Fiscal
2001 was another
excellent year for WorkSource Enterprises and the people with
disabilities whom it served.
The year started off in a very positive manner with the
notification that WorkSource received accreditation for
three-years from CARF (the Commission on Accreditation of
Rehabilitation Facilities), an international accreditation body.
The three-year accreditation is reserved for the best
programs, making this an exceptional vote of confidence during
WorkSource's initial review.
AThis
achievement further evidences the organization=s commitment to
provide exceptional and diverse vocational opportunities for
persons with disabilities,@ said William D. Vining, Immediate Past
Chairman of the WorkSource Board of Directors.
CARF assessed WorkSource=s employment planning, employee
development, organizational employment, community employment, and
personal and social services.
The
three-year accreditation is awarded to organizations that fulfill
CARF standards and clearly indicate that present conditions
represent an established pattern likely to be maintained and/or
improved in the foreseeable future. AWorkSource Enterprises has
put itself through a rigorous peer review process and has
demonstrated that its programs and services are of the highest
quality, measurable, and accountable," commented Donald E.
Galvin, Ph.D., President and CEO of CARF.
CARF,
a private, not-for-profit, Tucson-based accreditation body
established in 1966, is committed to promoting the quality, value,
and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative
accreditation process that centers on enhancing the lives of the
persons served.
Throughout
the fiscal year, WorkSource benefitted from
the hard work and generosity of many in the
Charlottesville-Albemarle community.
WorkSource was beneficiary of partial proceeds from the
Monticello Wine & Jazz Festival on October 7 and 8, 2000.
BreadWorks had a booth at the festival that sold |
|
out
of goods on both days and generated revenues of $1,136.
The
Sixth Annual Italian Dinner & Silent Auction was held on
October 26, 2000 at The Elks Lodge. A listing of sponsors and auction item donors can be found on
page seven of this report.
We
hope that you will patronize the retail establishments that have
supported WorkSource.
On
the public relations front, BreadWorks was featured in a very nice
article in the Mid-Atlantic edition of the March 2001 issue of Southern
Living magazine. Many
new customers came to BreadWorks as a result of the article.
Reprints are available.
In
addition to this annual report, demographic information for the
year ended June 30, 2001, as well as comparative annual statistics
back to 1995, is available in the 2001 Annual Demographic Report.
Looking
ahead to fiscal 2002, page three describes a new program that
WorkSource has undertaken that will assist residents of
Charlottesville and Albemarle County in emergency financial
crises.
Due
to changes in federal regulations that go into effect on October
1, 2001, the Virginia Department of Rehabilitative Services can
only use federal funds for employment outcomes for clients who are
placed in integrated settings.
Thus, sheltered employment will no longer be a funded
option, even if it is the choice of the consumer and the best and
most appropriate placement for the client.
The new regulation is being implemented by the U.S.
Department of Education, in spite of over 3,000 letters in
opposition to the change.
Working
collaboratively with the Region Ten Community Services Board,
WorkSource will be shifting several clients from DRS funding to
Medicaid Waiver funding.
Additionally,
United Way funds and the WorkSource Scholarship Fund will be used
to ensure that clients receive service on an uninterrupted basis.

The
Charlottesville-Albemarle Coalition Assisting Residents in
Emergency Situations is a collaboration of public and
private organizations that serves as a clearinghouse for
those requiring limited emergency financial assistance. CARES eliminates the need for clients to contact multiple
donors or complete multiple applications for assistance.
The
program is designed to assist those with unexpected
expenses and those with imminent utility disconnection,
eviction, and/or mortgage foreclosure. CARES provides referrals to other agencies for other
assistance and long-term solutions to the immediate
issues.
CARES
serves residents of the City of Charlottesville and
Albemarle County who are 18 years of age or older.
It is funded by Albemarle County, the Albemarle
County Department of Social Services, the City of
Charlottesville and the United Way - Thomas Jefferson
Area.
Representatives
from these entities approached WorkSource in late spring
about managing the program and the WorkSource Board
approved it on June 13, 2001.
Due to space limitations, WorkSource will operate
the program off-site.
WorkSource
Enterprises took over management of the program on July 1,
2001. CARES is the successor to the Community Assessment Program
(CAP) that was founded in 1992 and was previously
sponsored by the Salvation Army and the Monticello
Community Action Agency (MACAA).
CARES
has a paid staff of two individuals, including Christina
A. Rees who manages the program and Sandra Wood who serves
as an intake specialist.
|
|
In
addition to the funding partners, the Alliance for
Interfaith Ministries (AIM), Love, INC and area
faith-based organization provide volunteer support and
direct financial assistance to those in need.
As
a general rule, those eligible for CARES must be
employed, must have a documented emergency need, must
have exhausted all possible available resources and must
have a source of income that can generally meet all
routine expenses.
There
are limitations on the amount of assistance and the
frequency of assistance that recipients can receive.
Once an assessment has been made and eligibility
has been determined, CARES contacts community resources
to try to obtain the needed assistance.
The
Alliance for Interfaith Ministries has historically been
the primary source of direct financial assistance and
serves as the conduit to the Federal Fuel Program during
winter months.
AIM
employs a part-time Executive Director and will relocate
its program to the same location as CARES.
CARES
is a model of inter-agency collaboration.
It seeks to address the needs of area residents
who find themselves in temporary financial predicaments.
It strives to treat people with dignity and
respect, while limiting duplicity of service and
potential fraud and abuse.
Since
WorkSource has worked with individuals receiving TANF
(Temporary Assistance to Needy Families), it has
experience working with individuals who are classified
as the Aworking poor.@ While the program is beyond the
scope of the WorkSource core mission, WorkSource
responded to a need in the community by agreeing to
manage the program.

clients earned well over $1 million in taxable wages through jobs

In
