CEDA Board of Directors appointed an ad-hoc task force in 2010 to develop an agency wide Transformation Plan. The Board task force’s charge was to address the fiscal and service delivery challenges facing the agency. At the October 18, 2011 CEDA Board of Directors meeting, the 2-year plan was adopted. The new CEDA service delivery model is for suburban Cook County only. Service delivery in the city of Chicago is unchanged.
During the summer of 2011, CEDA conducted a county-wide Community Needs Assessment to 3,265 residents. The new service delivery models are consistent with the 2011 Community Needs Assessment (CNA) results. A copy of the 2011 CEDA Community Needs Assessment is posted on the CEDA website: www.cedaorg.net.
CEDA’s long-term capacity will increase due to repurposing CEDA properties to maximize the overall number of clients served. The new plan will expand considerably CEDA’s service delivery countywide footprint as we add partner locations to our program specialists' worksites.
I am available to answer any questions and to further discuss how we can continue to work together to benefit struggling families throughout all of Cook County Illinois.
Sincerely,
Patricia Doherty-Wildner
Interim CEO
