Describe the extent of the need, including current local data with source information and the major factors in the community contributing to the need. The Arc of Southeast Iowa is a non-profit agency offering multiple programs and services in Johnson and surrounding southeastern Iowa counties. As the area’s first disability services organization, The Arc has been instrumental in advocating for inclusion and community-based life for people with intellectual, developmental, and other related disabilities. The Arc has developed programming that supports individuals to remain living, learning, recreating, and working in the settings of their choice. Our services foster education, employment, connection with community, independence, and wellbeing for the individuals and families served. We offer inclusive daycare, afterschool programming, summer camp, group respite, individual respite, supported community living, supported employment, and day habilitation programming in addition to remaining a source for resource referral. We strive to reduce barriers and promote access and acceptance. United Way JWC Impact Areas Please select the United Way JWC Impact Areas that your agency's services support.

United Way JWC Funding Narrative: Tell us about your services to Johnson and/or Washington County and how United Way priorities are represented in your operation. If your agency serves a larger regional area, please provide the percent of overall clients that are Johnson or Washington County residents. If your request is program specific, please provide the percentage of Johnson and Washington County clients for that program. 10/16/2024 9:23 AM CST © 2024 e-CImpact page 4 of 28 The Arc of Southeast Iowa provides essential services to individuals with disabilities and their families in Johnson and Washington Counties, with 86% of clients from Johnson County and 6% from Washington County. Our programs align with United Way’s priorities and create pathways for long-term community impact. We offer a continuum of services that support individuals from early childhood through adulthood, ensuring developmentally appropriate care at every stage. Our inclusive daycare fosters early learning and social development alongside peers of all abilities, while our after-school programs, summer camps, and social groups provide continued learning, socialization, and life skill development. These programs enrich lives and offer inclusive environments where everyone can thrive. By supporting youth from toddlers to teens preparing for independence, we help families access resources to meet key developmental milestones, aligning with United Way’s Youth Opportunities priority by fostering inclusion, growth, and opportunity for children of all abilities. We help families navigate financial challenges by assisting with Medicaid and other support programs while keeping our services affordable. This helps alleviate financial strain and ensures essential care remains accessible. By doing so, we contribute to the Financial Security of families, allowing them to focus on employment and financial obligations without sacrificing care quality. We accept multiple payment options, including Medicaid, Child Care Assistance, Promise Jobs, Children at Home, MHDS Region funding, and scholarships. United Way funding helps offset the higher costs of providing high staff-to-child ratios for inclusive care, ensuring affordability even for families who don’t qualify for assistance. Childcare is critical for working families, especially those raising children with disabilities. By providing affordable, accessible childcare, we enable parents to maintain stable employment and income, directly supporting Financial Security by removing barriers to workforce participation. Our employment services also help individuals with disabilities secure and maintain competitive, community-based jobs, promoting financial independence and contributing to the local economy. Supporting both families and individuals, we further United Way’s goal of financial security for the entire community. We focus on the health and well-being of individuals and their families through respite care, group activities, and goal-based services. These supports promote Healthy Communities by reducing stress, enhancing emotional health, and providing consistent, quality care. As the oldest disabilities service organization in the area, The Arc has a legacy of advocacy that has played a key role in the development of other disability service providers in the community. This leadership and dedication continue to shape services that benefit individuals and families today. Our longstanding partnership with United Way strengthens our ability to drive systemic change and fill service gaps in the community. In response to workforce shortages and economic challenges, The Arc has adapted to maintain high standards of care. Expanding group service models allows us to continue serving individuals with disabilities while managing limited resources. This adaptability strengthens Community Resiliency, ensuring vulnerable populations remain supported, even during times of crisis. United Way funding is crucial in helping us manage the added costs of group-based care, including vehicle and facility expenses. 10/16/2024 9:23 AM CST © 2024 e-CImpact page 5 of 28 2. Johnson County Funding Narrative: Johnson County prioritizes funding for organizations addressing basic needs, improving child and family wellbeing and/or health outcomes for Johnson County residents. Tell us about your services that address any or all of the County priority areas. If your agency serves a larger regional area, please provide the percent of overall clients that are Johnson County residents. The Arc of Southeast Iowa provides a vital Summer Camp Program for children and adolescents with disabilities. Our camp offers a safe, enriching environment that fosters socialization, independence, and skill development. As one of the few programs in the region designed specifically for children with disabilities, it serves as an essential resource for families. Ninety percent of our summer campers are Johnson County residents. The actual cost of providing this specialized care is $550 per child, per week, but to keep the program affordable, we charge families $350 per week. This leaves a $200 gap per child, which we must cover through external funding. Over half of our enrolled participants are now privately paying families who don’t qualify for public assistance, increasing the financial strain on the program. These families rely on us for high-quality care, making community support more essential than ever. Our request is not for Medicaid subsidization but to bridge funding gap of non-Medicaid childcare services and offer financial assistance to families who pay out of pocket. Our request will sustain eight full-time summer care slots that require a high staff-to-camper ratio to meet the unique needs of children with disabilities. We have seen a significant increase in behavior concerns that requires added staff training, time, and attention. It is imperative for the safety and success of our programs to maintain these high care ratios. While we continue to help eligible families apply for programs like Medicaid Waivers, Children at Home, and Child Care Assistance, many fall outside these options. We are asking Johnson County for support to keep our services accessible. If preferred, funds could be reserved for families under specific financial circumstances to ensure assistance reaches those of most significant need. Our goal is to make the care accessible to as many in need as can be responsibly served, so we are flexible the parameters of the funding. Covering the cost gap of private pay clients is the simplest way to help us maintain program affordability. With the increasing number of private-pay families, support is more crucial than ever to maintain this service. By funding this program, you will directly impact the lives of children with disabilities and their families, ensuring that financial barriers are reduced or removed. 3. City of Iowa City Funding Narrative: Tell us about your services to Iowa City and how the City Steps Priorities are represented in your operation. If the agency serves a regional area, please provide % of overall clients that are Iowa City residents, if your request is program specific, please provide % of Iowa City clients for that program. 10/16/2024 9:23 AM CST © 2024 e-CImpact page 6 of 28 The Arc of Southeast Iowa is committed to providing accessible, inclusive childcare and youth programming that align with the City of Iowa City's priorities of Childcare, Youth Activities and Programming, and Services to Persons with Disabilities. As the oldest disabilities service organization in Johnson County, with roots in Iowa City, The Arc has a long history of advocating for and supporting children, adults, and families impacted by disabilities. From its beginnings in the living rooms of Iowa City residents, The Arc has been a leader in addressing gaps in community services. As the only provider in Iowa City offering specialized care for children with disabilities, we fill a critical gap in the community. We ensure that children with and without disabilities receive high-quality care while supporting families with affordable services, especially through Child Care Assistance (CCA). In FY24, 56% of all clients, including children and caregivers, were Iowa City residents. The Arc’s location in the Towncrest Neighborhood makes us accessible to local families. In our daycare and afterschool programs, 75% of enrollees are Iowa City residents, highlighting the direct impact on the city’s population. Our inclusive daycare serves children from infancy through preschool, providing the nurturing environment and developmental support they need to thrive. We maintain higher staff-to-child ratios to ensure children with intensive needs are supported—resources that traditional fee-for-service models don’t fully cover. In FY24, we served 63 children from 51 families in daycare, with 18 enrolled through CCA and 9 diagnosed with developmental disabilities. We also provide screenings and referrals to ensure early intervention. Our afterschool and summer camp programs extend this inclusive care to school-aged children, providing safe, structured environments that foster social, emotional, and developmental growth. While our summer camps draw participants from a broader geographic area due to the specialized care we offer, 63% of the students served at our Kids Camp, held at our Bill Reagan Children’s Center this summer, were Iowa City residents, further demonstrating that Iowa City residents continue to be the majority of those served, particularly through our center-based programming. City of Iowa City funding is crucial to sustaining these programs. We are committed to maintaining our inclusive model while keeping services affordable for low- to moderate-income families. By reserving up to 25% of enrollment slots for CCA participants, we ensure families with financial barriers can still access the high-quality, specialized care their children need. City funding allows us to hire the additional staff required to support children with disabilities while keeping services accessible for local families. Our programs align with the City’s priorities by offering quality childcare, youth activities, and services that are inclusive and accessible to all children, regardless of ability or family income. By supporting The Arc’s childcare and youth programming, the City of Iowa City is investing in its families’ future. We respectfully request continued funding for FY26 and FY27 to sustain these essential services, ensuring that every child has access to quality care and that families are supported as they pursue stability and success. 4. City of Coralville Funding Narrative: How do your services specifically address needs in Coralville? If your agency serves a regional area, please provide the percentage of overall clients that are Coralville residents. If your request is program specific, please provide the percentage of Coralville clients for that program. 10/16/2024 9:23 AM CST © 2024 e-CImpact page 7 of 28 The Arc of Southeast Iowa is requesting continued support from the City of Coralville to help sustain the operations of our programs, ensuring they remain accessible to Coralville residents. While we provide a range of services for individuals with disabilities, including group programs such as afterschool care, summer camps, and our Day Habilitation program for adults, these group programs play a particularly critical role in meeting the needs of our community. Nearly 11% of our overall client population are Coralville residents, reflecting the importance of keeping our services available to local families. Group programs, like Day Habilitation and Group Respite, incur higher operational costs, such as expenses for facility use, activity supplies, transportation for trips, and overall program logistics. However, they also present a more efficient use of our limited staffing resources, allowing us to provide quality care and service options to a broad range of individuals with varying needs. By offering group settings, we can maximize staff capacity while ensuring that participants receive the individualized support they require. Continued support from the City of Coralville will allow us to maintain the quality of these essential programs, helping to keep them affordable and accessible to Coralville residents. Your support will also ensure that we can continue to offer meaningful opportunities for participants to engage in their communities, learn new skills, and build independence, while giving caregivers much-needed respite. 5. North Liberty Funding Narrative: How will this program/project benefit the community of North Liberty? What percentage of the program/project benefits North Liberty residents, and approximately how many North Liberty residents will you be serving with this program/project? 10/16/2024 9:23 AM CST © 2024 e-CImpact page 8 of 28 The Arc of Southeast Iowa’s programming provides critical services to individuals with disabilities in North Liberty and the surrounding areas, offering structured activities, social engagement, and skill-building opportunities that are often unavailable elsewhere. As North Liberty continues to grow, so does the demand for inclusive, community-based services. Our group programming meets this demand by offering participants opportunities to engage in enriching activities, attend community trips, and access resources that foster personal growth and involvement. This programming creates a supportive environment where individuals with disabilities can develop life skills, build meaningful social connections, and participate in their community, all while being guided by trained staff. By ensuring that North Liberty residents with disabilities can access these unique services, we contribute to building a more inclusive and welcoming community where everyone has the chance to thrive. North Liberty has become a key part of our service area, and we have seen significant growth in the number of residents we serve, particularly since offering services at a location within the community. Currently, 11% of our overall clientele are North Liberty residents, with just over 26% of our summer camp enrollees being from North Liberty. In the coming year, we anticipate this trend to continue, as more families seek local, accessible services. Given the rapid expansion of the community, securing continued support will be essential to ensuring North Liberty families can access the services they need. While we have had the opportunity to use space at Grace Community Church in North Liberty for a small deposit, the church will no longer be able to accommodate our summer camp moving forward. As our program expands and the need for accessible services grows, we are seeking alternative accommodations that will allow us to continue offering high-quality services to North Liberty residents. North Liberty has been an incredibly welcoming community for our programs, and we are committed to maintaining and strengthening our relationships here. Our services are distinct in this area, and it is crucial that we continue meeting the unique needs of individuals with disabilities, ensuring they have access to group programs that enrich their lives and provide them with opportunities not readily available elsewhere. With the City’s continued support, we can ensure that these vital services remain accessible and sustainable for North Liberty residents. Grant Narratives - Additional Agency Information All agencies applying for funding from any of the listed entities must complete the following questions. If a question does not apply to your organization, please provide an explanation. 6. Provide a succinct, specific description of your primary target populations(s). Describe clients as a group in terms of their primary needs and strengths. What barriers to success do they face? If your agency serves a regional area, please provide % of overall clients that are Johnson County residents. 10/16/2024 9:23 AM CST © 2024 e-CImpact page 9 of 28 The Arc of Southeast Iowa's primary target population consists of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, along with their families. We also serve individuals with related diagnoses, including brain injuries, fragile health, physical limitations, and mental or behavioral health disorders. Our clients have a range of needs, including advocacy, access to community resources, and support services to help them and their families thrive. These supports enable individuals to live, work, and participate in the community settings of their choice. Our clients demonstrate incredible diversity, resilience, and strong activism, bringing unique perspectives to the communities they are part of. However, they face several challenges, such as physical and communication barriers, limited accessible housing and transportation, and difficulties securing equitable education and employment opportunities. Many families experience financial strain, particularly those reduced to a single income so that one caregiver can stay home, a challenge made more acute for single-parent households. The Arc addresses these barriers through inclusive, supportive programs that promote participation and independence. We serve a regional area across eight counties, but our primary service area is Johnson County, where 86% of our overall clients reside. 7. Please explain how your agency promotes racial equity and inclusivity for historically oppressed and marginalized populations (including BIPOC, LGBTQ, immigrants/refugees, individuals with disabilities) through your services, for your clients and for staff. The Arc of Southeast Iowa promotes a mission of inclusion and respect for people of all abilities, with a strong commitment to racial equity and inclusivity for historically oppressed and marginalized populations, including BIPOC, LGBTQ individuals, immigrants, refugees, and those with disabilities. Our core values— strength in diversity, the uniqueness of each individual and family, the importance of inclusive environments, the right to quality opportunities, dignity in treatment, and decision-making rights—guide all our programming and initiatives. Our daycare exemplifies our dedication to diversity by bringing together children with and without disabilities to learn with and from each other. This inclusive environment ensures that all children feel valued and supported, fostering a sense of belonging and community. To further promote equity and inclusivity, we engage in community partnerships. Our programs are designed to be accessible to families facing barriers to service, and we seek support from partners to provide resournces that reflect the cultural and linguistic diversity of the communities we serve. For example, seeking translators or translated materials, learning and teaching the use of communication devices, etc. For our staff, we are committed to creating a workplace that respects and reflects our community's diversity. We offer professional development focused on cultural competency, sensitivity training, and trauma- informed care. We maintain an open-door policy, encouraging staff to voice their thoughts and experiences, ensuring all voices contribute to shaping our organizational culture. Our ongoing advocacy work amplifies the voices of individuals with disabilities and their families, promoting their rights and access to essential services. We actively educate our community about disability rights and inclusivity, working to dismantle systemic barriers. Through these efforts, The Arc of Southeast Iowa continuously strives to create a more equitable and inclusive environment for both our clients and staff, reinforcing our commitment to dignity, respect, and empowerment for all individuals and families. 10/16/2024 9:23 AM CST © 2024 e-CImpact page 10 of 28 8. Please describe how your Agency is collaborating with other service providers in the community to reduce costs, increase efficiency or improve services for community members. How are you addressing duplication of services or how are you serving a unique unmet need? Collaboration and seeking partners in the community is integral to our mission of fostering communities of respect and inclusion while maximizing resources and minimizing duplication. We actively engage with a network of local service providers, sharing insights and strategies to enhance service delivery and address community needs. Our participation in the Agency Impact Coalition and Johnson County Providers Network have fostered collaboration, enabling us to share best practices, troubleshoot common challenges, and advocate for more effective community planning. Collaborations with local churches have further enriched our program delivery, as they have generously provided space and resources at reduced or no cost. One key partnership is with the United Way agency 4C’s, where we serve as a provider partner in their crisis care services program as well as receive valuable technical support for our daycare program. We have also worked closely with Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County (NCJC), exchanging referrals and discussing community needs, which allows us to better serve our clients. To promote civic engagement and skill-building among our clients, we connect with other United Way agencies, community food pantries and Table to Table, to provide opportunities for volunteer work. This collaboration not only helps our clients develop transferable skills for future employment but also strengthens their connection to the community. Through our partnerships with 4C's and NCJC, we collectively enhance our service offerings. Recognizing the high demand for services that address specialized needs, The Arc is committed to filling gaps in the community. Our inclusive daycare, afterschool program, and summer camps uniquely serve children with disabilities, often unmet by other local providers. Similarly, our Day Habilitation program offers a flexible model that allows participants to choose activities, catering to diverse interests and needs. Our employment services stand out as one of the few options in the area, and only accepting outside referrals, for individuals requiring full support in community settings. To avoid service duplication, we prioritize open communication with other disability providers and nonprofit organizations. This approach enables us to focus on areas where needs are not being met, leading to the development of unique programming that complements existing services. Looking ahead, we are actively expanding our partnerships with the Iowa City Community School District (ICCSD) to enhance transition planning for students and explore opportunities for mutual service expansion. Through these collaborations and community conversations, The Arc of Southeast Iowa is committed to enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of our services, ensuring that community members receive the support they need without unnecessary redundancy. 9. What costs are required of clients for services provided? Describe your fee structure and services available for those without ability to pay. 10/16/2024 9:23 AM CST © 2024 e-CImpact page 11 of 28 The Arc’s service rates are primarily aligned with Medicaid Waiver fees and tier structures. Qualifying participants can utilize Medicaid Waiver services. However, not all clients and not all services qualify for reimbursement through Waiver programs. For services such as childcare, we have established tuition rates that reflect our Waiver rates while remaining competitive with local childcare centers, afterschool programs, and camps. Our programs require additional staffing for children with special needs, yet we strive to keep costs accessible without significantly increasing fees. For example, while our hourly Waiver rate would set monthly tuition at approximately $3,300 for an elementary school student requiring 2-3 hours of after-school care, our market-competitive rate is $300/month. We accept Child Care Assistance (CCA) in our childcare programs, which helps further reduce costs for families. Families whose children have disabilities but do not qualify for Waiver or CCA can apply for additional discounts or scholarships. These are determined based on the federal poverty level and availability of community support funds. Fortunately, we have had minimal requests for further financial aid, as our rates are competitive, and we actively assist families in exploring other funding options. 10. Describe how local funding received by your organization helped leverage other revenue in the last fiscal year.

Indicator Narrative Question: Pervious Service Delivery Previous Service Delivery: Please provide a specific outcome/performance measure your organization achieved in the last grant cycle. How are people/conditions better because of the services you provided? Were there any unanticipated outcomes you’d like to share? 10/16/2024 9:23 AM CST © 2024 e-CImpact page 27 of 28 During the last grant cycle, The Arc of Southeast Iowa achieved key outcomes, particularly in our inclusive daycare and summer camp programs. One significant performance measure was the successful operation of our 8-week summer camp, which served 61 children. Of these, 32 were enrolled through scholarships or private pay, made possible by grant funding. This funding ensured that families without access to Medicaid Waiver services could afford high-quality, inclusive care. As a result, we provided enriching experiences for the children while also offering much-needed childcare and respite for caregivers. This outcome was critical for families who would have otherwise struggled to find or afford appropriate services. In our daycare program, we served 63 children from 51 families, including 18 children enrolled through the Child Care Assistance (CCA) program and 9 children with developmental disabilities. Our inclusive approach benefits all children, fostering social development and peer learning between children with and without disabilities. Using the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3 and ASQ-SE), we monitored developmental progress and made timely referrals as needed. The individualized support provided to children with behavioral or medical challenges allowed for full participation in classroom activities, promoting inclusion and better developmental outcomes. Additionally, we supported 65 adults through our employment services program and aided 11 individuals in securing competitive, community-based employment— highly positive outcomes for our relatively small program. This job placement initiative helped these 11 adults achieve financial independence and community integration, with The Arc’s workforce training and on-the-job supervision playing a key role. Our commitment to providing support, including full supervision during work shifts if necessary, uniquely positions us as one of the few agencies able to help individuals with significant support needs maintain employment. By year-end, our services had expanded across both child and adult programming. The number of children served in our daycare increased from to 63 over the span of the year, reflecting growing demand for our care. Similarly, our individual support services and group programs for school-aged children and teens served 93 students providing multiple sessions of service. Overall, 100% of client and family survey respondents reported that our services positively impacted their quality of life. Additionally, we provided financial support to families facing sudden hardships, such as job loss or medical emergencies, ensuring continued access to care during challenging times. These outcomes demonstrate that our programs are not only accessible but also impactful in fostering community inclusion, skill development, and long-term stability for the individuals and families we serve. 10/16/2024 9:23 AM CST © 2024 e-CImpact page 28 of 28
