EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Texoma Council of Governments (TCOG) is a voluntary association of local governments in Cooke, Fannin, and Grayson Counties that works directly with citizens and local jurisdictions to improve and advance economic vitality and quality of life in Texoma. In collaboration with our public and private sector partners, TCOG delivers various programs and services designed to support the health, welfare, and future of our citizens, our communities, and the region as a whole. TCOG employees work hand-in-hand with elected officials and community leaders to develop sustainable and economically viable community and regional development solutions.

Many projects are funded through a state or federal funding allocation to the region. TCOG provides a vast array of direct social services, including the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG). This program seeks to mobilize resources to provide education, economic opportunities, and advocacy for low-income families and communities of Northeast Texas. Services offered by CSBG are designed to promote self-sufficiency.

Other social services include: Section 8 rental assistance (over 600 vouchers each year), benefits counseling, care coordination for the elderly and disabled, caregiver support services, senior volunteer programs, employment and education support, utility assistance, home weatherization, and comprehensive information and referral assistance to seniors, individuals with disabilities, and low-income families.

Collectively, through the planning and development services offered to cities and counties as well as the direct social services provided to citizens, TCOG has played a crucial role in the growth and development of the region since 1968. An Economic Impact Analysis conducted in 2011 estimated TCOG’s overall impact at $34 million for the 2010-2011 fiscal year, including 174 permanent jobs with $6.2 million total earnings, 182,000 volunteer hours served valued at over $4 million, and an additional $658,000 in tax revenues to local jurisdictions. Directly through projects and services and indirectly through overall economic impact to the region, TCOG is touching lives and changing communities.

The Texoma region consists of three north-central Texas counties, all bordering the Red River and the state of Oklahoma (see Figure A). These counties are Cooke, Fannin, and Grayson. Grayson County is the central county, the most populous, and the most urban (Sherman/Denison Metropolitan Area). Grayson is also the largest, at 979 square miles, followed by Fannin and Cooke at 899 and 898 square miles respectively.

Figure A

Page 17

Page 18: TCOG Governing Board Meeting Agenda 1117 Gallagher Drive ......2020/09/17  · The contract provides direct services to low-income residents of Cooke, Fannin, and Grayson counties.

Grayson County, with the largest population 136,212 (2019 US Census Quick Facts) is also the center for major retail, industry, medical facilities, physician specialists, and higher education (Austin College and Grayson College) for the region. Sherman is the county seat of Grayson County and is the largest numerically 44,002. Denison, also in Grayson County, is closest to the Red River. Denison has an estimated population of 25,529. The county is home to 47 social services, seven hospitals, eleven public libraries, two colleges, ten school districts, and ten law enforcement agencies covering 979 square miles. Grayson County is also home to a national wildlife reserve and Lake Texoma.

Cooke County is the westernmost county in the region, with a population of 41,257 (2019 US Census Quick Facts). It has only one large town, Gainesville, with a population of 16,886. The Cooke County economy centers on oil and gas production, and associated industries. The county is served by 21 social service agencies, one community college, five public libraries, two hospitals, nine school districts and nine law enforcement agencies covering an area of 875 square miles.

The easternmost county, Fannin, has an estimated population of 34,514 (2019 US Census Quick Facts). Bonham, the county seat and largest city in the county, has an estimated population of 10,386 with an estimated 2,000 incarcerated at any given time (three prisons/jails in the town). Fannin County is more rural and more agricultural. The county is served by ten social service agencies; five public libraries, a federally-qualified clinic, one public hospital as well as a Veterans Administration hospital; nine school districts and five law enforcement agencies covering an area of 899 square miles.

IIntroduction

In 2015, United States Health and Human Services (USHHS) issued Information Memorandum No. 138 establishing Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Organizational Standards (OS), which require Community Action Agencies (CAAs) to have their governing/advisory body develop and approve a strategic plan every 5 years.

A) Strategic Plan Workgroup

The Results Oriented Management Accountability, ROMA, logic model was utilized in the development of the plan. The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs provided a planning guide as a tool to progress through the stages of preparation.

Input was provided from a variety of stakeholders including: social service agencies, city and county officials, consumers of services, TCOG staff as well as board members.

Over the course of a year members of the workgroup reviewed federal and state mandates impacting CSBG operations, conducted a review of TCOG’s vision, mission and values; and, engaged stakeholders in an examination of the organization’s services through focus groups, surveys and interviews, see Figure B.

B) Key Data from Community Needs Assessment

The 2019-2021 Community Needs Assessment prioritized the needs of the region. Mental Health Needs groups such as the Texoma Behavioral Health Leadership Team are addressing

this issue. Childhood Poverty research through Bridges out of Poverty shows early childhood education programs

as essential in alleviating poverty at a young age. Housing This is a major need, both for the families of the region, but also for the economic development

(jobs) of each county. Food Insecurity and Food Deserts The concentration of poverty in specific geographical areas gives rise

both to food deserts and insecurity, and leads to commerce that allows these areas to remain in need. This priority also overlaps with childhood poverty.

Transportation This issue specifically affects the elderly and disabled, who cannot get transportation to medical providers and facilities. Planning efforts are underway by the local MPO and TCOG has a Regionally Coordinated Transportation Plan.

The CSBG strategic plan addresses housing, food insecurity and intergenerational poverty. Although food insecurity is trending downward in priority food access remains a concern.

A disturbing trend is the rise of poverty in the 18 – 34 age category. Unsettling is the high percentage of children under five who live below the poverty line. Intergenerational poverty is one of the major issues in America, and Texoma is no exception; children born and raised in poverty are more likely to perpetuate that existence.

Mental health and transportation priorities are being addressed by other agencies with expertise relative to these issues.

Prioritization, domains, and family or community level of issues in the strategic plan are:

SSafe and Affordable Housing Domain: Housing Level of Need: Family and/or Community Food Insecurity/food deserts Domain: Health and Social/Behavioral Development Level of Need: Family and/or Community Generational Poverty: Job Skills Program Domain: Education and Cognitive Development Level of Need: Family and/or Community

C) Customer Satisfaction Data and Customer Input Used in Strategic Plan

The survey questions provided by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs in the Strategic Planning Guide were used to gather information from local organizations, focus groups, clients, frontline staff and city/county officials. Responses were collected during the 2nd quarter of 2020, cataloged and analyzed. Responses were used in the SWOT. Feedback from surveys and focus groups are recorded in worksheet 1c-1d of the strategic plan guide.

Community Organization & Service Agency Survey Community and service provider agencies for impoverished households in each of the three counties completed an online survey through Survey Monkey.

Focus Groups in Each County Focus group participants were frontline staff, Foster Grandparent volunteers, the Tripartite Board and program recipients. Each focus group lasted for approximately 60 minutes.

City/County Official Online Survey A survey through Survey Monkey was completed by local office city officials. All three counties were represented by both county and city level elected office holders.

Client Satisfaction Survey A client satisfaction survey, through Survey Monkey, was sent to clients enrolled in the utility assistance and weatherization programs.

D) Integrating ROMA and the SP

Every effort has been made to adhere to ROMA standards in the preparation of the strategic plan. Staff members Molly Guard and Bobbie McDonald achieved Nationally Certified ROMA Implementer Certifications in March 2020 and April 2020, respectively. Both not only actively participated in the work group but reviewed the plan prior to submission.

EE) Vision, Mission and Values of Organization

On Wednesday, April 3, 2019 the workgroup met to review TCOG’s Vision, Mission, and Values; all three were maintained without changes, worksheet 2b.

Vision statement: Better Leaders Building Better Lives

GG) Strategic Issues Identified

TCOG strategic plan includes an agency goal of 100% compliance of National Organizational Standards and effective program outcomes, Figure D.

Figure D

Activities proposed for the strategic plan are: revitalization of low-income communities by developing a food security plan for the city of Ladonia (Fannin); a region wide revitalization program to improve and build safe and affordable housing for people with disabilities; and, finally, as self-sufficiency program to enroll persons in job skills programs to increase earnings at or above a living wage, see Figure E.

FFigure E

Housing is a major need, both for the families of the region, but also for the economic development (jobs) of each county. While cities are already addressing this issue there remains an opportunity to provide for safe and affordable housing to people with disabilities. A Homeowners Rehabilitation Assistance contract was awarded to TCOG by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs in 2020. Figure F demonstrates outputs and outcome projected over the next five years.

Figure F

In 2019, TCOG hired a full-time CSBG caseworker dedicated to the delivery of services and transition out of poverty (TOP) goals. Achieving self-sufficiency is a major objective, if not mandate, of the CSBG program. Client success is largely dependent on higher wage earnings for the household overall. Therefore, throughout the next five years CSBG will concentrate its efforts on opportunities for individuals to overcome impoverishment and succeed through enrolling in case management. Figure G.

HH) Agency Capacity Building

TCOG’s CSBG program hired a new Energy Services Director in 2016. The department includes utility assistance, weatherization and CSBG programs. The Director engaged in understanding the responsibilities of TCOG as a Public Community Action Agency, program management, services, measurement and compliance with federal and state mandates. In 2017, a new tripartite advisory council was formed. The council is comprised of 1/3 public sector, 1/3 private sector, and 1/3 low-income sector and governs under approved bylaws. In 2018, TCOG received approval of the 2019-2021 Community Needs Assessment. Each year, the annual Community Action Plan and Budget is approved. In 2020, two TCOG staff members were certified as Nationally Certified ROMA Implementers (NCRI). TCOG is committed to continuous improvement of the CSBG program. To that end, the 5-year Strategic Plan is includes an agency goal of reaching 100% compliance on the CSBG National Organizational Standards. See Figure I.

RE: Texas Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Contract Amendment No. 1

RECOMMENDATION Ratify Amendment No. 1 to Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) CDBG Program Contract No. C719210.

BACKGROUND Texas CDBG funded a small technical assistance grant to TCOG back in early January 2020. The service periods of the contract were September 1, 2019 through August 31, 2020 (2019) and September 1, 2020 through August 31, 2021 (2020). The contract amount for the 2019 service period was $8,404 with the contract amount of the 2020 service period to be determined. The scope of work included general technical assistance and training, Section 3 (HUD) outreach, dissemination of program information, and fair housing events.

DISCUSSION There are two components to the amendment. First, TDA is extending the 2019 service period end date to December 31, 2020 with no change in the funding amount. Second, TDA is adding additional funds to the 2020 service period with no change in the service period end date.

BUDGET An increase of $8,673 to the 2020 service period for a total amount of $17,077
