Leonor Fuhrer- NCFF Consultant 00:05:05 LeaAnn-NCFF Consultant: Is there a CN call tomorrow? 00:05:44 Julie Nash: Good morning! Julie Nash, Hall County Community Collaborative. 00:05:53 Tonya Beckenhauer: Good morning- Tonya Beckenhauer-Consultant NCFF. 00:05:55 Nichole Hetz: Good morning! Nichole Hetz from Dawson County 00:05:56 Vanessa Sherman: Vanessa Sherman, Central Navigator, Otoe County (Better Together Collaborative) 00:06:13 Sara Riffel (NCFF): Sara Riffel - Nebraska Children & Families Foundation 00:07:19 Faith Mills: Faith Mills, Panhandle Partnership 00:07:30 Heartland United Way: Valerie Roth, H3C 00:08:11 wanda fedorchik: Wanda Fedorchik, Buffalo County Community Collaborative (Navigator) 00:10:10 Sandy Nation: It's a beautiful day! Sandy Nation, Dakota County 00:11:15 Jodi Graves: Good morning - Chandra Essex, Central Navigator 00:18:06 TBichlmeier: Morning! This is Tammy with CFP in Platte-Colfax County. Just wondering within your work with landlords if there is advocacy for regulations in providing safe and well-maintained rental housing? You are doing great work - thank you! 00:30:36 York County Health Coalition: Jason, can you clearify...of the $20 million CARES Act funds for Collaboratives is set aside for housing needs? Are utilities included in "housing"? And to access these funds communities will need to have a current housing study? 00:32:20 Heartland United Way: Will we be able to see a breakdown of the $20 million? I try to keep notes, but they are pretty scrambled. 00:34:36 LeaAnn-NCFF Consultant: I would think if the Collaborative has engaged the housing folks in their communities that would be a good start. The Collab doesn't necessarily have to be the housing expert, but they have to know how to connect and align the key players in the housing lane.... including hearing the voice of those experiencing housing challenges. Possible updates via this call or CN call periodically. Suggestions only. 00:36:33 Denise Zwiener: Jenny was reaching non-English speakers across our communities also a category?? 00:37:09 Mary Pinker: Denise, in the proposal it was an outreach sub-category through CR line items 00:44:49 York County Health Coalition: In York our Economic Development started using the term "Workforce Housing" rather than low-income/affordable housing, to introduce the need to the community, if that is helpful for anyone. 00:46:51 Denise Zwiener: We agree with Erin in York, we use Workforce Housing as it was a term that brought people together 00:46:53 Jason Feldhaus: Thank you LeaAnn, this is much appreciated. I love the idea of community level expansion of housing conversations. We have several of us (Nate Smith, Zach Nelson, and Myself) now available to support these conversations. Some are already having these conversations and those that are interested we would love to be the capacity to help support these efforts. 00:48:39 Jason Feldhaus: My email = jfeldhaus@nebraskachildren.org 00:54:25 Denise Zwiener: We have asked NDED to consider funding to remove old and dilapidated housing stock through villages and cities to open up cheaper lots so we could get smaller more affordable housing. NDED has not prioritized this as a funded strategy. Our community has a lot of synergy around this area for years. Would love to see if other communities have this same type of advocating?? 01:07:58 Denise Zwiener: We could list your email in our media email list when we send out press releases, if you would be interested?? 01:16:51 Cathy Minnick: I would be interested in this! 01:17:53 JoAnn Gieselman Growing Comm Connections: Growing Community Connections would be interested in this as well. 01:24:15 Denise Zwiener: Respite is out of Loup City for Buffalo County, last we connected with them. Know that if you are on Medicaid you do not qualify for Respite Care. 01:25:38 Denise Zwiener: Our Area Agency on Aging has a list of respite providers that will provide to anyone who asks as well as they have a case manager who can help families connect to a respite person. 01:27:30 LeaAnn-NCFF Consultant: Possibly a good connection and purpose for Ministry Network if possible. Great info Caroline! 01:28:29 Sandy Nation: We had a family who needed respite care for a single parent with a child with autism. went through the Nebraska Resource and Referral System (nrrs.ne.gov) and an aide who worked with the child at school was able to get approved to provide respite care. That probably wouldn't work in a Covid situation. 01:28:50 LeaAnn-NCFF Consultant: In Lincoln the Berean Church funds it totally. 01:28:51 Vanessa Sherman: I believe CEDARS out of Lancaster County provides respite options as well. I can look further into that. 01:30:10 JoAnn Gieselman Growing Comm Connections: One of our partners in Orange City, Bethany also does this. 01:30:49 Sandy Nation: We also have Bethany Christian Services (Bethany.org) that has volunteers who will take children and provide respite care. This is also faith-based and I don't know if they take any family or if there are qualifications for participation. 01:33:42 Pamela's iPhone: I am not aware of anything like this in the Cozad area. 01:33:47 Denise Zwiener: Not certain we have any options for this in Buffalo County, but would need to explore options with Compass in Kearney who connects with faith communities through the Care Portal. As this maybe an option for us if needed. 01:34:30 Heartland United Way: No options known in Grand Island. It sounds like a good concept! 01:35:02 Tonya Beckenhauer: Cedars Youth Services in Lincoln may be able to offer temporary voluntary respite/placement and possibly support youth/families, possibly can support counties outside of Lancaster. A case rate may be established with parent. 01:36:03 Cathy Minnick: I’m not aware of anything like that in the Sandhills counties. 01:37:25 LeaAnn-NCFF Consultant: Is there a call tomorrow? 01:37:32 Julie Nash - H3C: I would rather wait for two weeks then to do it on the larger call tomorrow. 01:37:38 Steph Gardeman (FFC): I'm ok if we discuss it next week. 01:37:44 Nichole Hetz: I agree with Julie 01:37:50 Sandy Nation: Two weeks. 01:37:50 Steph Gardeman (FFC): in two weeks, my apologies. 01:37:55 JoAnn Gieselman Growing Comm Connections: yes, wait two weeks 01:37:58 Sarah Papa: I agree with everyone! 01:38:01 Collena Laschanzky: Waiting 2 weeks is fine with me too. 01:38:03 Caroline Sabin: 2 weeks is fine with me! 01:38:06 Cathy Minnick: Two weeks is good. 01:38:08 Pamela's iPhone: yes two weeks 01:39:27 Julie Nash - H3C: Thank you! Enjoy the rest of your week! 01:41:11 Angela Harroun: Thank you Mary! Take care. 01:41:28 Sandy Nation: Thank you! Stay Safe! Stay Healthy!
