Augusta Georgia: Metro@ugusta: Housing Projects Face Risk 01/21/01 The fact is we don't have enough housing stock,'' said will be a scramble to saveexisting programs, such as The family which includes 12-year-old Toby and 2 http://www.augustachronicle.com/stories/012101/met_071-5919.000.shtml
Extractions: Staff Writer Cleon and Pamela Dunn sound like typical home buyers. ``It's got three bedrooms, two full baths ...,'' Mrs. Dunn said, her eyes shining with pride. ``And a big back yard,'' Mr. Dunn chimes in. ``We could get horses for that big back yard.'' What is unusual is where the Dunns are and where they've been. About a year and a half ago, they were staying in one of Augusta's emergency shelters. A year ago, they were entering the transitional house from which they tell their story now. Through budgeting and hard work, they are ready to move on, one of many success stories seen by CSRA Economic Opportunity Authority Inc., which runs the Next Step transitional housing program. Cleon and Pamela Dunn and their children, Capone, 2, (left) and Toby, 12, are looking forward to moving into their new Augusta home, for which the Next Step program helped them save. JONATHAN ERNST/STAFF Yet the efforts to increase services for the homeless in Augusta were dealt a serious blow when groups applying for a federal grant for about $850,000 were denied. Next Step could be one of the casualties.
Targeting Housing Information Programs housing, Home Management and Consumer Economics University of georgiaAthens. importantcomponent of quality of life is housing that satisfies family needs http://www.joe.org/joe/1986spring/iw2.html
Extractions: University of Arkansas -Fayetteville An important component of quality of life is housing that satisfies family needs. Unfortunately, suitable housing has become difficult for many families because of high interest rates, confusing mortgage alternatives, and high housing prices and rents. Extension, based on years of developing and disseminating information on housing issues, is in an excellent position to provide the housing information needed by the public. In 1981-82, as part of a Southern Region Housing Research Project, personal interviews were completed with 1,804 households residing in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Virginia. These households were selected by probability sampling techniques designed to produce a sample representative of the nonmetropolitan, nonfarm population in the seven states studied. Included in the personal interviews was a question measuring needs for housing information. Participants in the personal interviews were asked: "If you wanted to modify or change your dwelling, what kinds of information would be most helpful to you?" Results showed that respondents were most in need of information about energy conservation (44.6%) and financing (37.1 %), followed by remodeling (27.6%), building methods (22.5%), insurance and taxes (21.8%), and housing maintenance (20.7%). Fewer respondents mentioned buying a house (11.1%).
Meeting Basic Needs and shortterm housing programs, a family maintains its dignity and works towardself-sufficiency. United Way Responds United Way of Central georgia supports a http://www.unitedwaycg.com/basicneeds.htm
Extractions: Basic needs are the things that all people need in life to survive such as food, clothing and shelter. These basic necessities are key to each individual's well being and often are the safety net that keeps them from becoming homeless. By using community-based support services such as bill payment assistance, food pantries and short-term housing programs, a family maintains its dignity and works toward self-sufficiency. United Way of Central Georgia supports a continuum of services that provide emergency assistance, temporary shelter and help people learn skills to become more self-sufficient. These services are offered to assist families toward maintenance of strength and independence even through difficult times.

Extractions: Previous Article Table of Contents Next Article CEDS News EDRP Update The CEDS Advisory Board met on November 10, 1998 to be updated on EDRP projects, proposed projects, and other activities of Research Services, as well as the status of course offerings from Professional Development Services (Martha Schoonmaker) and community projects led by Community Economic Development Services (Larry Edens). The board also heard results of the Focus readership survey (see page 10). Three new projects were reviewed at the meeting and all will be funded by EDRP. The first request came from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and entails research into Georgia's residential building industry. Many Georgia communities are experiencing a shortage of single-family housing in a price range affordable to the average manufacturing employee. DCA estimates that range at $70,000 to $90,000. The aim of the research is to determine how to stimulate construction of single-family housing in this price range in rural counties. The second project involves developing a fiscal impact model at the state level. The benefit side to the fiscal impact model will be based on EDRP's current input/output model of Georgia's economy used to estimate the economic impact of new manufacturing investment in the state. The cost side to the model will be developed in this project.

Extractions: A Change for the Better The mission of USDA Rural Development is to enhance the ability of rural communities to develop, to grow, and to improve their quality of life by targeting financial and technical resources in areas of greatest need through activities of greatest potential. By working in partnership with the many public and private organizations involved in rural development, USDA Rural Development is increasing its focus on community development while continuing to fund development projects aimed at creating quality jobs, housing, and services in rural areas. These facts illustrate the condition of rural America: Of the 53 million people who live in rural America, 1 out of 6 live in households with income below the Federal poverty level. Some 535 rural counties endure persistent poverty, with more than 20 percent of their residents living below the poverty level. The importance of production agriculture as a source of employment is diminishing. In the last 20 years, the number of rural workers employed on farms has been cut in half, and 80 percent of all rural Americans now earn their living from nonfarm sources.

Extractions: Question 1: Recognizing the need for more secure health care for families, the FY 2002 Budget originally funded a second year of transitional Medicaid for families leaving welfare for work. However, the cuts in 2002 eliminated it. Will you seek to restore funding in 2003 for this much-needed work support for families trying to leave welfare? Answer 1: I am very supportive of programs that assist Georgians in leaving the welfare rolls, programs such as Wheels to Work have been critical to helping people transition into the workforce by allowing them to have a reliable means of transportation. However, over the course of the last year, the struggling economy has put a strain on the state, and limited the number of programs that can be funded. As revenue begins to be restored I will remain committed to protecting and funding programs that help people help themselves. Question 2: The most important paid staff in the lives of people with disabilities is their direct support staff or personal assistants. These staff assist people with their basic activities of daily living and work responsibilities. Low wages for direct support staff leads to high staff turnover, resulting in interruptions to relationships and continuity of support, seriously impacting the quality of life for the person with a disability and his or her family. Would you support annual cost of living provider rate increases? How would you ensure that direct support staff receives the benefits of the rate increase so that their wages are in line with their responsibilities?

Extractions: College is tough enough without having to worry about tuition, health insurance and living expenses-but what if you don't even have a family to return to during the holidays? For kids aging out of foster care, getting through college means more than just maintaining good grades. Article from Connect for Kids The National Indian Child Welfare Association and Casey Family Programs have released a new document, Improving Access to Independent Living Services for Tribes and American Indian Youth. Author, Nicole Clemens, compares the differences in service requirements under the previous independent living legislation to those mandated under the Chafee Foster Care Independence Program. Most importantly, there is a section addressing how service needs can be provided to Native Youth in a culturally appropriate way. The author acknowledges Robin Nixon of the National Foster Care Awareness Project, Pam Johnson of the Children's Bureau, and Rebecca Copeland of the National Resource Center for Youth Services, for assistance and support. This report by the Foster Care Awareness Project identifies high quality practices by agencies that serve youth transitioning out of foster care. Examples of programs from Independent Living Programs are cited from across the country.
