Dear Friend of PACS,
It is with great pleasure that I present to you the Pennyrile Allied Community Services,
Inc. Annual Report for program year July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. I trust that you
will celebrate with us the accomplishments that we were able to achieve during the year.
Our enhancement to our communities can be realized with the contents of this Annual Report. A successful year such as last can only happen when a combination of support
comes together as it did with you and the rest of our community.
The growth in our programs, now at 28, has helped make the PACS the largest Community Action Agency provider of social services in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. With
our present funding we are now also the second largest funded agency.
Last June 2009 marked my 40th anniversary with PACS and its predecessor. For your
faith and support, I am most grateful.
On behalf of everyone involved with the Pennyrile Allied Community Services, Inc., I
would like to thank all of our Board of Directors with special acknowledgement for the
support of our long time Lyon County Board Member, Chairman Don Robertson. During
the past two years, Mr. Robertson has gone beyond his duties as Chairman with outstanding leadership in our communities.
Please join with me in recognizing our staff of Pennyrile Allied Community Services for a
great year of service.
Thank You,
John Tedder
Executive Director

Judy R. Peterson
PACS Assistant Director
Aging Program Director
The PACS aging department is made up of six major programs and each one is very dependent on the other for
a successful operation. The senior citizens centers are funded through The Older American Act, Title III,
Home Care, and USDA and with staffing supplemented by Title V-SCSEP. Transportation is funded through
the Ky. Transportation Cabinet and Title III. Adult Day Care centers are located in two of our senior centers,
Caldwell and Trigg counties. All programs met the goals for the 2008-2009 program year.

Home Care is State funded through the Department of Aging Services and the Pennyrile Area Development District. This program provides in-home services to seniors who have functional impairments that may
prevent them from completing the activities or instrumental activities of daily living. Home Care clients must
be assessed by a case manager to be determined eligible for this program. All services are free but donations
are accepted.

Aging Programs
ADULT DAY CARE
Adult Day Care/Alzheimer Respite services are offered in the Caldwell and Trigg County Senior Centers. These programs are for those caregivers who need a safe and structured environment for elderly during
the day. This is a very popular program and one that PACS would like to extend into all counties. We currently have 41 individuals enrolled in the two programs with 5 of those having Alzheimer Disease.
The Adult Day Care staff must attend required trainings and keep current all certifications. These centers are
growing in number and more services are requested of our staff.
TITLE V – SENIOR COMMUNITY EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM
The Title V- Senior Community Employment Program is a job training program and has 21 slots within six
counties of the Pennyrile: Caldwell- 5 slots, Crittenden – 2 slots, Hopkins – 6 slots, Livingston – 2 slots, Lyon
– 1 slot, and Trigg -5 slots. To be eligible for this program, an individual must be 55 years and older and meet
125% of the poverty guidelines. They work 20 hours per week at minimum wage or better. PACS pays their
enrollees $6.55 per hour. These seniors train in our senior citizens centers as cooks, drivers, dispatchers, and
center helpers or work in other non-profit agencies. We can only keep enrollees on Title V for two years and
during that time we must try and find unsubsidized employment for them. It is difficult to find employment
for 55-75 year old people who are happy doing what they are doing, - working in the center!! We do have
ARRA funds for the last three months in this program year and we placed 2 individuals in non-profit agencies
for training. PACS did receive an additional 8 slots for the 2009-2010 program year.
TRANSPORTATION
PACS Aging Transportation operates in conjunction with the Medicaid Transportation in many of our
counties. Each department assists the other. Elderly Transportation is very important and needed in all counties. Our seniors are very frail and have no one to help them with their transportation. We try to assist our
seniors in transporting them to the doctor, druggist, hair salons, barbershops, senior centers, grocery, hospital
or anywhere they need to go. We do ask for donations to help pay the expense of the gas, insurance, maintenance and drivers. Each center has handicapped vehicles and drivers to assist the seniors.
SHIP
The State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) is a program in each senior center and in the PACS central
office in Hopkinsville. The staff plus a volunteer, Ms. Edith Lewis, are trained counselors to help seniors with
problem or questions concerning their Medicare. We have been particularly busy since the Medicare Part D
became available to assist with prescription drugs.

Program Review
July 01, 2008 to June 30, 2009
The FCIP consists of the following services funded through both State and Federal grants providing services,
unless noted, to families in the combined 18 counties of the Pennyrile and Purchase Areas now called the
“Lakes” through offices in Hopkinsville, Mayfield and Princeton. Nineteen individuals provide the services
necessary to operate the programs mentioned and again this year we met the required number.
Intensive Family Preservation Services: The IFPS, our crisis intervention program, attempts to prevent the
unnecessary removal of children by providing intensive in-home services to families at risk of having their
children placed in out of home care due to abuse, neglect or children being beyond the control of their caregivers. In fiscal year 2008-2009, PACS served 56 families with 121 children identified as at-risk for potential removal. This service has a lifetime success rate of 87% in preventing the unnecessary placement of children
into out of home care.
Family Reunification Services: The FRS is a time limited service that assists the return of a child into the
home of their caregiver and establish a safe and nurturing environment for the families. In fiscal year 20082009 the FRS served 22 families with 41 children identified as at risk due to their return to the home. This service has a lifetime success rate of 88% in preventing the return of children into out of home care.
Family Preservation Services: PACS provides FPS through the Family And Children Together Safely
(FACTS) services to families. FACTS is a less intensive in-home service that works to prevent the negative
issues within a family from reaching a crisis stage which may then lead to the placement of the child into out
of home care. In fiscal year 2008-2009 the FPS served 33 families with 79 children identified as at risk. This
FPS has a lifetime success rate of 96% in preventing unnecessary removal of children.
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF): PACS received TANF funding for the 2008-2010 grant
period to serve 78 families. In 2008-2009 we provided Intensive Family Preservation Services (IFPS) to 38
families and 74 at-risk children, Time Limited Family Reunification Services (FRS) to 8 families and 13 atrisk children and Families and Children Together Safely (FACTS) to 35 families and 69 at-risk children.
Community Collaborations for Children (CCC)
Supervised Visitation & Intensive In-Home Services: (Pennyrile only)
PACS was granted funding to operate a Supervised Visitation (SV) Program and an Intensive In-Home Services (IHS) program in the nine counties of the Pennyrile area for a two year period ending June 30, 2010.
Thirteen (13) families with 31 children were served through the Supervised Visitation program and 18 families
with 39 children identified as at-risk were served through the Intensive In-Home program.

The scope of the Weatherization program continues to be one of assisting in the achievement of
a more helpful dwelling environment and maximum energy conservation for low-income clients.
PACS Weatherization staff and PACS general contractors must use the blower door while performing infiltration and thermal measures on a home. This ensures the client will receive the
measures that will be most advantageous to them. After the work is performed, one can be assured they have had the most positive and meaningful measures completed to their homes that
will ensure they are living in a safer and more energy efficient home. Preference is given to
elderly and/or handicapped clients who are determined to be in life or health-threatening situations, the homebound, and those most in need.
The first priority measure PACS performs on a house, mobile home, is checking the energy systems of the dwelling. This includes furnaces, space heaters, fireplaces water heater jackets,
duct wraps and duct repairs if needed, flue repairs, safety materials and safety repairs. At present date, of all homes completed during this contract cycle, 50% received heat systems measures. Training concerning all heat system inspection, repair, and/or replacement is provided by
the Energy Assistance Branch Training Center in Frankfort, Kentucky. A National Energy Audit is performed on each house and a Manufactured Energy Audit is performed on each mobile
home PACS serves. These audits show the areas the Weatherization program should address
while performing Weatherization services. As the second priority, the major infiltration work is
completed. This includes repairing and/or replacing missing doors, panels, panes; missing windows and/or windowpanes; repairs to supply and return ducts; and major envelope holes. The
general heat waste priority is then repaired, blocking is installed, attic bypasses are addressed
and sealed, roof repair, which is very limited by regulations, is completed. If necessary, the
walls of the dwelling are then repaired and insulated. Floors are repaired, ground cover is installed underneath the structure, pipe wrap, and insulation is completed.
The Weatherization program operates all twelve (12) months of each year. PACS utilizes general contractors to complete all heat system and Weatherization measures. The Weatherization
staff consists of 5 Pre/Post Inspectors, Weatherization Clerk, and the Weatherization Director.

Wintercare
The WinterCare Energy Fund, Inc. provides utility payment assistance on behalf of the low-income families
residing in the seven counties served by the Pennyrile area: Caldwell, Christian, Crittenden, Hopkins,
Livingston, Lyon, and Muhlenberg.
The WinterCare Energy Fund, Inc., a non-profit corporation, was established in July 1983 in order to implement an agreement negotiated between Kentucky Utilities Company, Inc. which provided that KU would
solicit contributions for the low-income energy assistance from its residential customers. KU customers are
provided the opportunity to contribute to WinterCare through the Company’s regular billings for electric service. Contributions received by KU are collected and submitted to WinterCare. Since KU’s service area
covers 78 counties throughout Central and Western Kentucky, Community Action agreed to provide the administrative support necessary so that WinterCare can provide assistance to low-income families residing
outside Community Action’s four county service area. Since the original agreement, a number of utilities
have signed agreements with WinterCare, expanding its coverage, including the Pennyrile Allied Community Services, Inc. The WinterCare Energy Fund, Inc. has an Independent Board of Directors, which establishes priorities and policies for its programs and monitors program results.
To be eligible for WinterCare services, applicants must meet a 150% Federal Poverty Guideline set by OMB
(Office of Management and Budget). This guideline serves as a guide to allow for the number of people in
the family and total family income.
PACS receives the total direct contributions sent in to WinterCare from our area during the months of November through May of each year. These funds come directly from the WinterCare Energy Fund in Lexington, Kentucky. As these are contribution only funds, the amount of funds differs each year. The maximum
payment cannot exceed $300.00 per household assistance period. The WinterCare program funds are considered a “last resort” for applicants. This program works closely with LIHEAP program to ensure services
are not duplicated.

Weatherization Program
ATMOS Gas C.A.R.E.S. Program
The Demand Side Management (DSM) partnership program with Atmos Gas Company is intended to provide current low-income Atmos Gas residential consumers assistance and advice concerning energy efficient improvements specific to their homes. The program is offered at no cost to the participant. This
program acts as a “piggyback” program in conjunction with PACS Weatherization program to ensure the
most energy saving measures are completed to conserve the greatest amount of energy. Caldwell, Christian, Crittenden, Hopkins, Livingston, Lyon, Muhlenberg, Todd, and Trigg counties are served by CARES.
In November 1996, Atmos Gas started the planning and implementation of the CARES program as a result of a rate case settlement. The program was to be a three-year program with a $450,000.00 limit per
year designated towards energy conservation measures to be used in all eight Community Action Agencies that provide Weatherization services in Atmos Gas service territory. Those eight Community Action
Agencies are: Audubon Area Community Services, Bluegrass Community Action Agency, Central Kentucky Community Action Services, Lake Cumberland Community Services, Multi-purpose Community
Action Services, Pennyrile Allied Community Services, Community Action of Southern Kentucky, and
West Kentucky Allied Community Services. Atmos Gas CARES is a low-income Weatherization program sponsored by a collaborative of Atmos Gas Company; The Kentucky Association for Community
Action, the Office of Attorney general and eight Community Action Agencies listed above, including
PACS. The goal of this program is to reduce the energy usage of Atmos Gas residential customers. After
the success of the first three-year cooperative effort, the funding for the Atmos Gas CARES program
looks very promising for future contracts.
In order for one to receive the CARES benefits, one must be eligible for PACS Weatherization program.
The program guidelines are based on the 150% OMB Poverty Guideline. These guidelines are based on
number of people in household and allowable yearly income.
During any fiscal year, January 1 through December 31, PACS may spend up to $1500.00 per home and
complete as many homes as possible as long as the statewide $450,000.00 is not overspent. Atmos Gas
Company provides monthly reports to each agency tracking the spending and completion levels. Funding
for the CARES program is provided from Atmos Gas Company.

Nutritional Outreach & Wholeness Program
Meme Perdue
NOW Director
The Nutritional Outreach and Wholeness Program (NOW) is designed to teach the low-income consumer to improve their daily dietary practices and to effectively manage their resources through nutrition education programs.
The PACS NOW program provides nutrition education to Food Benefits participants through various programs.
These programs focus on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and are the foundation of nutrition education in all
FNS nutrition assistance programs. The latest Dietary Guidelines are also associated with the Food Guidance System and MyPyramid. The goal is that families would strive toward self-sufficiency by learning skills and attitudes
that will lead to important behavior change and will contribute to their own personal development and maintain
nutritionally sound diets while decreasing the incidence of hunger.
The NOW Program offers nutrition education through Community partners around the state. Our partners include
Department of Aging, Department of Public Housing, Department of Agriculture, Department of Education, Department of Public Health, and Department of Health and Human Services among many other across the Commonwealth. We currently have collaborative partnerships with approximately 2798 agencies, organizations, and
schools across the state.
The PACS NOW program provides evaluation results for the activities conducted to assure that the Food Benefits
population is achieving the designed outcomes of its mission. The following evaluations represent a “snapshot” of
the effectiveness of some of our programs.

Roy Brunner
Information Technology Director
The 2008-2009 fiscal year has brought many changes to PACS IT. The addition of eight production sized
copy machines around the state has allowed for more efficient communication between the main and satellite offices through high-speed faxing and scan to e-mail technologies. As postage costs continue to rise,
we are constantly looking to optimize our resources to offset these costs.
As always, training is an important and on-going function of IT. Keeping the PACS staff up to date with
the latest versions of software and their capabilities is a primary function of this department. Currently, an
emphasis is being placed on e-mail uniformity across the agency. Excluding third party software programs, PACS uses the Office 2007 suite of programs to perform all data functions.
In the past year, thanks to Hopkinsville Electric Internet Services, we were able to quadruple our bandwidth at no extra cost. This has provided the ability for several programs to work over the internet more
efficiently. In addition to increase speed, security has also been increased. By upgrading the Hopkinsville
firewall, internet security against spyware and viruses is maximized.
The future of Information Technology guarantees more changes to the way we process information. It is
our goal to stay abreast of these changes to ensure that PACS remains in a position to take advantage.

Pennyrile Allied Community Services, Inc. (PACS) is a private, non-profit agency chartered July 1, 1974
upon the submission of Articles of Incorporation to the Office of the Kentucky Secretary of State. Pennyrile
Allied Community Services is a community action agency created under the Economic Opportunity Act of
1964 (Public Law 88-452) and authorized under the Kentucky Revised Statutes (K.R.S.) 273.410 et sequens,
as revised under amendments by the 1982 General Assembly entitled “Community Action Agencies”. The
1980 General Assembly amended Chapter 65 of the K.R.S. and specifically defined the agency as a “special
district” of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Thus, PACS, as the term special district implies is a unique,
limited purpose unit of government created for and involved with its specific aspect of public service. As a
special district, PACS is fully accountable to the local Fiscal Courts and the general public to whom it must
make an annual report of its budget, services, service area, executive officers and members of its governing
Board of Directors.
The Pennyrile Allied Community Services, Inc. does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, nationality
origin, sex, age, religion or disability, and provides upon request, reasonable accommodation including auxiliary aids and services necessary or afford an individual with a disability an equal opportunity to participate
in all services, programs and activities.
The preparation of this document was financed with federal, state and local funds.
