Requirements OEO Instructions 6320-1: In developing its strategies and plans, the Community Action Agency shall take into account the areas of greatest community need, the availability of resources, and its own strengths and limitations. From the CSBG Act – Section 676(b)(11): To secure from each eligible entity in the State, as a condition to receipt of funding, a community action plan (which shall be submitted to the Secretary, at the request of the Secretary, with the State plan) that includes a community- needs assessment for the community served, which may be coordinated with community-needs assessments conducted for other programs; Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, Section 201(a) “to stimulate a better focusing of all available local, State, private, and Federal resources upon the goal of enabling low-income families, and low-income individuals of all ages, in rural and urban areas, to attain the skills, knowledge, and motivations and secure the opportunities needed for them to become self-sufficient.” Methodology of Assessment Data within this report was compiled from the below sources. Data sources include: Agency Data as reported on annual reports to HUD (PiT Counts, HMIS), OEO (ROMA) , and OHS (PIR) Review of demographical information from US Census—American Community Survey 2009-2013 (5 Year) or 2011-13 (3 Yr), Surveys of Social service professionals (157), Program Participants (118): Survey data is indicated by the symbol: ⫸ County Web Sites: Goodhue, Olmsted, Rice and Wabasha Minnesota Department of Education, Department of Health, Minnesota Housing Authority, Department of Employment and Economic Development, Office of Labor, Minnesota Demographics, MN Compass Various other data sources as sited in end notes.

Executive Summary of Identified Needs Housing: The need for affordable housing continues to be a high need within all four counties. o Homeless shelters are at capacity—the only homeless shelter in Rice County is utilized as a Domestic Violence Shelter due to ongoing need. o Domestic Violence Shelters have been at capacity in the past years. o Cost is prohibitive for low-income seniors to move from their home into Assisted Living facilities. o Increased need for larger “affordable” housing near public transportation is needed in all counties. Seniors: o As population is aging in Wabasha (at a faster pace than the other counties—Goodhue also has a higher percentage of seniors in comparison to the working population), further evaluation of community supports s may be needed to accommodate the community’s current need. o Counties are not currently able to accommodate requests for supports in the home especially in more rural areas. o Transportation is needed for medical appointments, shopping and for socializations. Language & Cultural Shifts: o Rice County has had significant language and cultural shifts in the past decade. Olmsted County has also continued to have new populations within the community. More supports for the newer populations is yet needed. Children o There is not enough programming within any service area to offer four year old programming for all children as of yet. There is even less programming options for children who are three years old within the community. o For the youngest children, all four counties have need for additional services for children under the age of three. Health o Dental services remain a barrier for persons on Medicaid. The continual expansion of endeavors such as the Health Finders Dental Grant programs is needed within the community. Expansion of community clinics such as the C.A.R.E. Clinic and Good Samaritan Clinic are needed to provide basic oral health care for underinsured or uninsured. o The new tax penalty for not having insurance (April 2015) has yet unknown impacts on the community for those who are not able to afford health insurance. Transportation o Hiawathaland Public transportation offered in Rice, Goodhue and Wabasha is not fully meeting needs for the working population that could utilize the system: To utilize the transportation system for work, routes will need to be offered earlier, later and on weekends. 5|P ag e

For working parents, they are not able to use the system to drop their children off at work and get to work for their start time. Cost of tickets and bag limitations are also potential deterrents for any family needing to use public transportation to a food shelf or grocery store. In Olmsted County, more transportation options are needed to access the Channel One Food Shelf. Low cost hands-on driver’s education is a need within the community.

Figure 9 Population by age groups by County
Since 2010, there has been a decrease or little growth in most of the counties in the younger population(less than 18 years old); and a larger increase with the older population (over 65 years old). This change in aligned with current
13 | P a g e
Minnesota State projections that the age demographic of persons 65 years or older will double in size between 2010 and 2035—and the youth population will grow at a slower rate. Since the recession in 2007, the birth rates for many populations have slowed with the exception of new refugee or immigrant mothers who account for 18% of births in Minnesota. v Figure 10 Age Shifts by Young and Older Populations

Public Transportation by County Hiawathaland Transit offers public transportation in the counties of Goodhue, Rice and Wabasha Counties and outside the primary service area, the city of Winona. The services offered as demand-response and route deviation service to the general public.

Demand-response services are called “dial-a-ride” and are offered in all three counties. Route deviation services are offered—upon request. The buses do not enter into any housing complexes, mobile (trailer) parks or multi-use dwellings. Transportation is offered on a first-come, first serve basis—asking residents to make reservations 24 hours in advance if possible. Passes can be purchased at city halls, public works buildings, several stores and a bank. Children can ride the bus (unattended) to preschool programs or school programs at a rate of $3.50 per day. For Head Start children, Hiawathaland Transit bills the costs to the Head Start program. Parents or Guardians complete the Student Information Form to request for a ride. City Bus drivers drop off the children in front of the school directly to an adult attendant from the education program. Rides cost $1.25-1.75 per one-way trip; one child under two years old can ride free with a paying adult. Punch passes are purchased for either $12.50 or $17.50. Per the website, after 10 punches, one ride is given for free. For $10.00, persons can ride between service areas. Only two bags are allowed per passenger.

Comments regarding transportation: “There are huge barriers (in employment) but transportation is one of the biggest, first hurdle to be climbed.” Auto Maintenance, Costs: Many people need help with fixing cars, getting insurance, low cost options for behind the wheel training (2) Support for finding reliable cars. (2) Many clients drive without a license due to not having a legal car or person to practice with. (2) Other comments regarding transportation were largely about the services in Goodhue, Rice and Wabasha: No transport in Wanamingo, Zumbrota, Faribault, Northfield and Lonsdale. People in Rice County don’t necessarily live where they work. Bus does not run early enough to get clients to a job that starts at 6am. This means higher paying jobs at hospitals, nursing homes, production facilities are all then—not a possibility. Buses would need to start probably by 5am so that people could get kids to child care, get back on the bus and then get to work. (3) Since Three Rivers runs Hiawathaland Transit—it would be great if the agency would consider the need to start running the bus earlier in the day, and also run 7 days a week. (3) Many clients who do rely on busses are unable to get to work for an overnight or evening shift since the buses do not run at night. These clients often lose their jobs—or take a taxi to work which is very costly. Participant surveys also commented on Hiawathaland Transit: o I would like the bus to run longer (later) o Bus needs to run on the weekend. o Bus needs to be more reliable or on time or answer the phone

Participant Survey showed that the majority of persons (with the exception of seniors) depended most on driving—17 persons reported using the bus for work on occasion.

Spring Creek Townhomes were completed in the spring of 2014 and now provide twenty-eight units of highly energy efficient family housing to residents of Northfield. Prairiewood Townhomes in Faribault was completed in the summer of 2014 and added thirty affordable family rental housing units to the community, including four units set aside for formerly homeless families. Three Rivers is operating the housing as permanent affordable rental housing. These units were built to meet a community need of offering large affordable rental housing to families with children. There are over one-hundred fifty children living with their families in the new housing opportunities. xxxv Figure 30 All Housing by County and Housing Loss & Gains 2010-2013

The percent of households with at least one person over 65 years old is growing within the community. In all four counties, seniors tend to be home owners rather than renters. As this population ages, more help in the home will be needed, which is a generally less expensive model of carexlii—or seniors may need to leave their home to live in assisted housing options, which often is cost prohibitive. xliii Service Adult Day Care Assisted Living

There are seven thousand nine hundred thirty-seven (7,937) senior households living at or under $30,000 annually, with two thousand five hundred eighty-two (2582) seniors who are living at or below 100% of poverty in the service counties. Median household incomes for persons over 65 are $36,698 in Goodhue County, $42,288 in Olmsted County, $36,349 in Rice County and $34,597 in Wabasha. Barriers for long term care are largely due to costs, life expectancies rising, and spending down of funds prior to receiving public assistance is a deterrent for many. xliv Minnesota ranks 6th most affordable for senior care in comparison to other states. xlv

Public Housing is a federal program funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Public Housing is available to low-income families and individuals. Eligibility is based on annual gross income, elderly or disabled, or a family, and US citizen or immigration status. The income guidelines are : 80% of the county’s median income or lower to be considered low income, 50% of the median income to be considered very low-income. xlvii Within the service area, there are five Housing and Redevelopment Authorities: Rice County HRA offers Housing Choice Vouchers; Faribault HRA offers Affordable Rent opportunities; Olmsted County HRA offers both Section 8 Housing and Affordable Rent opportunities; Southeast MN Multi-County HRA offers both section 8 and Affordable Rent opportunities, serving Wabasha and Goodhue (with the exception of Red Wing HRA service area.) Red Wing HRA offers Affordable Rent opportunities. Rental assistance is a type of housing subsidy that pays for a portion of a renter’s monthly housing costs, including rent and tenant paid utilities. This housing assistance can come in the form of Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, projectbased Section 8 contracts, public housing, USDA Rental Assistance (in Section 515 properties) as well as HUD Section 202 and 811 properties. It’s important to remember that in many rental assistance programs there are minimum rent regulations requiring assistance recipients to make a minimum payment of between $25 and $50 per month no matter how low their income. To qualify for most rental assistance programs a renter must earn no more than 50% of the Area 53 | P a g e
Median Income (AMI). In some cases, rental assistance is reserved for renters earning 30% or less of the AMI. Below is the 50% AMI for a family of four by each county:
In Goodhue County, the 50% AMI is $36,300 or less. In Olmsted County, the 50% AMI is $42,250 or less. In Rice County, the 50% AMI is $36,900 or less.
In Wabasha County, the 50% AMI is $34,500 or less.
In Goodhue County, there are twenty-two (22) affordable housing properties providing rental assistance to seven hundred fifty-two (752) very low income households. In Olmsted County, there are twenty-two (22) affordable housing properties providing rental assistance to one thousand four hundred ninety eight (1,498) very low income households. In addition, Olmsted County HRA provides five hundred thirty-two (532) Section 8 rental vouchers in Olmsted County and the surrounding area. In Rice County, there are thirty-one (31) affordable housing properties providing rental assistance to eighty hundred eighty-six (886) very low income households. In addition, Rice County HRA provides three hundred twenty-nine (329) Section 8 rental vouchers in Rice County and the surrounding area. In Wabasha County, there are eight (8) affordable housing properties providing rental assistance to two hundred eighty-three (283) very low income households. In addition, Southeast MN Multi-County HRA provides three hundred seventy (370) Section 8 rental vouchers in Wabasha County and the surrounding area, including Goodhue County. xlviii Agency Red Wing HRA Olmsted County HRA HRA of Faribault (city) Rice County HRA Southeast MN Multi-County HRA

Annually, there is a point in time count administered across the United States to “count” the homeless. Per the last point in time count in Minnesota, there were over 8000 persons who were counted as homeless. Since 2007, there has been an increase within the state of Minnesota—of about 14%. li Within the Southeast corner of Minnesota, the most recent counts show a decrease (a percent change of -19.5%) for Homeless individuals, while showing an increase (a percent change of 21.2%) for families within this area.lii
Within the counties of Goodhue, Olmsted, Rice and Wabasha, there are four hundred fifty-four (454) beds available. During the 2014 Point in Time count, the shelters were 97% full. Services include ten emergency shelters including two specifically for domestic violence victims, six transitional housing (two specifically for domestic violence victims), fifteen permanent supportive housing programs and one rapid rehousing program. liii Of the four hundred ten (410) persons served via Three Rivers during 13-14 time period, forty-five percent (45%) were children under 18 years old; ten percent (9.7%) were young adults between 18 and 24 years old, almost two percent (1.7%) were over sixty-two. 56 | P a g e

The majority of homeless persons served are white however persons of color are over represented by the proportion of persons within the community. It is unknown if the over-represented populations are all from Southern Minnesota, as five families served in the last program year were from other areas of Minnesota or out of state. With the Family Housing Prevention and Assistance Program, more funds are used for Prevention from becoming homeless—for persons who are at risk either losing their home (foreclosure) or rental (eviction). In the last program year, all prevention funds were used to avoid evictions (rental). With CoC and Transitional funding, prevention services can only be used in instances where the individual or family is within one week of losing housing, or literally homeless to provide funds. Of the persons entering into programs this past year, fourteen percent (13.6%) had a disability, just over 1% of participants were Veterans (1.4%), and eight percent (8.3%) had been in domestic violent relationships. For the Family and Transitional housing programs, twenty percent (20.3%) were first time homeless, nine percent (8.9%) had frequent history of being homeless, but did not meet the HUD definition of long term homelessness and less than one percent (one household) met the HUD definition of long term homeless.
Survey ⫸The community provider survey identified needing more housing for chemical dependency, supports with heating costs, subsidized rental housing, and transitional shelters as high needs.

Comments from the provider survey included concern about the lack of affordable housing (5), the unseen homeless (2), lack of homeless shelters (2), waiting list for subsidized housing (4), issues for housing with prior poor choices (2), and concern about the quality of the HRA and Section 8 quality of buildings “Safe, accessible and affordable housing is a key of successful communities. How we build a spectrum of housing options is important.” “Recently in Rochester we have seen rental prices sky rocket! There are now very few options for less than $5-600 monthly before factoring in utilities. These options are not safe. The issue here is individuals making even $9.00 hour and 35 hours a week are at 50% of their wages in housing costs alone, leaving little for transportation, food etc.” Comments from the participant survey included public transit needed near their subsidized housing, concern with the company DMC (Destination Medical Center, Rochester) entering.

⫸From the participant survey, 4% were living with friends or families, 2% were in “other” situations, 26% owned and 68% rented. Fourteen percent (14%) were facing foreclosure in the previous year. Participants were asked to select items that would most help them in their housing situation and as well what their community needed. Items in both were affordable housing, rental assistance, and heating costs.

Health & Safety Health Rankings of each County While Minnesota ranks the third healthiest state across the nation liv, each county is also ranked from 1 (the healthiest) to 87 (the least healthy) in two categories. Health Outcomes measures length of life and quality of life based on poor health, sick days, mental health days and low birth rates. On this measure, Olmsted ranks 17th; Rice ranks 21st; Goodhue ranks 43rd and Wabasha ranks 45th. County

Within the Goodhue community, a Community Health Needs Assessment was completed for Cannon Falls, Lake City and Red Wing by the Mayo Clinic System finalized in September 2013. Building off both Wabasha and Goodhue Counties 2012 Community Health Needs Assessment, the end results were prioritizing Obesity, Access and Mental Health. Obesity is a growing concern within the two counties, with 25-30% of self-reported “obesity” within the community surveyed. Access by public transit is a hardship due to transportation only being offered during day hours and difficult access to the C.A.R.E. clinic—the only free clinic within the community. Mental Health Services and diagnostics are limited at best within the community. Secondary emphasis will be placed on Transportation services and Highway Safety in Cannon Falls; Transportation Services and Senior Services in Lake City; and Diversity and Senior Services in Red Wing. lvi
In 2013, a Community Health Needs Assessment was completed by Olmsted County Public Health, Olmsted Medical Center and Mayo Clinic-Rochester. They identified five top health priorities Mental Health Concerns, Obesity with 64% of adults overweight and 28% obese; financial stress and homelessness with 26% of surveyed adults concerned about paying monthly bills; diabetes with 8% of the community diagnosed with diabetes—and 20% of seniors with diabetes and vaccine preventable diseases due to only 76% of children being up to date on immunizations and only 60% of residents receiving an annual flu shot. Major community health concerns from further conversations via a phone survey and listening sessions found that communication was an issue with multiple languages in the community—including a feeling of inclusiveness within minority populations within the community. Other issues identified were about access to
62 | P a g e
care (cost, wait time, where in the community to find services), cultural competency of providers, Disease and Health issues including dental services. lvii Rice County recently completed a Community Health Assessment, with the draft version currently available. Currently the data indicates a need for additional dental services available as many respondents from the community-wide survey indicated delayed care was due to costs. This is further backed by the high number of persons using the District One Emergency Room for dental pain as well as the number of patients served by the new dental service by HealthFinders Collaborative. Other priorities noted were with Mental Health Access, noting concern of cost; binge drinking, noting the prevalence is higher than state averages, and issues with both obesity as well as an increase of the rate of diabetes within the community. A full plan and further conversation is in works currently on how to proceed. lviii In 2013, Saint Elizabeth’s Medical Center released the Wabasha County Community Health Assessment with key concerns identified in the following areas: Seniors—safety concerns of seniors living alone, need for family care giver supports, home assistance and affordable senior living; Mental Health—improving access to services; Oral Health— improving access to affordable dental services; Obesity, and Prevention and Wellness – reducing obesity and increasing healthy habits. Within this assessment the need for more transportation services was also noted.lix Statewide Health Improvement Initiatives (SHIP) lx Another indicator of healthy communities is community investments such as the SHIP initiatives. All four counties have had some program efforts in the past few years. Outcomes for the most recent year are shown below. County Goodhue

Medical Facilities All Counties have a Veteran’s Affairs Office within the county—however any medical services are only offered in Rochester or Minneapolis. The only Level I trauma hospital is located in Olmsted County, (Rochester’s Mayo Hospital) for both pediatrics and adults. Each County has Public Health services—such as WIC, Immunization Clinics, and based on community priorities identified in the SHIP plan, other additional services. Public Health services are detailed below.lxi Goodhue County has eight medical clinics, one free and reduced clinic (dental/medical), one pregnancy/STD clinic and six dental offices. Olmsted County has three hospitals, five medical providers with numerous clinics, one medical and four low-cost dental clinics, and seventeen dental offices, four accepting MA payments. Rice County has one hospital, seven clinics, and three free or reduced clinics for medical & dental services, eight dental offices and two pregnancy support clinics. Wabasha has two medical clinics, and two dental offices. Immunization Clinics Each county offers immunization clinics at a cost to adults and children. Goodhue County offers a low cost immunization clinic of $15.00 per immunization (fee waiver available) two hours every Tuesday. Olmsted County charges $20.00 per shot with a sliding fee scale for low income persons. The clinic is open weekly in the afternoon. Rice County charges $5.00 to uninsured, underinsured or MN Health Care program with clinic hours as well in the afternoon. Wabasha County refers to community clinics. Goodhue County has 54% children aged 24-35 months up to data on immunizations per EPSDT standards; Olmsted County has 82.2%; Rice County has 66.4%; and Wabasha County has 75.4%. Minnesota’s state average is 62.9%. lxii Health Insurance In 2010, the federal health reform (the Affordable Care Act) became law providing additional tools, guidelines and requirements as the United States moves towards a community of insured. The state of Minnesota created the webbased system for applicants and businesses to review options called MNSure is the only place that persons can apply for financial support to cover costs associated with the new mandates. MNSure provides links and numbers to contact for additional help in applying for coverage. Starting in 2014, a tax penalty will be assessed of either $95 per adult or 1% of taxable income (up to $285). In 2015, this penalty is scheduled to increase to $325 per adult or 2% of taxable income (up to $975). In 2016, the penalty will again increase to $695 per adult or 2.5% of taxable income (up to $2085). Each year after the penalties will rise. For children, the penalty is half the cost of adults. Penalties are not health care coverage—and if persons are penalized and get sick—they still do not have health insurance. Exemptions, which need to be applied for, are available in the following situations: 64 | P a g e
Individuals who cannot afford the coverage that is available Individuals who have suffered a hardship, including eviction, bankruptcy or domestic violence Individuals who have been uninsured for less than three months Members of a federally-recognized tribe Members of a religious group that objects to health coverage Members of a health care sharing ministry Individuals who are incarcerated
Currently the state of Minnesota offers the following health programs which are state or federally subsidized: Medical Assistance pays for medical care for very low-income Minnesotans. There are eligibility requirements for the program. (Income must be under $1293 per month for one person—add $449 for each additional) Federal and state dollars pay for MA. lxiii County Goodhue Olmsted Rice Wabasha

Households in Poverty Within the four counties, there are four thousand three hundred twenty-five (4,325) families—or about 6% living in poverty. Eight hundred sixty-eight (868) live in Goodhue County; one thousand seven hundred forty-eight families (1048) live in Olmsted County; one thousand two hundred seventy-seven families live in Rice County (1277) and four hundred thirty-two (432) families live in Wabasha County. As with current trends within the nation, over half the families in poverty are female single parent (57%); a third of families are a married couple (33.3%) and slightly under ten percent are male single parents (9.5%). By county, female single parent families are highest in Goodhue (59%) and Olmsted (58%); with Rice (55%) and Wabasha (54%) just behind. Wabasha has the highest percentage of male single families at sixteen percent (16%), while Olmsted is at ten percent (10%); Goodhue at nine percent (9%) and Rice at eight percent (8%). For “Non-Family” Households, women have a much higher probability of being in poverty in comparison to men. This is especially true in Rice County where women make up 74% of persons in poverty of non-family households. This becomes even more of an issue when looking at the age group of persons over sixty-five.

Survey Data From the provider survey, 60 respondents stated that there were barriers for access to food shelves: 70% increase the number of times low income persons are allowed access monthly 82 | P a g e
53% more personal items such as laundry soap, deodorant etc. 50% quality of food options 42% lack of food items normally in diet –(such as culturally specific) 58% open in more locations 62% open more hours 17% other: Transportation (8) and carrying food to home.
Overall comments were largely about needing a better way of getting to the food shelves- this was noted in all communities, with more emphasis on the location of the Channel One food shelf. Additional concerns were regarding the number of times of participants can go to the food shelves, limited hours of food shelves— making it hard for working families to get food if needed, the need for higher quality food with less processed options, meal planning or food preparation skills needed, concern about clear labeling on non-pork items, personal care items. From the Participant Survey, better hours and increase the number attending was the highest need.
