2010 Report to the People
If you walk through the halls at
CEDA you will commonly find
someone knowledgeable of CEDA’s
storied past. The knowledge that
person may possess will not be derived from history books or gossip
survived through the years, but
likely from personal experiences
and interactions that have shaped
their lives and fueled their desire to
help others.
For some staff, this dedication
spans decades, stemming from the
annals of CEDA’s birth to its present day reverence. Just as with big
companies where an individual can
live out his or her dreams of starting
out as a mailroom clerk to becoming president, CEDA boast a staff
rich with individuals in leadership
positions who began their journey
on the concrete blocks at the grassroots level. CEDA was built by everyday people who understand everyday struggles.
In 2010, CEDA continued its dedication to “Put America Back to Work”
with funding from the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA). Through ARRA, CEDA
added hundreds to Cook County’s
workforce.
At CEDA, “Dedication” leads to client satisfaction.
Development
If
you travel through Berwyn,
Calumet Park, Chicago, Chicago
Heights, Cicero, Evanston, Ford
Heights, Harvey, Mt. Prospect,
Robbins, Summit, and many other
municipalities, villages and townships throughout Cook County you
will often be within a few miles of
a CEDA Community Development
Agency (CDA), energy assiatnce
site or affiliated organization located in the community working
on behalf of CEDA. As part of CEDA’s mission to work in partnership
with communities to achieve selfsufficiency, economic development
remains the focal point of helping
underserved populations.
Community engagement begins
the process of real revitalization.
Partnerships with local businesses, organizations, elected officials,
residents and civic leaders provide
CEDA with key information and resources that is critical to assessing
and addressing the specific needs
of each community. Whether the
need is job creation, energy assistance or educational training
for youth, CEDA works to develop
and implement programs that are
self-sustainable and successful in
achieving set goals.
At CEDA, “Development” leads to community action.
If you visit any one of our seven Com-
munity Development Agencies (CDAs)
throughout suburban Cook County,
you will see the faces of CEDA: AfricanAmericans, Caucasians, Asians, Hispanics, Italians, Russians, and many
other races and ethnic groups that
call upon CEDA in their time of need.
While CEDA proudly serves more than
375,000 individuals and families each
year, the depth and breadth of CEDA’s
diversity extends beyond its clients.
CEDA operates more than 40 programs
and services that address the myriad of
issues that families are faced with each
day. No two CEDA programs are the
same—the Housing department can
help prevent a family from losing their
home to foreclosure, as well as transition homeless individuals and families
into permanent shelter. This form of
diversity is the hallmark of CEDA’s success and can be found across all programming departments.
In 2010, CEDA delved deeper into the
cultures and traditions of its diverse clientele. CEDA staff walked side-by-side
with members of the Chinese American
Service League (CASL) through Chinatown to celebrate the Chinese Lunar
Year “Year of the Dragon, 4708,” the
most important of the Chinese traditional holidays. Over several days, CEDA’s External Affairs Specialists (EAS)
mingled with the estimated 1 million
At CEDA, “Diversity” leads to broader understandings.
Letter to the People
In 2010, CEDA was presented with a variety of
unique challenges that would test our organization’s capacity to continue delivering the
best client service that community action has
to offer. In working to meet these challenges,
as an organization, we rediscovered three core
principles that have been the foundation to
CEDA’s success: Development, Dedication,
and Diversity.
to the next level. We witnessed unparalleled
“Dedication” from a group of more than 600
employees who worked tirelessly to ensure the
most in-need individuals and families were
within reach of becoming self-sufficient. And
through the “Diversity” of our staff, network
of volunteers, partners and friends, CEDA
strengthened its cultural ties to numerous
communities of rich ethnic backgrounds.
These three principles, which carry the theme
for CEDA in 3D, are presented here in our annual report to exemplify the significance of
their meanings and impact of their practices.
As a Community Action Agency, we relied on
the depth of our experience in economic “Development” to help push our programming
CEDA in 3D is both an introspective look and
subjective view behind CEDA’s mission to combat poverty, foster economic parity, and advocate self-sustainability. In this year’s report
you’ll find case studies, client testimonials, an
array of capturing photographs and hard facts
that support our work in the areas of Child and
Family Development, Community Development, Education, Employment and Training,
Energy Efficiency, Home Energy Assistance,
Health and Nutrition, and Housing.
Additionally, we are proud to highlight some of
the many accomplishments that were achieved
with funding from the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). CEDA’s focus
on helping to stimulate the economy and “Put
America Back to Work” was truly a mission we
were honored to undertake.
Honorable Seth D. McCormick
Chairman, Board of Directors
In closing, we ask that you continue to support
the good work of CEDA, and help us, change
lives.
Robert L. Wharton
President and CEO

American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) played a key role in enabling CEDA to further support and assist residents of Cook County during the
economic recession. Programs that operate under the Community Services Block
Grant (CSBG) witnessed a significant increase in client enrollment and in many
cases exceeded targeted benchmarks. Other programs such as Home Weatherization, Head Start, Housing and Workforce Development experienced similar
growth and production trends due to the additional funding provided through
the stimulus.
According to a recent study, “ARRA Funding Community Impact,” many CEDA
program departments faced initial implementation barriers when required to expand existing programs. The study notes, the delayed release of awarded ARRA
funding, compounded by the need to hire and properly train a new workforce
and adopt new policies and procedures to operate efficiently, contributed to less
desirable outcomes for some programs. However, in many cases, CEDA utilized
its network of partners to leverage resources and collaborated with the Marketing
Department to optimize community outreach and ultimately meet the needs of
increased client demand.
Community
(CSBG)
Services
Block
Grant Head Start/Early Head Start
CEDA was charged with implementing all
CSBG ARRA programs and expending all of the
$5.9 million stimulus dollars originally awarded in May 2009 by no later than September 30,
2010.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
made a tremendous impact on existing and
new CSBG programs. Under ARRA, incomeeligibility guidelines increased from 125% to
200% of the federal poverty level. This significant change meant that an increased number
of individuals, families and households were
able to receive CSBG services. To support the
increased demand for CSBG services, funds
from ARRA were used to facilitate staffing
needs that allowed CEDA to maintain quality
client service. As a result, more than 70 new
jobs were created at CEDA in the areas of program support, counseling, supervision, and
field work.
Funding from ARRA initially expanded Head
Start and Early Head Start services to reach
an additional 192 income-eligible families,
also providing support for teenage mothers
and battered women. Additional ARRA funding awarded for the next program year adds
an extra 100 child care slots, for a total of 292.
These funds also support several crucial areas
of CEDA Head Start, which enables comprehensive improvements to programming and
operational output.
Weatherization
CEDA created jobs for 71 additional new hires
in the Weatherization department.
As of November 26, 2010 a total of 8,610 units
had been weatherized and passed final inspection under the ARRA funded Weatherization
program, which includes both single family
homes and multi-unit buildings. With funding provided by ARRA, CEDA has been able to
expand opportunities to minority-owned contractors and businesses.

Lemont Snoddy, a 34 year old veteran, has been
a resident of Pickney House, the CEDA BloomRich Transitional Housing for U.S. Veterans
Program since August 2010.
Before coming to CEDA, Snoddy worked for
his family’s real estate business. With the collapse of the Housing market, the realty business closed leaving him jobless and homeless. Upon entering the Transitional Housing
Program, Snoddy stated that his goals were
to obtain employment and secure permanent
housing, and that he needed support to help
facilitate these endeavors.
Each day Snoddy came into the Bloom-Rich
office and to use the computers for the Educational Enrichment Program to do job searches.
On August 27, 2010 Snoddy met with the ARRA
funded Central Intake Specialist and inquired
about services at the site and was referred to
and in an ordered steps fashion, enrolled into
the Employment Capacity Building and FCD
programs.
cured a position with Northwestern CollegeBridgeview Campus where he works as an Admissions Representative.
After discovering he landed the job, Snoddy
asked for help to dress for success.
The Workforce and Economic Development
Program offered to let him “shop” in the established work clothes closet and “suited him up”
with two suits, dress shirts, ties, and a trench
coat.
CEDA Bloom-Rich and the entire CEDA family
can be extremely proud of how our programs
and services have assisted this individual working toward self-sufficiency.
“I am so humbled and grateful to know that
CEDA is here for me. Everyone within all the
programs has been helpful, and candid with
me,” said Snoddy.
“I really appreciate the support from CEDA all
the way to the downtown office, to help me get
job ready.”
CEDA Bloom-Rich staff observed that this veteran demonstrated a strong work ethic and a
diligence to succeed. He attended the BloomRich Neighborhood Forum in September and
the ARRA funded Veterans Program as well.
He has volunteered at the site to distribute food
baskets each month for seniors, and during
special outreach activities like Project Share.
Snoddy took advantage of many of the programs CEDA has to offer. He worked with the
Employment Specialist to update his resume,
and continued to go out on job interviews.
After going on many interviews, Snoddy se-

Recovery at Work
ARRA Stories of Success
Early Head Start
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) is known as government funding designated for “Putting America Back to Work”.
For more than 45 years CEDA’s mission has
paralleled this goal by helping families reach
self sufficiency through a myriad of services.
CEDA’s first and largest program, Head Start,
has reached much success through the implementation of the ARRA grant allowing the expansion of the Early Head Start program. What
began as a means for CEDA Head Start to expand its reach and fulfill a business goal has
transformed into a window of opportunity in
staff development, priceless relationships and
a new grassroots strategy in community enhancement.
While ARRA has helped individuals recover
through work and employment, all ARRA staff
are renewing essential Head Start principles
through the work they do every day. Through
the ARRA Early Head Start program, staff
members have enhanced their curriculum
through trainings, like Quality Improvement
and their education through certifications like
the Child Development Associate certificate,
which all CEDA Early Head Start staff have
now obtained. These trainings not only allow
teachers and staff to expand classroom ideas
but also help them create an environment for
excellence in education. Many staff are now
certified as bilingual and are sharing this
knowledge with the children as well.
Health and hygiene are a cornerstone of the
Head Start model and ARRA has transformed
many habits of the children and their families
for the better. At the Advanced Preschool in
Hoffman Estates, Director Kimberly Bianchini
has been amazed at the influence the ARRA
Early Head Start program has made on her entire site. “Because many of our families battle
with unhealthy eating habits, we were grateful
as the program provided support for nutrition,
sleep and exercise routines,” she said. “The nutritional focus has allowed the families to positively impact their overall health.”
CEDA Early Head Start has committed to reinvesting ARRA funding in communities
throughout suburban Cook County as a means
of stimulating local economies but also to
share the wealth of knowledge with community childcare providers. As a leader in early
childhood services, CEDA Early Head Start
has strategized to reach the neediest families
by providing services in community childcare
facilities. Sites like Advanced Preschool in
Hoffman Estates and TCH in Markham, have
incepted many Early Head Start principles and
curricula to share with non-Head Start children at the sites. Many of these sites have received structural improvements through ARRA
such as windows and “green” playgrounds, and
all have received important technological upgrades to improve communication within the
program as well as the community.
Through ARRA funding, CEDA Early Head
Start has positively impacted the lives of individuals and families by creating communities
of hope and progress. Education, employment
and excellent service are the values that have
manifested in the communities served through
ARRA Early Head Start. These are truly our recovery dollars at work.

ARRA Stories of Success
Home Weatherization
Weatherization of Evanston homes is an important part of Evanston’s Climate Action Plan
and of financial importance to homeowners
who are struggling to pay their utility bills.
CEDA Neighbors at Work have been helping
Evanston residents to make their homes more
energy efficient through outreach and Home
Weatherization measures.
Celia Michener purchased her small Cape
Cod, Evanston residence in the spring of 2009.
Her home, built in 1960, needed some updates
to improve energy efficiency and lower her
heating and cooling bills. Ms. Michener received the weatherization grant and auditors
visited her home to perform several extensive
energy and safety checks including a blower
door test and detections for carbon monoxide.
After the audit, contractors soon came to complete the recommended work in her home.
They provided Ms. Michener with two fire extinguishers, two smoke detectors, two carbon
monoxide detectors, and replaced almost all
incandescent light bulbs with CFL light bulbs
equivalent to 60-watt incandescent bulbs.
They also replaced the air ducts in the dryer
and changed the valve and the gas supply line
into the water heater.
In two short visits all the work in Ms. Michener’s home was completed. The work done in
her home was valued at $5,200, but was done
at no cost to her, as with all work done under
the Weatherization grant.
CEDA Weatherization reduced gas usage by
22.7 percent in her home and these savings
will continue year after year.

1965, serving communities in south suburban
Cook County. CEDA initiated its first Head
Start program in suburban Cook County just
two years later. CEDA Head Start currently
serves 3,069 pre-school children, infants, toddlers and their families through thirty Head
Start centers in suburban Cook County.

SET employees donated money for the cause,
and the week of Thanksgiving surpassed their
own expectations by doubling that donation to
50 food baskets.
The SET staff delivered the assembled food
baskets to CEDA’s Ford Heights location on

CEDA Calumet Park
CEDA Calumet Park is the only CEDA location that dedicates itself first and foremost to
eradicating energy and food insecurity within
its service area.
Research confirms that LIHEAP is a crucial
resource for protecting the health of America’s
youngest and most vulnerable children. And,
that babies and toddlers who live in energy
insecure households are more likely to be in
poor health, have a history of hospitalizations,
be at risk for developmental problems, and be
food insecure.
During the spring and summer, CEDA Calumet Park, in partnership with The Greater
Chicago Food Depository and the Calumet
Township Senior Center, provided space and
volunteers for GCFD Producemobiles. GCFD
Producemobiles are farmer’s markets on
wheels that deliver fresh fruits and vegetables
to low-income areas.
A Producemobile volunteer packs fresh produce into a Calumet Park resident’s
box.

quality of life and ultimately achieve self-sufficiency.
The 2010 Benefit Gala was a celebration of the
many successes CEDA has seen throughout
the years as well as a major fundraising effort
to help families still in need.
Over 400 guests, including CEDA’s partners
from Chicago businesses, community organizations and the faith-based community, attended the Benefit Gala on May 8, 2010 in the
Navy Pier Grand Ballroom.
