Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Lake Traverse Reservation

P L 102477 Annual Narrative Report October 1 2014 through September 30 2015

PROGRAM GOALS

The 477 program targeting service to the current population during this report period was guided by the following overall goals

1 To improve the effectiveness ofemployment training and related services through integration

2 Serve tribally determined socio-economic goals consistent with the policy of self-determination

3 Promote individualfamily responsibility and self-sufficiency while preserving and strengthening the family structure by providing assistance to the needy Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate families so that the children may be cared for in their homes or in the homes ofcaretaker relatives Also try to end the dependence of the Sisseton-Wahpeton needy parents on governmental welfare benefits by promoting job preparation work and marriage

4 Promote self-sufficiency by identifying barriers to employment through an assessment process and by removing barriers to employment through case management

5 To reduce administrative cost by consolidating administrative functions of the different Federal Employment Training Programs

SOCIAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN FY-2015

Data from the 2010 Census gives a somewhat realistic view ofwhat the socioshyeconomic conditions on the Lake Traverse Reservation The US Census reports that there are 6184 Native Americans who reside on the Lake Traverse Reservation in 2010 compared to 3453 in 2000 which is a 47 percent increase Current tribal data from the SWO Planning Department indicates an unemployment rate of approximately 39 percent The program in FY-2015 did not have the funds to serve all the applicants who were looking for services but with some additional funding received in FY-2015 we were able to continue to assist tribal members FY 2015 was a good year for construction workers The 515 income based 11 new homes project through the Sisseton Wahpeton Housing Authority was completed

Department ofHealth and Human Services Child Care Development Fund Native Employment Works Temporary Assistance to Needy Families

In FY-2015 there was an increase and decrease in several areas in the number of participants served as compared to FY-2014 This increase had several contributing factors higher employee turnover with the tribes gaming industry and referral ofchild care assistance applications to the state

Basic Skills Education

The program had 58 participants who were working on their GED During the report period zero participants received their GED The attainment rate is concerning and we have ascertained the number to be low for the following reasons

bull GED went totally computerized on January 1 2014

bull The curriculum that is in the new GED was never taught to the older students

bull Many ofour students are over the age- of25 and the program is finding that the longer the students are out of school the longer it takes them to achieve the level of the GED

bull A number ofparticipants have limited time due to work and family responsibilities They may average one day a week to work on their GED They seem to get discouraged due to the overwhelming responsibilities and postpone their GED education

bull Also there have been a number ofparticipants who have started working on their GED but leave the program for seasonal employment

Further after consultation with other GED prep sites in the state and are yielding very similar results We are working on implementing the HiSET (High School Equivalency Test) at the local and state level

SUPPORTED WORK SERVICES

Alternative Work Activities

During FY-2015 thirty nine (39) welfare recipients were enrolled in this activity with eighteen (18) entering into unsubsidized employment The tribe views this as a significant achievement due to the fact that welfare recipients are among the most hard-to-serve clients Three (3) participants completed their work assignments

Adult Work Experience

During this report period thirteen (13) individuals were enrolled in Adult Work Experience Eleven (11) completed their training and entered into unsubsidized employment Adult Work Experience positions were in the following trades Computer data entry secretarial janitorial tutor maintenance worker and childcare worker

Youth Activities

Supportive Services

The program had another successful year in placing people into unsubsidized employment Much of the success can be attributed to one major construction project the new Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate Administrative Building Along with the additional funding received This major construction project provided many jobs for Native Americans

290 individuals were provided supportive services related to job acquisition job retention and training activities

Child Care Activities

The Child Care Assistance Program initially refers applicants to the State of South Dakota for Child Care Assistance which enables us to best serve our families whether it be through State assistance tribal assistance or a combination ofboth Since the program has a limited pool of funds it makes it challenging to serve all who apply for assistance Our program utilizes the local tribal day care center to have 4 (four) contracted slots to meet the needs of the TANF clients on a first come first serve basis

In the past year we worked with Rainbow Daycare Lori Shultz Little Steps and Westside After-School Program with all the art supplies We have reimbursed two providers with any costs that they endured to certify or re-certify to be in compliance with state and tribal guidelines These trainings are also stipulated under the Child Care grant that they are needed and to be provided two trainings a yeaI So far the only providers that have put in for reimbursement costs are Lori Shultz and Rainbow Daycare The Little-Steps Day Care Director obtained their CDA license We have also assisted the Early Headstart Staff to get their CDA license Eleven (11) of their staff went through CDA training They have one who received their CDA to date Our Child Care Program provided childrens books and activity books to Lori Shultz WASP Rainbow Daycare Little Steps Westside Pre-School and Nicole Allen We anticipate that the ALIVE program will be opening a daycare soon and will be providing care for children through our program

One of the objectives of the 4 77 program is to provide at least 2 TAT workshops for child care providers during the report period The following is a list of workshops that were presented to child care providers during the report period

During this reporting period the 477 program continued to fund the Enemy Swim Day School for a demonstration project entitled ESDS Community Education Pilot Project There are two (2) components to this project adult educational activities and an After-School program that enhances school day activities

After School Program

There were a total of approximately 115 children who attended daily after-school activities Although these children are not part of the submitted statistical data submitted with this annual report we are a key support in the program The AftershySchool Program is accredited by the COA - Council On Accreditation for After School Programs They are working on renewing their accreditation with COA this next year The After-School Program incorporates National After-School activity standards in its daily activities ie Active Physical Play Creative Arts and Dramatic Play Quiet Activities Computer Lab and a Homework Room supervised by the ESDS teachers The program also conducted special events during the school year These events benefitted parents and their children These events were as follows

Lights On Afterschool Veterans Day Program Skyforce Basketball Game ESDS Holiday Program Childrens Museum Trip Great Bear Ski Trip Career Day Watertown Rec Center MathScienceLiteracy Night Easter Egg Hunt Bread Making Class Carnival Summer Backyard Bash

CASH ASSISTANCE FOR BASIC NEEDS

During the report the program continued to successfully administer its TANF component There were 76 single parent welfare cases 111 child only cases and the total number ofchildren served was 305 In the past the number of child only cases increased and created a shortage in the TANF budget There have been adjustments made to the relative care taker child only cases payment amounts With that adjustment it has provided adequate funding for this year

Supportive services for TANF welfare recipients engaged in program activities were provided by other funds within the program

OTHER TRIBAL SERVICES

During this reporting period we held LIFE SKILLS Classes for T ANF participants It was designed to assist our clients in certain core skills to help them build a foundation for a healthy life The class offered them an organized structure to explore the various core skills that support positive behavior change Our staff wanted clients to interact with each of the staff on a different level besides their current employment role A variety of topics were covered time management planning managing stress financial management family timestrengthening families nutrition and meal planning along with a cooking class It was a day long program meeting every other day We will continue to offer it this year and have made it a requirement for T ANF clients 5 participants were enrolling in Basic Computer training with all five (5) completing training

OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Administrative costs were kept at 17

AREAS TO WORK ON FOR THE FUTURE

Implementing the HiSET has taken priority We continue to test our students for the GED but it appears the trend we are seeing is that the younger students straight out ofhigh school are having the greatest success The program needs to continue to

improve on the number ofparticipants who complete their vocational training Too many students are dropping out

There continues to be a large number ofyoung people who are dropping out ofhigh schools on our reservation We are collaborating with the Tribal Education Department to identify the needs and meet those needs with limited resources We are always looking for additional funding to address the shortfalls necessary to assist eligible participants A more comprehensive youth services program needs to be developed since we are dealing with a whole different era ofparticipants and we need to meet the demands ofour young students and working adults in order for them to be successful
