11. COMMUNITY SERVICES UPDATE - MARY KEATING
The Community Resources Information System (C.R.I.S) website saw a 63% increase in usage from 2014 to 2017. Approximately 28,000 individuals visited the website in 2017. C.R.I.S. contains information for over 900 different social services available in DuPage County, and beginning in 2014, the website (www.dupagecris.org) was significantly updated in terms of content and user functionality. The Community Services department has also done a significant number of presentations to nonprofit and other organizations to promote public awareness of this resource.
2017 was the first full year that Community Services completed their quarterly client satisfaction surveys. Every person that the department deals with directly receives a satisfaction survey; last year 3,199 clients completed a survey, and of the respondents, nearly 96% indicated that overall they were satisfied with the services provided by the department.
Ms. Keating noted that the eligibility requirements for the SNAP program (food stamps) have changed in DuPage County. Able-bodied adults without dependents are now limited to three months of food stamps in a three-year period unless they are working, volunteering, or have an education deferment (for schooling or training). In an effort to connect SNAP recipients with volunteer opportunities that will help them meet the revised SNAP eligibility requirements, Giving DuPage is partnering with the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS), which administers SNAP in DuPage County, in public outreach presentations. Giving DuPage is also working with nonprofits in the community to be sure that they are aware of the SNAP eligibility requirements and that volunteer service can count toward eligibility for the program.
12. DUPAGE CARE CENTER UPDATE - JANELLE CHADWICK
The Care Center has begun to see some positive cases of influenza B. The medical staff is working very closely with containment to keep exposure to a minimum within the facility and the Medical Director is prophylactically treating patients with Tamiflu® as a preventative measure.
The Care Center has hired an Assistant Director of Nursing and will begin recruiting to fill the position of the Director of Nursing, who is retiring.
