According to the Indiana Community Action Association, the money secured through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has helped Community Action Agencies throughout Indiana touch the lives of more than 450,000 Hoosiers in all 92 counties. NWICA Weatherization contractor blows insulation into a home NWICA’s Weatherization Team made 679 homes more energy efficient through normal program activities and additional ARRA Weatherization Program funding. A lot of heat can be lost through un-insulated or poorly insulated homes. Research indicates that every $1 spent on Weatherization returns $1.34 in lifetime savings! Also, the savings are long- lived which means the savings last year after year. Our ARRA Summer Youth Employment Program connected youth seeking summer employment with business and agencies seeking summertime help. Summer Youth Employment participants worked and at- tended employment skills workshops The Summer Youth Employment Program not only created jobs it helped over 580 Northwest Indiana youth develop job skills, build their résumés, and become more financially literate through mandatory workshops. The Emergency Assistance Program was expanded with ARRA Funding in 2010 to over 990 households to avert eviction, make payments on disconnected utilities or aid in other emergencies.

Whether or not you were able to attend the GRIP the Future launch event on Oct. 27, 2010 or complete the public survey, we hope you stay involved in this important initiative. We are still teeming with energy from the great turnout, substantive discussion, and amazing speakers at GRIP the Future. The day-long event at Gary’s Genesis Center, attended by nearly 200 people, marked meaningful progress toward stabilizing and reinvesting in Northwest Indiana’s urban core. More than 800 residents and stakeholders provided their input by taking the GRIP survey – at the event, online and via mail – to help the region begin to prioritize investments. We also are excited to report that strong momentum has carried several key initiatives forward: • CSX Corporation agreed to move the Canadian National rail tracks, a key step to allow for the expansion of the Gary/ Chicago International Airport. Other critical elements of the Airport’s Business Plan are advancing as scheduled. • MPC hosted Xavier de Souza Briggs, associate director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, for a day of discussions that included the Northwest Indiana Regional Development Authority (RDA) and Legacy Foundation, who shared with Mr.
