top two reasons given were “Not Enough Jobs” and “Wages Are Too Low” by 56.3 % and 48.1%, respectively. Although respondents also indicated that issues such as high health care (19.4%) and housing costs (19.4%) also contributed to poverty the top, “Lack of Education/Training” (18.0%), “Lack of Job Skills” (15.5%), and “Lack of Child Care” (17.5%) all point to employment-based causal factors for poverty. Existing community assessments published by publicly funded entities in the three counties were also utilized. In these assessments, stakeholders (including low-income people) are asked to complete questionnaires. A variety of factors including demographics, educational attainment, health issues, and local transportation and economic indicators for the three counties were considered. These assessments highlight several causes of poverty that impact families. 129 Agency Name _______________________________________________________________ Fiscal Year 2019-20 Community Services Block Grant Application Page 18 of 54 Community Assessment and Other Published Data Sources Consulted All Counties U.S. Census Bureau, 2009-2013 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates. 2015 County Development Tier Rankings, NC Department of Commerce Access NC Data, NC Department of Commerce Telamon Corporation Tri-County Community Assessment, completed 2016 Caswell County 2014 Telamon Head Start/Early Head Start Community Assessment 2013 Caswell County Partnership for Children CNA NC Justice Center, Budget & Tax Center, Economic Snapshot: Caswell County, April 2014 Person County 2011 Person County Community Health Assessment 2014 Person County Community Health Assessment Rockingham County 2011 Rockingham County Community Health Assessment 2012 Rockingham Head Start Community Assessment With the community assessment completed, Telamon was able to narrow down the needs of the community to focus on two main areas – dislocated workers and young, single mothers. Outreach will be focused on these areas, but all eligible members of the community will be invited to enroll and participate in the services offered. NC County Development Tiers In addition to published community assessments and other data tools, the Development Tier Rankings published by the State of North Carolina were consulted. Since 2007, North Carolina has used a three-level system for designating development tiers. The designations determine a variety of state funding opportunities to assist in economic development. The annual ranking process assigns each county to a designation of Tier One (most distressed), Tier Two, or Tier Three (least distressed). In its 2016 County Development Tier Rankings, the NC Department of Commerce ranked the state’s 100 counties based on economic indicators including unemployment, household income, population growth, and property tax base (per capita). Per the development tier rankings, Caswell County is the most economically distressed, falling at 18th in the state. Rockingham County follows at 25th, and Person County at 40th. All three counties have 12-month unemployment rates that exceed the North Carolina average. State/County Tier Rank Property Tax Base, Rank Pop.

Focus Groups To determine the priorities and ultimately the strategy for addressing these causes of poverty, Telamon conducted focus groups in each county using a focus group format during the initial application phase beginning in August 2015 through December 2015. Telamon staff prepared a set of questions (available upon request) to jump-start dialogue on topics including: poverty, education, health, financial literacy, mental health, homelessness, existing support networks and services, and potential partnerships. These meetings had nine (9) total participants representing government, education, and social service agencies in the three counties. Additional focus groups were conducted in November and December 2015 in each of the three counties. These focus groups represented community members and low-income residents, including Early Head Start parents, community college and GED students, and community leaders in the social services. Thirty-two (32) people participated in three focus groups. Priorities were established using two main criteria: 1) they had to address the clearly articulated needs of the three-county community as demonstrated through both qualitative and quantitative data, and 2) they needed to be reasonably actionable by Telamon Corporation. Through focus group input, combined with our analysis of statistical data, we developed two priorities for the 2016-2017 cycle of CSBG funding: Priority 1 – Provide employment, education and training services, including vocational assessment, post-secondary exploration, occupational skills training, soft skills training, paid work experience, job referrals, financial capability services and related self-sufficiency services and supports, with a focus on displaced workers and young, single mothers. A recurring theme across the focus groups was the occupational skills gap between the labor force and employer needs. Low educational attainment and a lack of diversity in the economy (i.e., an overdependence on the manufacturing sector) have contributed to a workforce with limited transferable skills and dwindling employment opportunities. Focus group participants also commented that individuals lacked soft skills, e.g., collaboration and teamwork, interpersonal skills, and dependability. Telamon will partner with area employment and training resources such as local career centers and community colleges. Through this collaboration, Telamon will support individuals as they seek existing training opportunities to become more readily employable, as well as offer new employment and training services that complement these opportunities and fill identified gaps. Both the statistical data and anecdotal evidence from focus group participants reinforced the need for effective and comprehensive case management for individuals and families seeking to become self-sufficient. Telamon staff will provide guidance and assistance to help program participants set goals and stay on track to meet self-sufficiency milestones. One of the most critical groups in need of care are older adults who have been pushed out of the workforce due to layoffs, which continue through this day. These adults are at risk of falling into poverty due to a lack of critical job skills for today’s marketplace and limited employment options in their community that meet their skillsets. 131 Agency Name _______________________________________________________________ Fiscal Year 2019-20 Community Services Block Grant Application Page 20 of 54 Priority 2 – Develop a robust referral network of community partners to offer education, employment, and social supports. Telamon leverages community capacity by coordinating services with community-based organizations, local government human services programs and the faith community. Service referrals made to these partners will include those for early childhood education/childcare, housing, behavioral health counseling and transportation, among others. Partner organizations will in turn make referrals to Telamon for self-sufficiency support. The complementary array of services offered to program participants will maximize the chances of meeting individual and program goals. 4. Describe activities that your agency has undertaken to advocate for and empower low-income individuals and families to achieve economic independence and security. All programs that Telamon undertakes and administers are tied to the corporate theme of “Empowering Individuals, Improving Communities.” Telamon’s guiding philosophy is that through the efforts of the individual, supported by Telamon and partners, economic security and independence can become a reality and that the cumulative efforts of individuals ultimately transform a community. To summarize, Telamon’s key programs along with activities and advocacy efforts include:  Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) programs – Telamon currently operates Project PRIDE (Personal Responsibility in Daily Endeavors) and in previous funding cycles operated Project BLOC (Basic Language and Occupational Competency) to serve youth and adults with barriers to English. Project PRIDE serves as a Community Action Agency assisting low- income residents of Caswell, Person, and Rockingham counties to overcome barriers to rising out of poverty.  National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) – The program provides outreach, assessment, training, and supportive services to agricultural workers and their dependents who wish to gain employment outside of agriculture. The program also provides training to upgrade skills for those wishing to stay in agriculture. Workforce professionals work with customers to identify career paths and ladders that will provide them with improved employment to provide financial stability. Supportive services are provided to enable customers to successfully complete their training.  Head Start (Regular, Early, Migrant and Seasonal) – The program provides early childhood education to enable children in low income families to be ready for school and break the multi- generational cycle of poverty resulting from low educational achievement. Head Start delivers comprehensive services including health and dental screenings, mental health, nutrition and family services to ensure that all children receive support. Parents receive training and support on how to advocate for their children and to continue the learning process at home. Partnerships are created with families that identify their strengths, needs and goals. Family Services staff help parents to access community resources including ESL, financial literacy and job training.  Youth Programs – These initiatives target attainment of academic credentials including high school diplomas and GED through counseling and supportive services, career and higher education exploration activities, career and life skills workshops, and job placement. The objective is to empower and equip youth customers to be productive members of society and enable them to support themselves. Telamon’s largest youth program is YouthBuild in SC. 132 Agency Name _______________________________________________________________ Fiscal Year 2019-20 Community Services Block Grant Application Page 21 of 54 This program focuses on educational attainment, training, and certifications for construction trades. In this program, Telamon exceeded program objectives in Attainment of Degree/Certificate and Placement in Employment by 46.5% and 16.6%, respectively. Telamon-North Carolina was awarded Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funding for 2015-2016 to operate a youth program in Columbus and Pender counties. The anticipated impact is that 110 in-and out-of-school youth will be served through this effort.  Housing and Financial Literacy – For most Americans, purchase of a home provides an unmatched level of psychological and financial security. It can also provide the starting point for lifelong accumulation of wealth that can be utilized by the family to leverage their children’s education or start their own business. Housing counselors work with customers to help them navigate the home-purchasing process including financial preparation and the logistics of applying for mortgages, and understanding home inspection results. For those who currently own homes, but are having problems making their mortgage payments, Telamon Housing provides services on budgeting and how to reduce debt. In some instances, programs have been available to fund homeowners who have lost their jobs while they seek new training and employment. Beyond housing counseling, Telamon also offers programs on financial literacy that focus on becoming banked, improving credit scores, and savings. During fiscal 2016- 2017, 289 clients received some type of home ownership counseling. 5. Describe how your agency plans to make more effective use of, coordinate and form partnerships with other organizations and programs including: State welfare reform efforts; public and private resources; religious organizations, charitable groups, and community organizations. Telamon’s years of experience in operating service programs with public funding has given the corporation expertise in partnering with communities to meet the needs of the target population. In the three-county service area, Telamon will learn about the existing initiatives in local service agencies to serve people in poverty. Telamon currently coordinates with staff at Piedmont Community College and Rockingham Community College to both provide referrals and accept referrals for students who may be eligible for services. Telamon CSBG staff work closely with other community agencies to assure that the needs of individuals and families are met. Staff collaborate with community health clinics, mental health services, public schools, community colleges, the workforce system, employers and faith and community-based organizations (FBOs/CBOs). Staff communicate directly with local providers and community representatives to provide quality services and assist in referrals to other agencies. Telamon CSBG staff members coordinate services and accept referrals from all agencies to provide the greatest possible impact for people in need in these communities. CSBG staff have cultivated strategic partnerships with key organizations in each county. These strategic partnerships fill three critical functions: 1) update staff of changing needs, priorities, services, and resources; 2) provide opportunities for outreach and referrals; and 3) leverage existing resources, through cost- and information-sharing with local Work Force Development Centers, local non- profits, the government of each county, and more as needed. In Caswell and Person counties, we will continue to partner with Piedmont Community College. In Rockingham, we plan to expand our partnership with Rockingham Community College and collaborate further with NCWorks on recruitment, training, and joint workshops and activities for participants. 133 Agency Name _______________________________________________________________ Fiscal Year 2019-20 Community Services Block Grant Application Page 22 of 54 Telamon coordinates self-sufficiency services with agencies that serve people living in poverty, including those that provide transportation; energy assistance; public assistance; high school equivalency; financial and career counseling; leadership skills; vocational and occupational skill certification; case management services; literacy; supportive services; work experience and job shadowing; and employment referrals. In all areas, our objective will be to complement and extend the capacity of the supportive services community rather than overlap or supplant services. In all three counties, the resources allocated for CSBG services are far outstripped by the need for services, and we are cognizant of the need to maximize opportunities for our customers by collaborating with existing agencies. We anticipate continuing or expanding relationships with the following entities during the 2019- 2020 program year to establish mutually beneficial relationships for referrals, service utilization, and information-sharing: Agency Service Provided Rockingham County Rockingham Community College Local training and two-year degree programs; high school equivalency and basic skills education/coursework Goodwill Industries, Reidsville and Eden Job training facilities United Way of Rockingham Co.

Describe how your agency will establish linkages between governmental and other social services programs to assure the effective delivery of such services to low-income individuals, to avoid the duplication of such services and to fill identified gaps in services, through the provision of information, referrals, case management and follow-up consultations. Telamon CSBG staff members have been trained in financial counseling, ROMA implementation, and office safety and tracking software (AR4CA, Accountable Results for Community Action). Staff have local community resources guides that they update and use to refer customers to the appropriate contact point within these governmental and community organizations. Staff coordinate with Departments of Social Services to ensure that participants enroll in programs and services that will improve their life situation. Strategic nonprofit and governmental partners (e.g., the Christian Help Center and NCWorks) will also provide key information and access to networks that allow CSBG staff to maximize the support available for individuals and families living in poverty. Staff assess participants on a quarterly basis to assess individual progress, additional needs or concerns. During quarterly assessment, inquire about obstacles and success in five areas, which include, income, employment, education, childcare, and healthcare and assess progress in self- sufficiency based on established ROMA scale. Staff ask a series of questions to identify gaps in services, additional needs, or new conflicts. If staff are unable to resolve any identified conflict with additional services or assistance within CSBG program activities, then staff assist the participant in locating resources to provide a solution. 7. Provide a description of how your agency will support innovative community and neighborhood- based initiatives related to the purposes of the Community Services Block Grant (fatherhood initiatives and other initiatives with the goal of strengthening families and encouraging effective parenting). Telamon’s years of experience in Head Start programs has led to the development of fatherhood promotion initiatives through its family and community engagement plans in each program. For example, using Smart Start funding, Project PRIDE also collaborates with Telamon Housing and Development department to provide financial literacy workshops and individual financial counseling to participants to assist with future planning, such as planning for future education expenses, as well as family budgeting, credit repair, and homeownership. In addition, Telamon staff is a proactive partner in planning, participating, and staffing events that are of benefit to the community. This includes multi-agency outreach and information events, family-strengthening initiatives, and civic meetings for a variety of purposes. 8. Describe activities that your agency has undertaken or plans to undertake, on an emergency basis, for the provision of such supplies and services, nutritious foods and related services, as may be necessary to counteract conditions of starvation and malnutrition among low-income individuals. In Project PRIDE’s history, if funds were available for emergency services, participants are able to receive direct assistance for rent, utilities, and other emergencies, including emergency housing. When funding was not available for these services, Telamon has relied on many grassroots and faith-based organizations to assist in the provision of emergency food, clothing, housing, and utility assistance to clients. As part of our initial networking with agencies in all three counties, Telamon CSBG staff coordinates with local churches, the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, 136 Agency Name _______________________________________________________________ Fiscal Year 2019-20 Community Services Block Grant Application Page 25 of 54 Departments of Social Services, and other providers, to meet the emergency needs of service area residents. Community Services Block Grant Program Fiscal Year 2019-20 Application for Funding Planning Process Narrative (continued) 9. Describe how your agency will coordinate the provision of employment and training activities with entities providing activities through statewide and local workforce investment systems under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. Provide the dollar amount of your allocation that will go towards employment training. Case management for enrolled individuals and families includes referrals to agencies that work with health and nutrition, including DSS and extension programs. Through CSBG programs and the National Farmworker Jobs Project (NFJP), Telamon has a close working relationship with local Workforce Development Boards (WDB) and their respective NCWorks Career Centers. For example, the staff of Telamon’s seven NFJP field offices are co- located within these centers. Under WIOA, “Employment and Training Activities under the Community Services Block Grant Act” is considered a “One-Stop Required Partner.” In this connection, we plan to work closely with WDBs in the three counties to offer services that are complementary to those available through the NCWorks Career Centers (One-Stops). For instance, social service professional participants in one of the early focus groups held in August in Rockingham County commented that 75% of the WIOA funding must be used to support out-of-school youth, leaving many outside those parameters in need of supports. Focus group participants commented that some specific groups in need of support include youth transitioning out of foster care, youth offenders, pregnant youth, and re- integrating adults, among others. The employment and training services provided by Telamon through this CSBG grant are more flexible and can be used to leverage and complement WDB services to reach more working-age young people as well as adults. The local WDBs are also closely involved with the schools’ systems and employer communities and are in the process of developing Career Pathways for WIOA participants. These Career Pathways align workforce services with what employers need to be successful. The Career Pathways are a tool that will guide academic and experiential learning opportunities to lead students toward a career and are focused around in-demand local employment and industry needs (e.g., health care, manufacturing, etc.). Each school district is required to have at least two state- approved Career Pathways. If customers seeking Telamon CSBG education and employment training are participating in a Career Pathways program, staff will develop clear education, training and work-based learning plans that align with the customers’ career goals. The Career Pathways will be a great asset to students interested in predefined professions, but supports are needed for customers whose career interests fall outside of those designated pathways, such as small businesses or entrepreneurship. Telamon helps fill in that gap by providing employment training, work experience, and job placement services for customers who wish to be employed in alternative fields to the ones established through the Career Pathways. In these instances, staff will work 137 Agency Name _______________________________________________________________ Fiscal Year 2019-20 Community Services Block Grant Application Page 26 of 54 closely with the customer to identify career goals and develop specific strategies to meet those goals. 10. Describe how your agency will ensure coordination with the emergency energy crisis intervention program under title XXVI (relating to low-income home energy assistance). Telamon Corporation's field staff coordinate and provide referrals with governmental and other human services programs by networking with contacts at the Department of Social Services, faith- and community-based agencies, and website resources such as NC211.org and the JobStart County Resource List. These online resources identify services designed to help people in North Carolina, including the low-income customers who comprise the CSBG target audience. The Departments of Social Services in all three counties are the primary vehicle for the federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program. In some counties, there are additional supports through community-based energy cost-sharing programs or charitable agencies. For example, both Duke Energy and Piedmont Natural Gas contribute to “Share the Warmth,” and funds are made available to customers via partner agencies in Caswell and Rockingham counties (there is no partner agency in Person County): County Share the Warmth Partner Agency Caswell Caswell Parish Rockingham Co-Operative Christian Ministries The Salvation Army – Reidsville Northwestern Rockingham Community Ministry Staff collaborate and communicate closely with local providers of low-income home energy assistance programs to avoid duplication of services already provided in the communities and to ensure that those families who need and are eligible for the services, receive them. 11. Describe the needs of low-income youth and your agency’s efforts to promote increased community coordination and collaboration in meeting the needs of low-income youth. Security, self-esteem, and preparation for the challenges of adulthood are common needs for all young people. However, they are especially serious issues for low-income youth due to the potential lack available opportunities, lack of financial support, lack of employable skills, and pressures of financially supporting family. Based on needs, referrals are made to partners for services such as tutoring, mentoring, career path identification, and other services depending on the needs of the individual. Ultimately, the safety and well-being of youth are the priority. As Telamon staff assesses individuals and families for services, youth found at risk will be referred to governmental, faith, and community agencies that can assist. Educational attainment is a critical need for youth. Without a high school diploma or GED, the structural elements that reinforce poverty – particularly low-skill, low-wage employment – are simply repeated for another generation. In the three-county service area for this CSBG grant, this critical need for educational attainment is underscored by the higher-than-average levels of poverty 138 Agency Name _______________________________________________________________ Fiscal Year 2019-20 Community Services Block Grant Application Page 27 of 54 (exceeding 29% in all three counties) among individuals over the age of 25 without a high school diploma or equivalent. Depending on the level of academic attainment to date, working-age youth who have dropped out may be referred to local community colleges that offer developmental education as well as GED (or equivalent) instruction. Piedmont Community College and Rockingham Community College both offer Adult Basic Education, High School Equivalency diploma, and career-readiness training at minimal cost to participants (typically the only cost is for applicable exams, and these costs may be covered by CSBG funds for eligible customers). To develop self-esteem for young people, it is important to create achievable challenges and recognize their attainment. To support this effort, Telamon CSBG staff will provide referrals to school and community groups involved in betterment projects that instill a sense of achievement, teamwork, and responsibility in youth. 12. Describe your agency’s method for informing custodial parents in single-parent families that participate in CSBG programming about the availability of child support services. In addition, describe your method for referring eligible parents to the child support office[s]. Staff informs custodial parents in single-parent families about the availability of child support services or “Work First”, the program through which North Carolina administers the federally- funded Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program. Telamon CSBG staff are able to both “on- and off-ramp” customers into Work First: staff can provide services and refer families to begin receiving support through Work First, as well as support families as they transition out of participation in Work First by providing employment services and facilitating participation in social support programs. Through the referral process, staff will refer parents to the Department of Social Services for Work First eligibility determination for financial assistance. Staff will inform parents that Work First recipients are eligible for all Child Support Enforcement services at no cost and refer them to all available resources. 139 Agency Name _______________________________________________________________ Fiscal Year 2019-20 Community Services Block Grant Application Page 28 of 54 Community Services Block Grant Program Fiscal Year 2019-20 Application for Funding OEO Form 210 Agency Strategy for Eliminating Poverty Planning Period: July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020 Section I: Identification of the Problem (use additional sheets if necessary) 1. Give the Poverty Cause name(s), rank the poverty cause(s) and identify which one(s) the agency will address. Per Telamon’s review of existing community assessments and statistical data, as well as input from colleagues in the governmental and nonprofit sectors in all three counties, the following economic determinants of poverty in the three-county service area have been identified: a. Lack of access to full-time, stable, good-paying jobs (especially ones with benefits); b. Lack of key educational attainments, especially attainment of a high school diploma or equivalent; c. Low levels of employment skill and career readiness; d. Limited availability of supportive services that allow individuals to both complete diploma/degree programs, and to search for and secure jobs. Key supportive services identified as high need are child care and transportation. While Telamon Corporation cannot directly address the availability of jobs, we can provide employment training and educational and supportive services that will help customers in the three counties become more competitive in the labor markets within the three-county area. 2. Describe the poverty cause(s) in detail in the community with appropriate statistical data (include data sources). (A) Explain why the problem exists. In the Tri-County Service area, our community assessment revealed multiple causes for poverty. As traditional industries shut down, such as light manufacturing, people become displaced from the workforce. The three counties are each suffering from high levels of migration, particularly among youth and young adults. For those that remain rooted in their communities, unable or unwilling to leave, as industry leaves, a gap remains in the available jobs and the skills present in affected, unemployed workers. These workers do not have the needed skills, education, or soft skills needed to seek out, apply, and acquire new positions that are entering the market, or show to potential employers looking into the tri-county area for opening new businesses that the area has enough skilled workers to meet the demand. (B) Identify the segment of the population and give the number of people experiencing the problem. After conducting a full community assessment of the tri-county area, Telamon identified a specific segment of the population in desperate need of assistance – older, displaced workers who are committed to staying in the area. These workers often possess a low 140 Agency Name _______________________________________________________________ Fiscal Year 2019-20 Community Services Block Grant Application Page 29 of 54 level of education, minimal skills, and a work experience limited to light manufacturing or warehouse experience. In Telamon’s CSBG service area, approximately 5000 workers fall into this category or are at risk of entering this category in the coming years as more factories, such as the MillerCoors Brewing Plant (employing 520 people, and results in employment for hundreds more through production of cans, shipping of goods, etc.), shutter operations and lay off hundreds of workers. Our other key target population will be single mothers. Many of these women have limited service options, particular when it comes to training and childcare options. Thirty women already participate in the Roxboro Housing Authority’s Family Support Services program, which provides support services and assistance. (C) Provide demographic information of those adversely effected inclusive of: (a) Gender Both male and female residents of the Tri-County are affected at about an even split among displaced workers, but the secondary focus of our program are young, single mothers. (b) Age Primarily among displaced workers, in the Tri-County Area the target population for services will be ages 40 and older. For young, single mothers, the age range is between 18 and 35. However, residents in need of training and job placement assistance will be served no matter their age. (c) Race/Ethnicity for the agency’s service area For the Tri-County Service area, it varies by county. In Person and Caswell Counties, the primary population for service are African-American, but in Rockingham County, the primary targeted population will be Caucasian. This is due to the demographics of poverty of the areas affected, where African-Americans are at a higher risk of poverty in Caswell and Person, and where Caucasians are more heavily affected in Rockingham, along the same lines of the race/ethnicity breakdown in each county. Hispanic residents are also affected, but at a much smaller percentage of the population. (D) Explain how the persons are adversely affected. These workers are adversely affected because of their status in an increasingly depopulated area. They possess limited education, limited skills, and limited prospects as businesses close, younger people migrate to other areas of North Carolina and the United States, and limited numbers of businesses enter the area. These workers are tied to the community and have limited options available to them to move on due to family ties, personal demands, and limited funding. For young, single mothers, the demands of family and lack of resources keep them from being able to obtain financial success. In rural areas, particularly in the Tri-County area, a lack of affordable, accessible childcare hinders 141 Agency Name _______________________________________________________________ Fiscal Year 2019-20 Community Services Block Grant Application Page 30 of 54 their efforts to succeed. In Roxboro, a community partner in the Roxboro Housing Authority’s Family Self-Sufficiency Project serves as a resource for many of these women, who live in low-income public housing and work together to share resources, childcare, and support. For the entire population to be served by Telamon’s services, an adverse effect of their situation is a dependence on jobs outside their community. Coupled with long commute times, lack of transportation, and a reliance on jobs outside their towns, many citizens are forced to move, leaving the Tri-County area increasingly at a disadvantage. Section II: Resource Analysis (use additional sheets if necessary) (E) Resources Available: a. Agency Resources: Telamon has been serving low income families in North Carolina since 1965. Since that time Telamon has developed customer- and program-based expertise and institutional capacity in working with families living in poverty, including families with children, farmworker and low-income youth, at-risk home owners, and other at-risk populations. This expertise includes outreach, case management, assessment and counseling, early childhood advocacy, education, and health screening, mentoring adults and youth, employment counseling and placement, home purchasing and foreclosure prevention counseling, financial literacy education, immigration counseling, and referral services. Project PRIDE has successfully partnered with Telamon’s internal Housing and Development department to provide housing and financial literacy training for participants, both in group sessions and individual counseling appointments. Housing staff have committed to offering services to CSBG clients in the tri- county area. PRIDE’s WDS II employee has been trained in financial literacy and coaching in order to impart these skills on each family, and all customers will be invited to take part in financial literacy workshops and classes offered at each office. b. Community Resources: Telamon has positive working relationships with many service agencies in North Carolina that can be relied upon to meet some of the needs of families in poverty. The information and referral process we use will be expanded to include Rockingham, Caswell and Person Counties. We will reach out to DSS in each county to set up a referral process for social services. We will work closely with local Workforce Development Boards to leverage and complement existing resources in employment and training. We will contact Piedmont Community College (Caswell and Person) and Rockingham Community College when adults need training, ABE, and GED. In addition, the Salvation Army and Goodwill can provide emergency assistance as required. These agencies have worked cooperatively with us over the years in other territories and we are confident that the positive working relationships will extend to the new community action service area. The Roxboro Housing Authority is a committed partner, allowing Telamon and the RHA’s Family Self-Sufficiency Program to co-enroll young, single mothers to receive childcare assistance, training, and enhanced job placement assistance from Telamon, along with counseling and housing support from the RHA. (F) Resources Needed: 142 Agency Name _______________________________________________________________ Fiscal Year 2019-20 Community Services Block Grant Application Page 31 of 54 c. Agency Resources: Overcoming the barriers of poverty, lack of job-ready skills, limited transportation to employment centers and training providers will require resources to deliver basic workplace readiness, job skills training and counseling services. This funding will provide direct customer services in the form of outreach/case management staff, instruction, and employment- and education-supports for CSBG customers (please refer to budget for expenditure details). To support customers effectively, we believe it is necessary to have at least one person in all three counties. Current program funding sources for WIOA funded employment and training services require that participants have a high school diploma, job ready math and reading skills, and are ready to sit for the WorkKeys Career Readiness Certificate. This leaves a significant portion of people in poverty unserved. For customers who are at risk of losing their housing or are in substandard housing or homeless situations, we will evaluate customer needs for the appropriate service either Project PRIDE emergency funds, or a referral to Telamon Housing Services, or to Reidsville Housing Authority, Caswell County Section 8 Housing Services, or Roxboro Housing Authority. d. Community Resources: Through research and contact with community representatives, it was determined that there is a significant need in the counties is for coordination of services. In Person County, there is a grassroots network of social services providers that meet regularly, maintain a listserv, and coordinate with service. Project PRIDE staff work to serve a liaison between different available services and advocates for participant needs. Section III: Objective and Strategy (G) Objective Statement: 5 participants will rise above prevention line on ROMA scale by June 30, 2020. Strategies for Objective: Strategies for achieving goal of reducing, eliminating barriers for target populations: - Enroll eligible participants into program to receive employment training, supportive services, employment supports, and referrals to other services. - Utilize training and information sessions to recruit additional participants. - Conduct assessments to determine customer needs and develop a self-sufficiency plan with action items pertaining to education, employment, and supportive services. - Network with other service providers to tap into existing resource and referral networks. - Collaborate with key partners on intake processes to maximize efficiency and effectiveness for customers. - Provide referrals to outside agencies for supportive services outside the scope of Project PRIDE. - Receive referrals for training and supportive services from partner agencies in the three- county area. - Work with employer community in service area to tailor employment support and training to specific workplace needs. - Collaborate with community organizations, including Departments of Social Services, community colleges, employers and others to communicate availability of services. - Utilize existing locations that serve the low-income community to increase comfort level and 143 Agency Name _______________________________________________________________ Fiscal Year 2019-20 Community Services Block Grant Application Page 32 of 54 accessibility of Telamon services. - Build relationships with existing employer community to facilitate Work Experience (WEX), job shadowing, and employment placements. - Deliver short-medium duration programs (e.g. training programs, WEX, others) that have a defined goal and provide a certificate of completion to motivate participants. - Provide gas card incentives to defray travel expense and to recognize completion of programs. - Provide resources to support participants in their educational and employment goals (e.g., tuition, books, uniforms, etc.). - Provide financial capability training, in groups and one-on-one, for participants on topics such as basic financial literacy, banking, credit, and homeownership. - Provide limited funding of child care services to encourage attendance and enhance the training experience. Utilize employer relationships to seek employment placement for successful program completers. OEO Form 210 (continued) Section IV: Results Oriented Management and Accountability Cycle (use additional sheets if necessary) Organizational Standard 4.3 requires that an agency’s strategic plan and Community Action Plan document the continuous use of the ROMA cycle and use the services of a ROMA trainer. (H) Community Needs Assessment: Please summarize the primary needs of your community as determined through the Community Needs Assessment, and explain which of those are Family, Agency, or Community Needs, and why. The community needs assessment determined that primary needs are exacerbated by an increasingly depopulated area. Many low-income community residents possess limited education (family level need), limited skills (family level need), and limited job availability (community need). Younger people migrate to other areas of North Carolina and the United States, and limited numbers of businesses enter the area. These displaced workers are tied to the community and have limited options available to them to move on due to family ties, personal demands, and limited funding. For young, single mothers, the demands of family and lack of resources keep them from being able to obtain financial success. (I) Achievement of Results and Evaluation: Please discuss your agency’s achievement of results from last year. What were the successes and why were those areas successful? What areas did not meet targets or expectations and why were those areas not as successful? What Improvements or changes will be made for this year’s work plan to achieve desired results and better meet the needs of the community? Project PRIDE had a higher than anticipated number of carryover participants from 16-17 resulting in a higher overall number of participants served than anticipated. Participants were overwhelmingly successful in achieving educational and employment outcomes, though most still struggled to rise above poverty level. Project PRIDE could improve in increasing Work Experience participation and plans to more aggressively approach employers and encourage participants seeking work to participate. Project PRIDE also struggled to expend carryover funds and has implemented new, innovative solutions to 144 Agency Name _______________________________________________________________ Fiscal Year 2019-20 Community Services Block Grant Application Page 33 of 54 meet participant needs and satisfactorily expend awarded funds in the current program year to include homelessness prevention assistance and assistance in providing summer childcare to include summer camps for participant’s children. 2017-2018 Cumulative Results Services Goal Actual Total Served in PY 50 108 Rising above poverty 4 2 New Employment 5 7 Better Employment 3 1 Employment w/ Medical 3 0 Completed Educational Training 5 20 Secured Housing 5 0 Employment Assistance 10 24 Employment Support 10 30 Educational Support 5 52 (J) Please name the ROMA trainer who provided services used in developing this community Action Plan and describe what specific services were provided.

Describe the role and responsibilities of the following in the assessment and evaluation of agency programs. a. Board of Directors: Telamon’s Governing Board meets on a quarterly basis to provide oversight of all programs including monitoring findings. At a more detailed level the Operations Committee of the Governing board reviews programmatic and financial performance of all Telamon projects to ensure that the funders’ objectives and needs of customers are being met. If a program is falling short of performance expectations, the State Director in charge of running the subject project is required to develop and implement a project improvement plan to correct the situation. Resolution of this plan, in turn, is reported to the Operations and Oversight Committee. A member of this committee is also a Project PRIDE Community Action Advisory Council member, serving on the council’s executive committee as liaison to the Telamon Governing Board. The Governing Board and Advisory Council liaison annually presents a report to the Governing Board on Project PRIDE activities. b. Low-Income Community: Low income families are represented on the board and on the advisory council by one-third of the membership. Their oversight of program content and results as it pertains to low income households is a critical element in evaluating the efficacy of programs. Input is also sought from low income households to gauge their awareness and perception of programs via annual public meetings, through which service area residents can have input regarding community needs and suggest uses for allocated funds. Data collected from the low-income community help to develop future outreach and service strategies. c. Program Participants: Program participants provide direct input via customer satisfaction surveys, participation in focus groups, and through representation on the Advisory Council. In addition, data is also collected from other programs such as Housing and Development’s surveys and Head Starts’ parents’ policy councils. Program participants, applicants, and the community at large can also use Telamon’s complaint procedure if they are dissatisfied with services, staff, or how their application has been handled to hopefully get a satisfactory outcome. In cases that go beyond service issues and per Telamon policy, participants can report waste, abuse, or fraud observed in programs via a confidential toll-free phone number, email, or a web-enabled form. d. Others: Project PRIDE’s Community Action Advisory Council is comprised of one-third low income representatives, one-third elected officials, and one-third private sector representatives. Council members are participants, low-income community residents, low-income service providers, county commissioners, local mayors, town clerks, chamber of commerce representatives, public school system staff, faith-based community members, and business owners. The diverse collective of dedicated community members grants Telamon access to a multi-faceted perspective of community needs, resources, and solutions. 2. Describe the systematic approach for collecting, analyzing and reporting customer satisfaction data to the Board of Directors. Customer satisfaction data is collected by program staff on an ongoing basis. Satisfaction data is collected and analyzed quarterly by the Program Coordinator. Data is then presented to the Community Action Advisory Council quarterly. Annually satisfaction data is compiled and presented to the Telamon Governing Board by the CAA Council/Governing Board liaison. Also, the Governing Board and its committees review policies and procedures on an ongoing basis. These includes reviews of Personnel Manual and human resource policies by the Personnel and Bylaws Committee; grants administration procedures by the Planning and Development Committee; Head Start policy and procedures through the Head Start Committee; financial and audit policies and procedures through the Finance and Audit Committee; and program self-assessment policies and procedures through the Operations and Oversight Committee. 3. Describe how administrative policies and procedures are monitored by the Board of Directors. 159 All significant programmatic and financial monitoring findings are brought to the board or its committees’ attention. As noted above, an assessment that shows a significant variance from stated objectives or effectiveness standards results in a corrective action plan that is closely overseen by state and executive staff. Telamon Corporation’s Governing Board conducts a fiscal self-assessment annually. This looks at how the corporate systems comply with Federal cost principles. The Governing Board reviews and approves all program monitoring reports and associated correction action plans via their Operations and Oversight Committee. In addition, employee performance is evaluated at least annually. 4. Describe how the Board acts on monitoring, assessment and evaluation reports. The Board will use its Governance Committee (described below) to direct the implementation of a process ongoing continuous improvement of board operations. 5. Describe the Board’s procedure for conducting the agency self-evaluation. In March 2015, the Telamon Governing Board engaged BoardSource to provide it with a framework and system for conducting a Board Self-Assessment, with the end goal of performing at the highest and best use of its collective capacity. The resulting product was a Board Self-Assessment (BSA) Report delivered to Telamon’s Governing Board in July 2015. Five key considerations were established for the future. 1. Revisit the Board’s roles and responsibilities, then establish a systematic way to measure Board performance. 2. Clarify the responsibility of the Board to build relationships for greater collaborations and partnerships. 3. Develop strategies and policies to improve the Board’s composition, on-boarding, and engagement. 4. Spend more Board and committee meeting time on strategic planning and strategic thinking. 5. Focus on improving the constructive partnership between the Board and the CEO. 6. Commit to ongoing continuous improvement of board operations under the direction of a Governance committee. In, 2017 another Board Self-Assessment was conducted. The Ad-hoc Committee revised nomination form, developed expectations for board member involvement, established new orientation process and orientation and quarterly training was provided for new members. Due to limited indirect budget, board training priorities were revised the Board engaged a consultant to address priorities from self-assessment, including review of by-laws and membership. A taskforce worked with a consultant throughout 208 to address priorities identified in the 2017 self-assessment. 6. Summarize the results of the Board’s most recent self-evaluation. Describe how the information has been or will be used to develop the agency’s next Strategy for Eliminating Poverty. Indicate the timeframe and planned activities for the next evaluation. The Community Action Advisory Council will conduct a self-evaluation beginning in 2019. This information will be used to determine the effectiveness of the council’s impact on poverty in service areas, methods of improving effectiveness, resource utilization, and unmet needs. Analyzing these factors will guide future strategy for eliminating poverty. 160 Community Services Block Grant Program Fiscal Year 2019-20 Application for Funding CSBG Administrative Support Worksheet OEO Form 212A 1.

(PCBIC) has traditionally acted as agent of the County in Economic Development matters. With the transfer of the option on the Person County Mega Park property from PCBIC to the County, it would be prudent for the Board of County Commissioners to ratify and reauthorize actions of PCBIC. As a part of continued due diligence, there is a pending contract to conduct a vibration study of the Mega Park which would involve access to, and minor disturbance of, the property for the purpose of seismograph installation. Other studies, surveys and the like may arise requiring access to the property over the course of the project. Recommended Action: The Board of County Commissioners is requested to ratify previous actions of PCBIC regarding the Person County Mega Park and to authorize PCBIC to act for the County in future actions related to the Mega Park, including but not limited to the vibration study at the site.
