Community Service Agency:

Discussion, consideration, and action on amendment to the FY 2019 Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs for program year 2019, with authorization for Judge Ramon Garcia and Jaime Longoria to sign any and all pertinent documents, as recommendation by Hidalgo County Community Service Agency Board on December 20, 2018.
Correction: Caption should read Judge Richard Cortez.
Jaime Longoria presented the 2019 Community needs assessment, every 3-years the agency undertakes a needs assessment. The process to construct the assessment includes workshops, they go out into the community, and hold public forums with constituents to find out the needs of the community are. After compiling the collected data, they found five needs, which essential will determine how the agency allocates funds for the next 3-years.
The five identified needs are as follow:
1) Lack of affordable healthcare and assistance with major health conditions.
2) Lack of job skills necessary for better wages.
3) Lack of knowledge regarding resources available in the community.
4) Lack of access to affordable nutritious food.
5) Lack of support for special population (Veterans, foster care, DACA participants & migrants).
Jeremy Everett Executive Director at Texas Hunger Initiative, Baylor University, said that hunger is a big issue in the nation and in the state with 1 in every 4 children experiencing hunger, and 1 in 6 adults experiencing hunger here in the valley. According to Everett, about 30% of the children population here in the valley are experiencing hunger, however thanks to the work being done by the community agency, they have been able to reduce hunger by 10% in the past decade. On the other hand, four of the federal nutrition programs that come into the county last year brought in over $500 million dollars. The director explained that the way this money works, is that if an individual applies for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) they are spending those resources in the grocery store and therefore supplying 1 in 10 jobs at the grocery stores. Further, this system also affects local farms.
Despite the huge need in the community, last year there was $150 million dollars left in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Everett said that building private and public coalitions will be a way to be able to utilized the resources.
Judge Cortez questioned where the issue was that prevented from accessing the leftover $150 million. Everett explained this was due to being unable to communicate to people of those eligibles funds and being able to provide adequate points to be able to sign up for the program. On that note, Judge Cortez asked how this issue could be resolved. Everett, said this could be solved by investing more in programs like the county's community service agency. Also, non-profit organizations could assist, as well as working with schools to be able to provide after school meals.
Elaine Hernandez, Regional Director at Texas Hunger Initiative, Baylor University, said there are other programs such as the WIC program and the Head Start Program, among others that are trying to assist with the hunger initiative program.
Longoria informed that as part of the family needs assessment, when a family seeks assistance the agency conducts a very comprehensive needs assessment to find the best program for them.
Commissioner Cantu acknowledged that the Boys and Girls Club assist with the hunger initiative program by providing after school meals.
Judge Cortez suggested finding a different approach to these type of presentation items. In such a way that each colum will represent the current issue and thereafter each colum showing the problem solving and the outcome.
