These funds may be used, and have been previously used for a variety of projects to be selected by local officials. Eligible activities include: Acquisition and demolition of blighted property Housing rehabilitation Elimination of physical barriers for the handicapped Public facilities and improvements Street Reconstruction Code Enforcement Public Water projects Economic Development Public Services (total allotment limited to 15%) Town Residents are invited to attend this public hearing on Tuesday, October 24, 2017 7:31 PM at the Southold Town Hall, 53095 Main Road, Southold,New York, to express citizen views on local housing community development needs to be met with these funds. This hearing has been noticed and I have a signed affidavit that this has been posted by the Town Clerk's office on the Town Clerk's bulletin board. I also have a copy here and a signed affidavit that this hearing was in fact noticed in the Suffolk Times. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I am going to invite anybody that would like to comment on this particular local law to please feel free? 2018 Community Development Block Grant Public Hearing October 24, 2017 page 2 HELEN FINNEGAN: Good evening, my name is Helen Finnegan and I am the President of the Board of Community Action Southold Town, CAST. Our executive director, Cathy Deverato is actually at training in North Carolina and won't be back until next Friday but she, through me, extends her apologies for not being able to be here and meet you all tonight. I think most of you know that CAST has been serving the community since 1965'to create and provide a safety net for neighbors in need as well as to have programs that promote self-sufficiency for those neighbors to (inaudible) have their own ability to manage their lives. CAST's vision is that for every neighbor, basic needs are met and we can provide tools for them to build a better life for themselves. In 2017, we had several people changes, the first being that Denis Noncarrow who had been our president for four years, met his term limit. It's the only officer position that we have at CAST that has a term limit. So he stepped down as president but has remained on the Board and is about to enter his 11th year as a member of the Board. Our second big change, is that Linda Ruland who was our executive director for the previous two years elected to retire and she left big shoes to fill, as did Denis. So I took over for Denis in January of this year and Cathy Deverato in June after Linda left us at the end of March. The reason that I handed out the fliers, our fall newsletters, is that it has all the numbers of things that we have done and rather than take your time and recite them all, there's a little blue box in there and you can just take a look at the various activities we do and the number of people that we have served. But I would just like to highlight two of those, one is, we have had year to date which is nine months, nearly 7,500 individual visits to CAST. We have served 693 households, and the reason that I am confident in these numbers is we had a volunteer couple from Southold who built a program for us so we now have an i-pad entry system where people literally come in, they sign in and it gives them the opportunity to say they are here for the food pantry, I am here for the sharing room which is clothing and household goods, I am here for assistance with benefits and so our tracking has become much stronger. What we do is among the people we serve are struggling seniors, veterans, immigrant single mothers and children, these are the members of our community who have been disproportionately impacted by the growing challenges that we all face. Increased housing costs, energy, food and healthcare costs, lack of affordable housing, limited full-time year round employment opportunities, some stagnant wages and finite transportation options. And CAST strives to assist people in each of those areas, in order to help them to again, move toward self-sufficiency. It's not our goal for us to provide these services to everyone throughout their entire lives. Just as important, is we actually serve the residents of Southold Town by providing a direct, local way for neighbors to help neighbors. As I think many of you know, the vast majority of our funding is from private individual donations. We have a small grant from the County, we appreciate that, it's less than you have been able to give us in the past, and we have just gotten a grant from Bank of America but everything else is just individual donations. We have very generous neighbors here and we are grateful for everything that they do. in the food pantry, we've done over 1,000 distributions, just year to date, nine months. And this is historically where we have applied the funds that the town has been able to allocate to us. As I said, I won't go through everything that we do because it's all in that brochure but we do our best on minimal amounts of money for the people that we serve. We do seasonal programs as well, many of you are familiar with the Feed a Kid program which is when kids are out of school, if they are in school lunch programs during the year, we actually feed them over Christmas, we feed them over the winter break and we feed them over the summer. We have a school supply drive, we were able to do almost 50% more in backpacks, so this year we had backpacks that 2018 Community Development Block Grant Public Hearing October 24, 2017 page 3 were filled with notebooks and pens and rulers and everything that every child would need and that was available to anyone in the community. We had people who were regular users of CAST and we had parents who heard about the program and just came in and asked if they could get one as well. And so everybody is welcome at CAST. It's not a need based organization. You can come in and you can get help on anything that you need. So just in closing, I just would llike to say that it is a testament to the town that we actually are in our 52nd year of existence. That this town has kept it afloat this long is amazing. And we are grateful to you for all of your support over the years and look forward to your continued support in the next year if possible. So thank you very much. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Would anybody else like to address the Town Board on this particular local law? KAREN MCDONALD: Hello, my name is Karen McDonald, I am here to represent an organization called the Butterfly Effect Project. We are a non-profit organization, we are a mentoring and empowering group for young girls, ages 6 to 14. A completely free program. I don't know if any of you are familiar with our program, maybe not, we are currently headquartered in Riverhead, with our meetings. We meet with our girls every two weeks. We have meeting places both in Riverhead and in Bellport but I would like you to read our mission statement so you understand a little bit about what we do. Our mission is to empower young girls by giving them the tools to assist in achieving emotionally stable and self-confident futures, which will bring forth a generation of women who are strong, independent and knowledgeable. It is our goal to ensure that every girl who is enrolled in the program has a fair chance to broaden their horizons, while eliminating obstacles such as mobility, cultural differences and finances. With the help of the many communities, every child will experience diverse activities that will mold and challenge their minds while promoting academics, hard work and self-confidence. The Butterfly Effect Project will provide a safe place for young girls to be free, expressive and prosperous. Involvement in this program today will ultimately have a positive impact on their lives tomorrow. This is a completely free program for all girls. We reach out to girls (inaudible) socioeconomic, ethnic areas. We started three years ago with just eight girls. We currently have 80 girls enrolled in both locations and we are serving girls in Riverhead, Westhampton, Southampton, Mastic Beach. We would like to bring our program to Southold because we think there is a need here. We think that probably there are underserved girls and other girls that maybe are just being missed in school or at home for whatever reason. We provide speakers, we promote academics, smart choices, field trips. We provide girls things like if they need hygiene products, school supplies and like I say, the program is free for everyone. We pretty much do our own fundraising, we beg, we borrow, we think about stealing but we don't. We are on the verge of getting some grants, we are hoping to get more. Our founder, Tijuana Fulford was a disadvantaged child herself, grew up in Riverhead, was lucky enough to have a mentor. The Town Historian in Riverhead, Justine Wells, actually mentored her as a child. She was able to finish school, go to college. She is a professional and her passion was to start to give back to girls that otherwise might be missed. She is actually at the Southampton Town meeting tonight doing the same thing. So my husband and I are here pitching for her. we would love to start a pilot program in Southold and move our services this way, any consideration you guys could give us for grant money we would be deeply, deeply appreciative. Thank you. 2018 Community Development Block Grant Public Hearing October 24, 2017 page 4 SUSAN COTRONE: Susan Cotrone, Maureen's Haven. Good evening. My name is Susan Cotrone and I am a proud member of the Board of Director's for Maureen's Haven. I also own East End bagels in Southold and I am a teacher at North Fork Head Start. Thank you for the opportunity to address you this evening to request funding to support our life-saving work. Maureen's Haven provides safe, warm temporary shelter to homeless individuals from November 1- April 1 by utilizing over 23 houses of worship located throughout the twin forks. Members of 17 congregations and community organizations offer additional support and help comprise the over 1,500 dedicated and selfless volunteers that provide an estimated 20,000 hours of community service to our guests. Maureen's Haven is responsible for screening and transporting homeless guests to the host facilities each evening. In October 2011, we opened a day center in order to provide services focused on building self-sufficiency and provide respite during the day for those in need. All are welcome at the day center, clothing, food and case management services are available. We also partner with other agencies to provide mental health and substance abuse treatment. Some of our host congregations offer free medical care provided by volunteer doctors and nurses from the nearby community hospitals and clinics. For this upcoming 2017-2018 shelter season, we are hoping to establish a critically needed foot clinic. Last winter we served 357 individuals over 115 nights. Our average number of guests per evening was 46 with a high of 53. Overall, 5,983 beds were made for the season. Of that total, 80% were male and 20% were female. At least half of our guests are temporarily or `first- time' homeless. Generally, they are the working poor who have suffered setbacks like job loss, illness, loss of transportation or divorce. The other 50% of our guests are chronically homeless. They often face one or more serious issues, including mental illness, addiction and cognitive or developmental disabilities. According to Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 2014 point in time report, 34% of the total homeless population is under 24 and tragically, most of our statistics bear this out. An unfortunate continuing trend for us has been the influx of young people. On any given night, 39% of our guests have been under the age of 25. Of those, 50% have been under the age of 21. This 39% indicates a very slight decrease from the previous year but one that is neither statistically significant nor any less alarming. Many are runaways or former foster children who have aged out of state services or they have been victims of abuse or homophobia at home. Well known throughout the communities as a safe haven, we are often the first point of entry for the newly homeless. We believe that our reputation for compassion and inclusiveness is what has attracted so many young people to continue to seek solace and shelter from us. Through Maureen's Haven, our homeless guests can access programs that meet their immediate needs, support them through transitional periods and lead them back towards self- sufficiency and long term success. We assist homeless adults to acquire supportive housing through Suffolk County's Single Point of Access and more recently, the Housing First Model in partnership with the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless. We help our guests with securing entitlements and advocate for them tirelessly. In an effort to provide services to the homeless in Southold Town, we have partnered and collaborated with the faith communities of Southold First Presbyterian Church, St. Peter's Lutheran, St. Patrick's, Southold Unitarian, and the civic organizations of the Southold Rotary, local Boys and Girls Scout troops and many others to provide overnight shelter, nutritious meals and other supportive services. We are very appreciative of the past support we have received from the Town of Southold and respectfully request funding once again in support of our program. We ask the Town Board to consider an allocation of $5,000 to assist in the cost of screening and transporting our guests to the host 2018 Community Development Block Grant Public Hearing October 24, 2017 page 5 facilities throughout the season, ongoing operations of our day center and to offset the salaries of the program staff. Thank you for your consideration of this request. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Would anyone else like to address the Town Board on this? Denis? DENIS NONCARROW: Denis Noncarrow, Government Liaison Officer for Southold Town. Just very quickly, for the 2018 block grant funds, we would like to continue to do the handicap upgrades at the Recreation Center and the Community Center such as the ramp, power doors, doing more for the parking lot to make them handicap accessible. For 2017, we have that planned and for 18 we plan on continuing that because there is quite a bit to do. They are very well-used buildings now, so we are trying to get them up to ADA standards, so we will keep everybody posted. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you, Denis. The allocations for the Block Grant Funding, I don't have a breakdown of where the money, don't we assign the money tonight as a result of the hearing? JUSTICE EVANS: No, we don't do that tonight. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anyone else like to address the Town Board on this particular public hearing? (No response) I would just like to say before we close the hearing, when I first became Supervisor, my first year was 2006, we had over $400,000 in Community Block Grant funding to,distribute among all the needy organizations in the community. We are now at about $55,000 this year and last year we were actually down in the $40,000's, so we actually went up a little bit but that's a substantial drop over the decade. It's really a shame.
