Siletz Tribal 477 Self-Sufficiency Program Narrative Report for PL 102-477

October 1 2015 to September 30 2016

The Siletz Tribal 477-Self Sufficiency Program (SSP) has provided services to both Siletz Tribal members as well as other Natives as outlined in the 477-Plan The program is operating with (6) Tribal Service Specialists (TSS) (3) Intake SpecialistsJob Coaches (1) Administrative amp Monitoring Specialist (AMS) and a Program Director The AMS position is being reevaluated and the staff in that position has been temporarily transferred into a vacant TSS position The 477 Self-Sufficiency Program is operated out of (3) area offices (Portland Salem Eugene) and our central office located in Siletz Oregon

The Intake SpecialistJob Coach is responsible for all new intakes client workshopstrainings and carries the caseload for all Department of Labor Programs (Work Experience On-the-Job Training Classroom Training Core Services) and they service our Emergency Assistance cases This position is also responsible for providing services for youth on Temporary Assistance for Needy FamiliesNon-Needy Caretaker Relative (TANF) through TANF Purpose 3 and 4 The Tribal Services Specialists are primarily responsible for the day to day case management of TANF and General Assistance (GA) cases recertification of those cases and providing comprehensive services to our hardest to serve clients Many of those are considered unemployable

During the reporting year the Program served 412 participants a slight decrease from the previous year of 457 participants Of the total clients participating in programs there were 245 with an employment objective of the terminees 68 (24) entered into unsubsidized employment with an average earnings of $1361 for adult participants The economic situation in Oregon has improved and it reflects that in our overall figures The average earnings gains were higher than the previous year of $1248 but our overall employment numbers were down from 80 gaining unsubsidized employment The majority of our programs experienced fewer client numbers compared to previous years The major decline in client numbers took place in our cash assistance programs We continue to experience low case load numbers for the TANF program We didnt experience an increase in caseload figures in any of the three reporting categories This is due to several families reaching the 60-month time limit and there are more jobs available in rural areas of the service area Weve noticed that the improved economy has resulted in employable clients remaining on services for a shorter period oftime More of our long term clients who are unemployable are receiving more targeted case management and several have been approved for socia l security benefits

As of October 2016 Oregon was ranked 14th highest unemployment rate compared nationally Oregon has a 48 percent unemployment rate and the national average is 47 percent Here is a breakdown of each county and major city that is served with in our 11 county service area

bull Cit y of Eugene 52 City of Portland 47 City of Salem 49

bull Benton County 38 Clackamas County 45 Lane County 52

bull Lincoln County 57 Linn County 56 Mari on County 49

bull Multnomah County 43 Polk County 50 Tillamook County 50

bull Washington County 42 Yamhill County 45

Page 1 of 10

The countiescities highlighted reflect higher unemployment rates than the State average Out of the eleven counties served six are still above or at the national average in unemployment and six counties remain above the state of Oregons unemployment average

The 477-Participants are working towards self sufficiency in various ways The case management strategy varies by office location due to the different population types they serve The Portland Salem and Eugene offices serve mostly urban populations while the Siletz central office serves mostly rural areas The amount of resources varies greatly by location and county The Program has been utilizing the strength based approach where we focus on skills and strengths the participant already possesses We utilize a client assessment questionnaire that has been very useful at identifying additional client barriers The client case plan is then developed with the client to overcome those identified barriers

During this past year we held several certificate training opportunities that are identified below We had (26) participants achieve a higher education goal and several others participated in GED programs or short term vocational training We had (29) participants successfully complete a Work Experience contract (24) Participants utilized Direct Placement for assistance with work ready clothing and tools Our average count of participants throughout the 11 county service area is around (133) per month which would be a little over (33) participants per office receiving services The Program provided (1053) referrals to clients for access to other resources and employment opportunities and we provided (3445) client appointments We had (115) participants reach a significant goal and received an incentive award A few goals that were obtained this last year include

bull Obtained a GED (4)

bull Participants obtaining unsubsidized employment (70)

bull Lifestyle changes by obtaining services in mental health or alcohol and drug treatment

bull Received cosmetology license and started own small business

bull Successful completion of a work experience placement

bull Successful competition of an On-the-Job Training position or education program

bull Long term cash assistance participant obtaining employment

bull Participate in the Increasing Your Success client conference

bull Participated in workshops hosted monthly in each area location

The Program provided the following workshops and certificate trainings to clients and youth

bull Flagging Certification - 25 participants certified

bull Oregon Liquor Control License -15 certified

bull Food Handlers -18 certified

bull Forklift Training - 10 certified bull Interview strategies monthly job club meetings Native Wellness trainings interview

skills resume development Kempo classes for youth Money Five (five week financial fitness class) social security first aidCPR employment skills financial strategies classes hosted by local Worksource offices Goodwill trainings life skills

bull The Program also sponsors quarterly youth activities in-conjunction with Housing Behavior Health and Education prevention programs These prevention activities were more frequent during summer months Program staff participated in the annual Youth Conference as well

Page 2 of 10

We worked closely with Tribal programs State and County agencies to identify funding resources training and employment opportunities We continuously partner with Siletz Vocational Rehabilitation and our Higher Education Department on mutual clients to combine resources and support for participants as they work towards their goals and objectives We often share client costs resulting in significant financial savings for multiple programs These partnerships allowed us to develop more than (24) new employment worksites that are utilized for Work Experience On-the Job Training and Direct Placement

Other ResourcesPartnerships

One of our most significant partnerships was with the Siletz Valley Early College Academy (SVECA) Once the Program outlined policies regarding TANF Purpose 3 and 4 we met with SVECA to collaborate on a career exploration class for students The objective is to introduce SVECA students to various vocational trade industries through hands-on projects in areas of mechanics plumbing carpentry electrical welding and other disciplines The elective class is targeting both middle and high school students The class focused on careers that students can obtain without a college education We know that not all youth plan to attend college and we want to prepare them for careers that pay a living wage when they graduate This is achieved by partnering with local volunteers and professionals Several occupational instructors presented weekly classes in their profession The professionals presented their greatest work achievements background of education and experience needed for the profession required safety requirements introduction and practice of basic tools for the project develop a project outline and assign tasks for students The students then complete the project with assistance from the professional and teacher This year the careers varied and included operation of small hand tools measuring cutting lumber small business development knifetool sharpening computer assemblyrepair urban forestryclimbing trees arborist and the students built a storage shed and homeless hut The shed was donated to SVECA and the homeless hut is being donated to a client in need of shelter The Program provided startup funds to make this class possible The funds were utilized for instructor fees and supplies The class will be self sustaining within the next several years SVECA provides the Program with quarterly reports on youth served expenditures narrative of activities and pictures

As part of our 477 review it was recommended that we develop a computer lab training center for clients We took this seriously and spent several months identifying funding and office space The Siletz Tribal Council has allocated tribal funding for the computer lab and a location was selected at the end of the year We hope to provide trainings and staff meetings through video conferencing The ability to video conference with each office will reduce travel and training costs

Challenges

An ongoing challenge we face each year is the amount of youth funding we receive from the Department of Labor (DOL) Our yearly allocation is not enough to fully serve one client We are faced with locating other funds to supplement the summer youth employment and education programs This year we served fewer youth then we did last year The burden of locating funding is becoming more difficult The Program prioritizes youth services so we ensure that all eligible and approved applicants are served We plan to address this issue with the State of Oregon and local workforce boards to see if there can be a partnership that will provide

Page 3 of10

additional funding and support for our youth We partner with our tribal Education Department to ensure youth receive services from either program

Our clientele face other challenges and barriers such as transportation The costs and issues vary by office location In the Portland area bus passes cost an average of $100 monthly and have increased slightly each year The cost is slightly lower in the other area offices The Siletz area faces the largest challenge Bus routes are limited and lengthy A one way trip to the Tribal casinoLincoln City from Siletz could take four hours or more Job searching in that area or traveling to the Tribal Administration Office is challenging The 477 Director is the Chairman of the Siletz Tribal Transit Service Committee and we are working to address these barriers Additional routes have been established and Tribal members can ride the local bus for free within Lincoln County Our goal is to add additional buses routes and reduce the length of routes

The Program prioritized upgrading the data collection and reporting programs in 2015-2016 Staff previously entered data in four separate databasesprograms to get reports and statistics required The Director and AMS identified necessary changes and worked with Eaglesun Systems to consolidate our process into one single program The process took over a year was costly and we experienced several setbacks The staff received training on the new system in September 2016 This phase of the project eliminated two previous databases The next phase will eliminate all other databases We continue to identify additional data entry needs and issues with our system We hope to have all aspects of this update completed in 2017 The completed system will allow staff to issue all forms and contracts monitor expenditures track year-end data submit TANF quarterly reports track employerscommunity partners track events under TANF purpose 3-4 electronic routing for signatures and create a near paperless file system

Increasing Your Success Client Conference 2016

Our 477-Plan states that we will host a yearly client conference and this year we called it lncr~asing Your Success The conference was held March 22d-24th at Aldersgate Retreat Center located just outside Salem OR This conference takes months of planning and to date it was our most successful We had 61 participants attend the conference They provided great reviews and suggestions to make the next one even better The clients enrolled in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families General Assistance for Single Adults Work Experience Classroom Training and Core Training were required to attend

Workshops included Diabetes team activities re-entry self care internships vs apprenticeships SSISSD healthy relationships online applicationsresumes dress for success native life skills dealing with trauma spending frenzy (life budgeting activity) and several other team building activities The Program provided certification training for food handlers cards and flagging 18 participants received their food handlers cards and 25 are now certified flaggers We hosted a culture night that included beaded necklaces drum stick making and painting

The 477-Participants are working towards self sufficiency in various ways The case management strategy varies by office location due to the different population types they serve The Portland Salem and Eugene offices serve mostly urban populations while the Siletz central office serves mostly rural areas The amount of resources varies greatly by location and county The Program has been utilizing the strength based approach where we focus on skills and strengths the participant already possesses We utilize a client assessment questionnaire that has been very useful at identifying additional client barriers The client case plan is then developed with the client to overcome those identified barriers

During this past year we held several certificate training opportunities that are identified below We had (26) participants achieve a higher education goal and several others participated in GED programs or short term vocational training We had (29) participants successfully complete a Work Experience contract (24) Participants utilized Direct Placement for assistance with work ready clothing and tools Our average count of participants throughout the 11 county service area is around (133) per month which would be a little over (33) participants per office receiving services The Program provided (1053) referrals to clients for access to other resources and employment opportunities and we provided (3445) client appointments We had (115) participants reach a significant goal and received an incentive award A few goals that were obtained this last year include

Page 2 of 10

We worked closely with Tribal programs State and County agencies to identify funding resources training and employment opportunities We continuously partner with Siletz Vocational Rehabilitation and our Higher Education Department on mutual clients to combine resources and support for participants as they work towards their goals and objectives We often share client costs resulting in significant financial savings for multiple programs These partnerships allowed us to develop more than (24) new employment worksites that are utilized for Work Experience On-the Job Training and Direct Placement

Other ResourcesPartnerships

One of our most significant partnerships was with the Siletz Valley Early College Academy (SVECA) Once the Program outlined policies regarding TANF Purpose 3 and 4 we met with SVECA to collaborate on a career exploration class for students The objective is to introduce SVECA students to various vocational trade industries through hands-on projects in areas of mechanics plumbing carpentry electrical welding and other disciplines The elective class is targeting both middle and high school students The class focused on careers that students can obtain without a college education We know that not all youth plan to attend college and we want to prepare them for careers that pay a living wage when they graduate This is achieved by partnering with local volunteers and professionals Several occupational instructors presented weekly classes in their profession The professionals presented their greatest work achievements background of education and experience needed for the profession required safety requirements introduction and practice of basic tools for the project develop a project outline and assign tasks for students The students then complete the project with assistance from the professional and teacher This year the careers varied and included operation of small hand tools measuring cutting lumber small business development knifetool sharpening computer assemblyrepair urban forestryclimbing trees arborist and the students built a storage shed and homeless hut The shed was donated to SVECA and the homeless hut is being donated to a client in need of shelter The Program provided startup funds to make this class possible The funds were utilized for instructor fees and supplies The class will be self sustaining within the next several years SVECA provides the Program with quarterly reports on youth served expenditures narrative of activities and pictures

As part of our 477 review it was recommended that we develop a computer lab training center for clients We took this seriously and spent several months identifying funding and office space The Siletz Tribal Council has allocated tribal funding for the computer lab and a location was selected at the end of the year We hope to provide trainings and staff meetings through video conferencing The ability to video conference with each office will reduce travel and training costs

Challenges

An ongoing challenge we face each year is the amount of youth funding we receive from the Department of Labor (DOL) Our yearly allocation is not enough to fully serve one client We are faced with locating other funds to supplement the summer youth employment and education programs This year we served fewer youth then we did last year The burden of locating funding is becoming more difficult The Program prioritizes youth services so we ensure that all eligible and approved applicants are served We plan to address this issue with the State of Oregon and local workforce boards to see if there can be a partnership that will provide

Page 3 of10

additional funding and support for our youth We partner with our tribal Education Department to ensure youth receive services from either program

Our clientele face other challenges and barriers such as transportation The costs and issues vary by office location In the Portland area bus passes cost an average of $100 monthly and have increased slightly each year The cost is slightly lower in the other area offices The Siletz area faces the largest challenge Bus routes are limited and lengthy A one way trip to the Tribal casinoLincoln City from Siletz could take four hours or more Job searching in that area or traveling to the Tribal Administration Office is challenging The 477 Director is the Chairman of the Siletz Tribal Transit Service Committee and we are working to address these barriers Additional routes have been established and Tribal members can ride the local bus for free within Lincoln County Our goal is to add additional buses routes and reduce the length of routes

The Program prioritized upgrading the data collection and reporting programs in 2015-2016 Staff previously entered data in four separate databasesprograms to get reports and statistics required The Director and AMS identified necessary changes and worked with Eaglesun Systems to consolidate our process into one single program The process took over a year was costly and we experienced several setbacks The staff received training on the new system in September 2016 This phase of the project eliminated two previous databases The next phase will eliminate all other databases We continue to identify additional data entry needs and issues with our system We hope to have all aspects of this update completed in 2017 The completed system will allow staff to issue all forms and contracts monitor expenditures track year-end data submit TANF quarterly reports track employerscommunity partners track events under TANF purpose 3-4 electronic routing for signatures and create a near paperless file system

The countiescities highlighted reflect higher unemployment rates than the State average Out of the eleven counties served six are still above or at the national average in unemployment and six counties remain above the state of Oregons unemployment average

The 477-Participants are working towards self sufficiency in various ways The case management strategy varies by office location due to the different population types they serve The Portland Salem and Eugene offices serve mostly urban populations while the Siletz central office serves mostly rural areas The amount of resources varies greatly by location and county The Program has been utilizing the strength based approach where we focus on skills and strengths the participant already possesses We utilize a client assessment questionnaire that has been very useful at identifying additional client barriers The client case plan is then developed with the client to overcome those identified barriers

During this past year we held several certificate training opportunities that are identified below We had (26) participants achieve a higher education goal and several others participated in GED programs or short term vocational training We had (29) participants successfully complete a Work Experience contract (24) Participants utilized Direct Placement for assistance with work ready clothing and tools Our average count of participants throughout the 11 county service area is around (133) per month which would be a little over (33) participants per office receiving services The Program provided (1053) referrals to clients for access to other resources and employment opportunities and we provided (3445) client appointments We had (115) participants reach a significant goal and received an incentive award A few goals that were obtained this last year include

bull Obtained a GED (4)

Page 2 of 10

We worked closely with Tribal programs State and County agencies to identify funding resources training and employment opportunities We continuously partner with Siletz Vocational Rehabilitation and our Higher Education Department on mutual clients to combine resources and support for participants as they work towards their goals and objectives We often share client costs resulting in significant financial savings for multiple programs These partnerships allowed us to develop more than (24) new employment worksites that are utilized for Work Experience On-the Job Training and Direct Placement

Other ResourcesPartnerships

One of our most significant partnerships was with the Siletz Valley Early College Academy (SVECA) Once the Program outlined policies regarding TANF Purpose 3 and 4 we met with SVECA to collaborate on a career exploration class for students The objective is to introduce SVECA students to various vocational trade industries through hands-on projects in areas of mechanics plumbing carpentry electrical welding and other disciplines The elective class is targeting both middle and high school students The class focused on careers that students can obtain without a college education We know that not all youth plan to attend college and we want to prepare them for careers that pay a living wage when they graduate This is achieved by partnering with local volunteers and professionals Several occupational instructors presented weekly classes in their profession The professionals presented their greatest work achievements background of education and experience needed for the profession required safety requirements introduction and practice of basic tools for the project develop a project outline and assign tasks for students The students then complete the project with assistance from the professional and teacher This year the careers varied and included operation of small hand tools measuring cutting lumber small business development knifetool sharpening computer assemblyrepair urban forestryclimbing trees arborist and the students built a storage shed and homeless hut The shed was donated to SVECA and the homeless hut is being donated to a client in need of shelter The Program provided startup funds to make this class possible The funds were utilized for instructor fees and supplies The class will be self sustaining within the next several years SVECA provides the Program with quarterly reports on youth served expenditures narrative of activities and pictures

As part of our 477 review it was recommended that we develop a computer lab training center for clients We took this seriously and spent several months identifying funding and office space The Siletz Tribal Council has allocated tribal funding for the computer lab and a location was selected at the end of the year We hope to provide trainings and staff meetings through video conferencing The ability to video conference with each office will reduce travel and training costs

Challenges

An ongoing challenge we face each year is the amount of youth funding we receive from the Department of Labor (DOL) Our yearly allocation is not enough to fully serve one client We are faced with locating other funds to supplement the summer youth employment and education programs This year we served fewer youth then we did last year The burden of locating funding is becoming more difficult The Program prioritizes youth services so we ensure that all eligible and approved applicants are served We plan to address this issue with the State of Oregon and local workforce boards to see if there can be a partnership that will provide

Page 3 of10

additional funding and support for our youth We partner with our tribal Education Department to ensure youth receive services from either program

Our clientele face other challenges and barriers such as transportation The costs and issues vary by office location In the Portland area bus passes cost an average of $100 monthly and have increased slightly each year The cost is slightly lower in the other area offices The Siletz area faces the largest challenge Bus routes are limited and lengthy A one way trip to the Tribal casinoLincoln City from Siletz could take four hours or more Job searching in that area or traveling to the Tribal Administration Office is challenging The 477 Director is the Chairman of the Siletz Tribal Transit Service Committee and we are working to address these barriers Additional routes have been established and Tribal members can ride the local bus for free within Lincoln County Our goal is to add additional buses routes and reduce the length of routes

The Program prioritized upgrading the data collection and reporting programs in 2015-2016 Staff previously entered data in four separate databasesprograms to get reports and statistics required The Director and AMS identified necessary changes and worked with Eaglesun Systems to consolidate our process into one single program The process took over a year was costly and we experienced several setbacks The staff received training on the new system in September 2016 This phase of the project eliminated two previous databases The next phase will eliminate all other databases We continue to identify additional data entry needs and issues with our system We hope to have all aspects of this update completed in 2017 The completed system will allow staff to issue all forms and contracts monitor expenditures track year-end data submit TANF quarterly reports track employerscommunity partners track events under TANF purpose 3-4 electronic routing for signatures and create a near paperless file system

Increasing Your Success Client Conference 2016

Our 477-Plan states that we will host a yearly client conference and this year we called it lncr~asing Your Success The conference was held March 22d-24th at Aldersgate Retreat Center located just outside Salem OR This conference takes months of planning and to date it was our most successful We had 61 participants attend the conference They provided great reviews and suggestions to make the next one even better The clients enrolled in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families General Assistance for Single Adults Work Experience Classroom Training and Core Training were required to attend

One of our most significant partnerships was with the Siletz Valley Early College Academy (SVECA) Once the Program outlined policies regarding TANF Purpose 3 and 4 we met with SVECA to collaborate on a career exploration class for students The objective is to introduce SVECA students to various vocational trade industries through hands-on projects in areas of mechanics plumbing carpentry electrical welding and other disciplines The elective class is targeting both middle and high school students The class focused on careers that students can obtain without a college education We know that not all youth plan to attend college and we want to prepare them for careers that pay a living wage when they graduate This is achieved by partnering with local volunteers and professionals Several occupational instructors presented weekly classes in their profession The professionals presented their greatest work achievements background of education and experience needed for the profession required safety requirements introduction and practice of basic tools for the project develop a project outline and assign tasks for students The students then complete the project with assistance from the professional and teacher This year the careers varied and included operation of small hand tools measuring cutting lumber small business development knifetool sharpening computer assemblyrepair urban forestryclimbing trees arborist and the students built a storage shed and homeless hut The shed was donated to SVECA and the homeless hut is being donated to a client in need of shelter The Program provided startup funds to make this class possible The funds were utilized for instructor fees and supplies The class will be self sustaining within the next several years SVECA provides the Program with quarterly reports on youth served expenditures narrative of activities and pictures

As part of our 477 review it was recommended that we develop a computer lab training center for clients We took this seriously and spent several months identifying funding and office space The Siletz Tribal Council has allocated tribal funding for the computer lab and a location was selected at the end of the year We hope to provide trainings and staff meetings through video conferencing The ability to video conference with each office will reduce travel and training costs

Challenges

An ongoing challenge we face each year is the amount of youth funding we receive from the Department of Labor (DOL) Our yearly allocation is not enough to fully serve one client We are faced with locating other funds to supplement the summer youth employment and education programs This year we served fewer youth then we did last year The burden of locating funding is becoming more difficult The Program prioritizes youth services so we ensure that all eligible and approved applicants are served We plan to address this issue with the State of Oregon and local workforce boards to see if there can be a partnership that will provide

additional funding and support for our youth We partner with our tribal Education Department to ensure youth receive services from either program

Our clientele face other challenges and barriers such as transportation The costs and issues vary by office location In the Portland area bus passes cost an average of $100 monthly and have increased slightly each year The cost is slightly lower in the other area offices The Siletz area faces the largest challenge Bus routes are limited and lengthy A one way trip to the Tribal casinoLincoln City from Siletz could take four hours or more Job searching in that area or traveling to the Tribal Administration Office is challenging The 477 Director is the Chairman of the Siletz Tribal Transit Service Committee and we are working to address these barriers Additional routes have been established and Tribal members can ride the local bus for free within Lincoln County Our goal is to add additional buses routes and reduce the length of routes

The Program prioritized upgrading the data collection and reporting programs in 2015-2016 Staff previously entered data in four separate databasesprograms to get reports and statistics required The Director and AMS identified necessary changes and worked with Eaglesun Systems to consolidate our process into one single program The process took over a year was costly and we experienced several setbacks The staff received training on the new system in September 2016 This phase of the project eliminated two previous databases The next phase will eliminate all other databases We continue to identify additional data entry needs and issues with our system We hope to have all aspects of this update completed in 2017 The completed system will allow staff to issue all forms and contracts monitor expenditures track year-end data submit TANF quarterly reports track employerscommunity partners track events under TANF purpose 3-4 electronic routing for signatures and create a near paperless file system
