By allocating funds to these outside agencies, Orange County hopes to improve the quality of life for both the clients of these agencies and the community as a whole.

While funding ��| does exist for some services provided through the Arc, most of the funding is based on services that were previously based on a medical model, that was then and still is today, insufficient to meet the support needs of individuals with developmental disabilities. When people are fortunate enough to receive services they should have a person-centered plan created for them that maximizes community access and quality of life. 14 AGENCY BUDGET FY 05-06 FY 06-07 FY 07-08 FY 08-09 C Actual Actual Actual Projected Total Agency Budget $517,647 $694,849 $1,220,497 $1,428,506 Orange County's Contribution $4,000 $4,000 $4,000 $4,000 ® List specific initiatives Orange County's contribution supported within your agency during FY 2007- 08: Orange County's contribution to this agency supports transportation costs for adult self-advocates who live in Orange County, in order for them to attend art, volunteer activities, health and wellness activities, along with support to monitor their financial management. NEW AGENCY INITIATIVES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008-09 • To support enhanced efforts to adequately provide supports to persons with developmental disabilities that desire to work in competitive jobs in the community and to provide opportunities for these individuals to become fully familiar with the community and its available resources in order that their life goals are determined in a well-informed manner. Supported employment is a well-defined approach to helping people with disabilities participate in the competitive labor market, working in jobs they prefer with necessary supports. ® Nationally, the Supported Employment movement began in the 1980s as an approach to assist people with developmental disabilities move from sheltered work environments to "real work in the community for real pay." Since then, over .150,000 people with significant disabilities have gone to work in community employment settings, but national unemployment rates for people with disabilities still range from 70% to 80%, and unfortunately, the majority of persons that reside in Orange County who participate in vocational activities continue to work in segregated settings or are under-employed . • The Arc of Orange County encourages supported employment as an independence optimizing option for ( meeting individual vocational goals, and it is our hope that through a combination of person centered planning, consumer, family and provider education, and a variety of well-qualified supported employment professionals, we will significantly increase the number of people obtaining, maintaining and succeeding in community employment through out Orange County. While there is limited state funding for this service, there continues to be a significant gap between costs associated to adequately support for individuals once community placements are made. This funding will allow a means to adequately address the long term support needs of individuals with developmental disabilities and allow individuals to become an integral part of the community and be increasingly valued'as productive citizens of Orange County. • Please note that community employment means that individuals are also giving back to the community by becoming tax-paying citizens. The barriers that continue to prevent individuals with developmental disabilities from full community participation and engagement cross all geographic and socioeconomic lines. Our vision with this cutting-edge proposal is to demonstrate methods that can promote reciprocal relationships between individuals with developmental disabilities and the community-at-large. As a pioneering model of working with individuals with developmental disabilities, The Arc of Orange County can reach new corporate and individual business partners and donors who will be awakened to the potential assets of this population and to further stimulate the existing base of community partners who already know and appreciate the services and efforts directed by, and on behalf of, this group. • 15 ' , Agency Name: The Arts Center ( education, Mission Statement: The A�eCentarnnuhshaa the a�a. creaUv�yondconnrnun�ythnougk . performance and exhibition.

(If no challenges existed, please write none.) The agency faced a number of challenges this year in reaching our program objectives. o In addition to adding a treatment program that nearly doubled our program services budget and more than doubled our staffing level, our Financial Director, Jefferson Porker, who was also the staff person at the agency who led our Housing Development efforts for 5 years, left the agency in December to become the VP of Operations at the Jimmy V Foundation in Raleigh. While we had planned to hire a new Housing Director this yoar, we had planned to do so with his knowledge, \` guidance and support. It took 5 months for us to find the right candidate for the Houuing Director positiun, but we persevered and hired Veronica Kirkland in May 2008. Veronica has hit the ground running. Although originally from Durhann, she and her family have lived in Virginia for the last 10 years so she has had to learn anew the ins and outs of affordable housing in North Carolina and Orange County. o In oddition, we decided to take over the. property management of our housing units again and we added the property management of the Hope Meadow Program in Chatham Co.. which has 6 housing units, two office buildings and 38.5 acres. The 5 housing units that are still in development in Orange Co. are those we plan to build in the Rusch Hollow Habitat for Humanity community. o In addition to the 85% of costs that we had previously been pledged by another funding agency, we have also received approval for an additional $130K through a special bond issued by the Orange County planning commission. We did contract with a construction coordination consultant this year as required by the primary funder. Hoxvavar, construction on these units has been delayed as the site plans needed to be re-drawn and portions of the adjacent site needs to be re-engineered to meet the Town of Chapel Hill's impervious surfaces and zoning specifications. We anticipate receiving approval early in FY2008-2009 and have sent out RFP's to area construction contractors. We estimate that construction will begin in early 2009.

In 2007 we initiated a package of financial counseling sessions to encourage participants to come to more than one oeoeion, thereby increasing their chances of making changes that would lead to successful outcomes. This initiative proved unsuccessful. Most clients will come to one oeseion, get what they naed, and do not return for multiple sessions. On a positive note, we worked with DSS to systematically track DSS clients who come to The Women's Center for financial counseling prior to receiving temporary assistance from DSS.
