Michael C. Van Milligen Dubuque City Manager 50 West 13'h Street Dubuque, IA 52001-4864 Subject: Purchase of service budget request of $31,727 Dear Mike: Thank you for your letter of October 22, 2008 requesting submittal of our purchase of service funding request for the City of Dubuque's fiscal year 2010 budget. Enclosed please find our agency work plan, description of programs, budget information and other materials. OUR BUDGET REQUEST TO THE CITY OF DUBUQUE IS 31 727 Operation: New View Community Action Agency is requesting $3i ,727 in local funding support from the Cifiy of Dubuque to support our services to Dubuque's low-income population for the next fiscal year budget. This amount represents support of 55~ per capita for the City's population of 57, 686. SERVICE TO 13.7% OF DUBUQUE'S CITIZENS During the past year, our agency has served 7,921 Dubuque residents in 3,306 households, in spite of continued flat funding which fails to meet the ever growing needs of the low-income community, we continue to serve more Dubuque citizens each year. In fact, our agency served 13 7% of Dubuque's total population. The client characteristics of the population served and the types of serv!ces provided are attached for your review. 80.7°~o OF DUBUQUE'S POVERTY POPULATION SERVED There are a total of 5,152 people in Dubuque that have family incomes below the federal poverty level. That is 8.9% of the city's population of 57,686. We served 4,158 or 80.7% of these individuals during the past year. Some 22% of these citizens had incomes that were even below one-half of the federal poverty level, the poorest of the poor. Most of the programs that our agency administers uses up to 150% of the federal poverty level to income qualify participants. That population group represents 9,630 individuals or 16.7% of the city's residents. We served 6,172 or 64.1 % of these individuals through our programs last year. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT E(.T.C. INITIATIVE BRINGS OILER 603,000 TO CITY This past year, our agency again gave leadership to an initiative in the City of Dubuque to provide outreach services for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). This effort iargetS educat,an ar)CUt EITly to Ia:^!-!nCame work!!`!~i iC~,irYtilieS, ri!-!d offelS free ta7C preparation services.

Van Milligen November 17, 2008 Page 2 those dollars into the Dubuque communityto assist low-income families. Lastyearthis effort completed 1,864 tax returns and brought $603,058 in EITC to city residents. In the 5 years that our agency has coordinated this program, over $3 miiiion in ETC returns have been provided to Dubuque citizens. HEATING ASSISTANCE IN DUBUQUE TOTALS 969 912 During the past year, our agency provided $969,912 in heating assistance to 2,558 households in the City of Dubuque. This included federal assistance along with state funding and locally donated funds from our "Keep Our Neighbors Warm Fund." WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE TOTALS 283 616 Our agency also provided weatherization assistance to 74 homes in Dubuque totaling $283,616. An average first-year energy savings resulting from weatherization measures is $487 per home. For those 74 homes, this resulted in energy savings if $36,038 during the first year. DUBUQUE WEATHERIZATION CHALLENGE ASSISTS 106 HOUSEHOLDS On October 25, 2008 our agency partnered with other Dubuque organizations to weatherize 106 homes of Dubuque's elderly, disabled and low-income citizens. Some 377 volunteers provided the weatherization measures to make these homes more energy efficient and save them money on their winter heating bills. Over $6,200 in supplies were provided, about $58 per home, to complete the project. Added to last year's project, we have now weatherized 203 Dubuque homes. AGENCY CORRELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES Our agency's mere existence, as well as the programs we conduct, are an excellent fit with many of the City Council's goals and priorities. A key goal is Partnering For A Better Dubuque. Our agency exists as a partnership that operates and achieves results through a vast network of partnerships. The sole purpose of these collaborations are to create a better Dubuque by serving low-income citizens, a population that is prone to miss out on the good life of Dubuque due to economic hardship. We are able to leverage a small amount of local dollars into over $5 million of assistance to Dubuque. We are actively engaged in Workforce Development and programs such as Project HOPE. In addition to employing nearly 100 people,we counsel and refer low-income citizens through workforce initiatives and advocacy. Our agency contributes to Sustainability and a Green Community through our energy conservation educational efforts as well as our residential weatherization program and high-profile events such as the Dubuque Weatherization Challenge. In addition, we are actively involved as advocates for renters for improved and fair housing in the area of Rental Licensing and Irresponsible Landlords. We are an active and participating force in the Washington Neighborhood as well as other Dubuque neighborhoods. The principles of Every Child/Every Promise are nothing new to our agency. Our Head Start program has existed for over 40 years in the City of Dubuque. This early childhood education program serves over 300 low-income children and their families in 9 centers in Dubuque. We effectively provide The Five Promises of Caring Adults, Safe Places, Healthy Start, Effective Education and Opportunities to Help Others. Michael C. Van Milligen November 17, 2008 Page 3 THE CITY'S SUPPORT IS CRITICAL As you know, our agency was created and continues to exist and operate as a public (not private) agency under a 28E Agreement. This agreement was signed by and between Dubuque County, Delaware County, Jackson County, and the City of Dubuque. These four local government entities all executed this agreement in order to create an agency which would provide a unified and coordinated effort to serve the needs oflow-income people through the community action program. As a result, millions of dollars have been mobilized in federal, state, local and private funds to fight poverty in the area. In essence, our agency is a department of the local governments that created us, and who have a stake in making sure that our agency has the resources to continue to provide services to local low- income citizens. Our agency must be able to rely on and expect the continued support of our "creators" to carry out the mission with which we have been charged and forwhich we were created. in additi oil 'rh6 v:~y of vw~o:,~gwe mainiains three ;v~ seals on our voara yr Direcicrs io prov iae over$Ig ht of the agency. As your local community action agency, Operation: New View has been providing services to Dubuque residents since 1974. Our mission is to help low-income citizens achieve self-sufficiency. Our agency is dependent upon local funding because our fund raising options are limited by our public status. Local funding support from the City of Dubuque is crucial to our agency both as a demonstration of local support for our programs and as the only source of funding which we have for maintaining positive cash flow and providing outreach services not provided by grants or other sources of income. Please contact us if you need additional information. We would be glad to meet with you in person to explain our programs, and services and answer any questions you may have. Again, our thanks for your support. Sincerely, OPERATION: NEW VIEW COMMUNITY ACTION AG NCY M.
