Announcements  cont.  • Alice  and  Jen  Lewis  attended  the  Westerville  Hole  in  

One  Miniature  Golf  Tournament  last  weekend  Sept.  19th.  

 PROGRAM              Deborah  “Deb”  Tegtmeyer  Executive  Director  of         the  Licking  County  Coalition  for  Housing.     Deb  mentioned  how  much  the  Granville  area  is  involved  with  the  Licking  County  Coalition  of  Housing,  including  Roger  Lossing  and  Bill  Acklin.    Roger  is  treasurer  and  Bill  participates  in  the  VITA  program.    She  also  complimented  us  on  our  club  activities.     Licking  County  Coalition  for  Housing  was  formed  in  1992  and  obtained  its  501c3  classification  in  1993.    The  purpose  of  LCCH  is  to  provide  a  community  forum,  to  assess  housing  resources,  to  identify  problems,  and  to  create  solutions  through  collaboration.    The  LCCH  was  formed  locally  to  serve  this  area.  It  is  not  an  organization  created  by  the  State  or  Federal  governments.  Thus  any  funds  raised  locally  stay  in  the  Licking  County  area.     They  started  with  four  (4)  homes  and  now  they  have  forty-­‐  four  (44)  homes  in  which  they  can  assist  homeless  families.  The  homes  are  located  in  different  areas  of  Newark.    They  own  fourteen  (14)  of  these  homes  and  lease  four  (4)  others.    I  am  guessing  the  other  twenty-­‐six  (26)  homes  have  some  sort  of  agreement  with  the  LCCH  and  the  owners  of  the  homes.    If  there  was  an  explanation  I  didn’t  hear  it.    They  also  work  with  the  St.  Vincent’s  Haven  Shelter  for  homeless  men  and  the  Salvation  Army  for  homeless  families;  these  are  on  a  short  time  basis.     In  transitional  homes  the  families  receive  counseling  on  ways  to  get  a  job,  finances,  solve  addictions,  money  management,  etc.    The  families  can  stay  in  the  homes  for  two  years.    After  this  time  it  is  expected  they  will  be  living  on  their  own  without  LCCH  assistance.    The  problems  now  are  that  it  is  difficult  to  find  rental  homes.    A  lot  of  this  was  created  in  the  housing  market  crash  when  people  decided  they  wanted  to  rent  a  home  instead  of  owning  a  home,  either  they  could  not  afford  it  or  just  didn’t  want  to.    It  is  a  problem  to  get  families  into  a  home  because  there  are  not  enough  resources,  which  are  spread  too  thin.     They  provide  free  income  tax  preparation  for  families  in  need.    This  is  the  VITA  program  (volunteers  in  tax  assistance).  Last  year  with  25  volunteers,  families  were  able  to  get  a  million  dollars  in  refunds  through  direct  refunds  or  Earned  Income  Tax  Credits.    The  families  also  receive  training  in  better  management  of  their  funds  and  finances.    These  volunteers  can  put  in  four  (4)  hours  per  week  in  assisting  in  preparation  of  tax  forms.    All  volunteers  receive  training,  to  assure  they  are  qualified  to  assist  in  preparation  of  the  tax  forms.     They  have  received  a  grant  from  the  VA  to  assist  helping  homeless  veterans.    There  are  15,000  –  17,000  veterans  in  our  community;  the  VA  has  just  approved  the  renewal  of  this  grant.  They  work  with  the  Veterans  Service  Commission  located  in  Newark  at  935  Buckeye  Ave.    The  person  they  work  with  is  Michael  Holmes.    Take  note  Don,  Deb  suggested  Michael  would  make  a  good  speaker  for  one  of  our  club  meetings.    The  Veteran’s  Service  Commission  phone  number  is  (740)  670-­‐5430.    With  the  grants  they  are  able  to  provide  assistance  to  ninety  (90)  households.    The  Veterans  Service  Commission  receives  

referrals  from  Licking,  Knox,  and  Coshocton  Counties.    They  are  involved  with  singles  and  family  veterans.     They  are  also  working  with  Nancy  Neely,  the  retiring;  superintendent  of  the  Licking  County  Board  of  Developmental  Disabilities  to  provide  assistance  to  mentally  and  physically  impaired  people.    They  have  twelve  homes  two  (2)  in  Heath  and  ten  (10)  in  Newark.    Each  home  will  provide  living  facilities  for  four  (4)  people.    This  gives  people  an  opportunity  to  live  independently.           They  have  two  fundraisers  planned.    The  first  is  a  5k  Run  at  the  Rotary  Park  Pavilion  in  Newark  on  November  7,  2015.    The  second  is  a  golf  outing  next  year  June  18,  2016  at  the  Licking  Springs  Public  Golf  Course  (formally  the  Trout  Club)  on  Horns  Hill  Rd.  in  Newark.    This  is  happening  on  Saturday  Oct.  3rd
