Jefferson Franklin Community Action Corporation continues its path to self-sufficiency with its Grand Opening of Partners Realizing Opportunity (a For-Profit C-Corporation)

2/11/2020

 
Picture
In 2017, Jefferson Franklin Community Action Corporation (JFCAC) began an endeavor to increase self-sufficiency through diversification of funding.  It was identified that this could be done by focusing on increasing unrestricted agency dollars.  Three areas were identified for the agency to focus on that would drive the agency toward achieving this goal.  These three are as follows:  Fundraising, Social Enterprises, and Medicaid Fee for Service Billing Opportunities. 
​
With the assistance of JFCAC's devoted Board, much progress has been made over the last two years toward building strength in the above three areas.  The most recent accomplishment being the establishment of the Partners Realizing Opportunity (PRO) - the agency’s own for profit C-Corporation. 
 
The intent of PRO is to partner, when possible, with other entities in the community to develop needed social enterprises that can be profitable for the agency,  and can also serve as training grounds for those in our communities who are in need.  As JFCAC is the sole shareholder of PRO all proceeds not needed for the ongoing support of the social enterprises, through an official PRO Board approval process, will be allocated back to JFCAC to support additional programming and/or to assist existing programs when funding dollars are threatened. 
 
PRO’s Board which is comprised of four JFCAC Board Members and three individuals hand selected from the community was established in May 2019.  The Board had its first official meeting in May and subsequently has been meeting at least quarterly since then.  The focus has been and will continue to be identifying great partners and needed business opportunities in our communities. 
 
JFCAC is extremely excited about the establishment of PRO and is looking forward to its first LLC opening in 2020. For more information please feel free to contact Jill Quaid, JFCAC/PRO, CEO @ jquaid@partnersrealizingopportunity.com

HOUSING PROGRAM ANNOUNCES OPENING OF WAITING LIST - Housing Choice Voucher and Mainstream Voucher Program

2/10/2020

 

Jefferson Franklin Community Action Corporation (JFCAC) is giving notice that beginning March 3, 2020 applications for the Section 8 tenant-based Housing Choice Voucher Program and Mainstream Voucher program will be accepted in Franklin and Jefferson Counties.

The waiting list will be open to all households; however, certain preferences will be granted to applicants who either live or work in Jefferson or Franklin County at the time of their application. In addition to this preference, families who meet one of the following criteria will receive additional points on the waiting list. These include families who are transitioning out of institutional and other segregated settings (this does not include a correctional facility), at serious risk of institutionalization, homeless, at risk of becoming homeless, or previously experienced homelessness and are currently a client in a permanent supportive housing or rapid rehousing project as referred by the Missouri Balance of State or local Continuum of Care Coordinated Entry System.

JFCAC’s Housing Choice Voucher and Mainstream Program provide rental assistance to help low income families obtain affordable housing which is safe, decent, and sanitary. A household where the sole member is an emancipated minor is not an eligible household. To be eligible for a Mainstream voucher, there must be one disabled household member who is between the ages of 18 and 61.
