o Self Sufficiency Standards for Cattaraugus County
In order to fully assess the needs of our constituents, we begin with an exploration of the real costs of living in
Cattaraugus and Allegany Counties. These costs are summarized in the Self Sufficiency tables shown below and on
the following page. The development of the New York State Self-Sufficiency Standard was overseen by a dedicated
group of Steering Group Committee Members led by representatives from the Empire Justice Center and the New
York State Community Action Association. Organizations represented on the Steering Committee are all dedicated to
helping families and individuals achieve economic security and work to provide opportunities for all. Further
information for all of New York State can be found at
http://www.nyscommunityaction.org/SelfSuffStandardFiles2010/NY10%20SSS_FinalWeb_062210.pdf
As we then review data and needs in various categories such as nutrition, housing, health care, and so on, we will
reference back to this standard for the purposes of identifying gaps between the resources of county residents and
the actual costs of living here.
The Self Sufficiency Standard measures how much money families of various compositions need in order to meet
their basic needs. The standard varies across the state.

The poverty rate for families with female headed households, with no husband or similar male figure present, stands
at 28.5%. When these same female headed households have children under 18, the poverty rate increases to
36.8%, and for those same households with children less than 5 years of age, the poverty rate explodes to 61.2%.
42% of all children living in poverty in the U.S. live with their mothers, not their fathers (Acs and Nelson 2003).
Female headed households comprise 13% of Cattaraugus County’s population. Twenty-five million American
children (or 33.5% of children in the U.S. live without a biological father; these numbers are higher among some
minority groups (American Humane 2009). In Cattaraugus County, 45% of all adult males are single, separated or
divorced, and 44.5% of all births are to women who are widowed, divorced, or never married. This compares to a
national rate of about one-third of all births to unmarried mothers. For low income populations, that data is even more
alarming; nationally, only 47% of low income parents are living together at the time that their child is born, and at least
18% are not even romantically involved at the time of the birth of their child (Devaney 2003).

New York State: Asset Poverty
Data presented on the preceding pages is based largely on the Federal Poverty levels; Federal Poverty Levels are
the official measurement used by the government to determine poverty status. It is not necessarily an accurate
reflection of the number of households who struggle to meet basic needs. Additional forms of measurement include
the Self Sufficiency standard presented earlier in this section, and the concept of asset poverty.
The Corporation of Enterprise Development (CFED), whose goal is to “empowers individuals and families to build and
preserve assets by advancing policies and strategies that help them go to college, buy a home, start a business, and
save for now and for the future.” states, “A household is considered asset poor if it does not have sufficient net
worth (total assets minus total liabilities) to live at the poverty level for three months in the absence of income.” In
addition, the CFED defines a household as Liquid Asset Poor if it does not have sufficient liquid assets to live at the
poverty level for three months without a source of income. This measurement reveals another side of poverty –
households who are one pay check away from financial crisis. In New York State, 36% of households are asset poor
and 46% are liquid asset poor.
Additional indicators of asset poverty in New York State are shown in the following graph:

employment during the reference week, were available for work, except for temporary illness, and had made specific
efforts to find employment sometime during the 4-week period ending with the reference week.” Therefore, the local

Per the local WIB Board, underemployment is much more difficult to track and because it is subjective; there are no
solid statistics on the number of county residents who are underemployed – working fewer hours than they would like
or working for lower wages because they are unable to find full time employment or employment in their chosen field.

During the 2009-2010 CSBG program year, which runs from October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010,
Community Action’s Weatherization Assistance Program served a total of 329 households, providing them with
energy conservation measures such as insulation, windows and doors. During the 2010-2011 program year, they
served 286 households. (The decrease in numbers served is due to the loss of ARRA stimulus funding.)
Community Action’s Housing Rehabilitation Programs provided moderate home rehabilitation services to 34
households during the 2009-2010 program year and 26 households in the 2010-2011 program year. At present, the
waiting list for housing rehabilitation services (to bring homes to Federal Housing Quality Standards) is 4-5 years.

Note: In the Self Sufficiency Standards for Cattaraugus and Allegany Counties, HUD fair Market Rents are
used to determine cost of housing. The slight discrepancy between data in the self sufficiency standards
and that shown above is because the table above lists 2011 fair market rents, while the self sufficiency
standard uses 2010 data.

Cattaraugus County Housing: Energy Affordability
The following data is from the New York State Low Income Forum on Energy (LIFE), in a report entitled
“Home Energy Affordability in New York: The Affordability Gap (2008-2010)”
Affordability at the Lowest Income Levels
On a statewide basis, households with income at or below 50% of the Federal Poverty Level experience
energy burdens of more than 40% of income. The average burden in dollar terms is nearly $1,500 per year.
The number of households experiencing such burdens is not insubstantial. Statewide, nearly 450,000 lowincome households have income at or below 50% of the Federal Poverty Level.
Table 50 shows that while the burden drops quickly as incomes rise, the home energy burden as a
percentage of income remains above affordable levels statewide through income levels reaching well above
Poverty Level. Even households with income between 150% and 185% of Poverty Level, on average,
experience energy burdens of more than 6% statewide in New York.

The Cattaraugus-Chautauqua Allegany Region has a total energy burden of over $33 Million.
The Weatherization Program operated by Cattaraugus Community Action serves Cattaraugus and Allegany
Counties and the Seneca Nation of Indians. The waiting list at the end of 2011 is made up of over 400
households which equates to a 4-5 year wait for those who are eligible for services.
90% of all HEAP (Home Energy Assistance Program) applicants apply every year.
During the 2009-2010 HEAP season, Cattaraugus Community Action processed a total of 831 HEAP
applications; during the 2010-2011 HEAP season, the agency processed 523 applications. Community
Action is under contract to accept and process applications only from households who are not receiving
public assistance and who are not over the age of 60; therefore, these numbers represent only a fraction of
the households who applied for HEAP during the aforementioned seasons.

Cattaraugus County Homeless Prevention – Emergency Assistance
Cattaraugus Community Action relies on a combination of FEMA and private foundation funding to offer
homeless prevention services in the form of back rent/mortgage and utility payments. These funds are also
used to provide emergency shelter (via motel voucher) for households not able to access the local shelter or
LDSS.
In order to be eligible for financial assistance with back rent/mortgage or utilities, a household must have
exhausted EAF and EAS services at the LDSS. The following chart shows the numbers of assistance
requests and the number of households assisted from 2008-2011.

Supplemental Information - Community Needs Survey Data
Survey tool:
The survey contained two statements: “I think the three biggest needs of my neighbors, my friends, and/or
my family are…” and “I think the three biggest needs in my community are…” Respondents were asked to
select three issues from a provided list. The list contained issues previously identified as potential gaps in
services. An “Other” option was given, with a line on which to write concerns not reflected in the list
provided. Respondents were also asked to share the name of the community they reside in, and the length
of time they have lived in Cattaraugus County. Respondents were also asked if they or someone they knew
struggled to provide food for their household. Additional questions related to victimization in Cattaraugus
County were also asked. Respondents were not asked to sign the survey.
Survey Administration:
The survey tool was administered to community members from February 22, 2012 through March 31st.
Surveys were distributed to customers via staff at Community Action’s main office in Salamanca, and staff
traveling to various outreach sites. In addition, Board members and community agencies agreed to
distribute and collect the surveys on our behalf. Administration methods were not specified; each agency
administered surveys according to their normal operations (i.e.: sent home to program participants, handed
out by receptionist, sent via email, etc.) A total of 327 completed surveys were collected.
Data:
Of the 327 surveys received, 4 surveys were from out of county, but were included in the results with the
assumption that they worked in Cattaraugus County. Of the 327 surveys, 16 surveys either did not indicate
a community of residence or did so, but the response was illegible. These surveys were not thrown out. A
total of 36 Cattaraugus County communities are represented in the 307 remaining surveys, excluding those
from outside of Cattaraugus County. The majority of respondents lived in Olean (83), Salamanca (72) and
Allegany (22).
Despite the survey instructions stating that respondents were to select three issues per statement, several
surveys contained numerous responses per statement; some contained only one or two. No surveys were
discarded for this reason.
All data was entered into Survey monkey for analysis. Charts generated by the system are shown in the
following pages.
84
As shown above, the top three answers were:
1. Jobs, receiving a total of 183 votes (56.3%)
2. Food, receiving a total of 133 votes (40.9%)
3. Better paying jobs, receiving 113 votes (34.8%)
The same survey tool was used in 2008 as part of the agency’s needs assessment process. At that time a
total of 224 useable surveys were collected. The top three answers to the same question were:
1: Jobs, receiving a total of 111 votes. (14.8%)
2: Better paying jobs, receiving a total of 102 votes. (13.6%)
3: Transportation, receiving 67 votes. (8.9%)
1. Jobs (163 votes)
2. Food/nutrition education (96 votes)
3. Decent affordable housing (84 votes)
There were no write in responses to this question.
85
As shown above, the top three answers were:
4. Jobs, receiving a total of 275 votes (85.1%)
5. Decent, affordable housing, receiving a total of 123 votes (38.1%)
6. Transportation, receiving 110 votes (34.1%)
1: Jobs, receiving a total of 181 votes. (28.4%)
2: Decent affordable housing, receiving a total of 110 votes (17.2%)
3: Transportation, receiving 88 votes. (13.8%)
86
1. Jobs (211 votes)
2. Decent affordable housing (112 votes)
3. Increased recreational opportunities for youth/families (103 votes)
There were several write in responses to this question. As can be seen, many write in responses emphasis
choices offered in the actual question.

As shown above, 65% of respondents indicated that either they or someone they knew had difficulty
providing enough food for their household. This supports the fact that “food” was received the second
highest number of votes for the first survey question.
Survey notes:
The survey group’s views do not adequately represent those of all Cattaraugus County residents, as survey distribution
was not widespread; surveys were distributed via agencies that primarily, although not exclusively, serve the lowincome. Survey respondents also represent a small fraction of the total adult population of the County.
