1 December 2010 Community Report
2 Toll Free: Yearly Call Volume For many people, especially those who are unfamiliar with the health and human services process, half of the effort in resolving a problem is locating the appropriate resources for help. Central Michigan is there to assist individuals and families in finding help when they need it most. One call gives access to resources throughout the community.
3 Beyond the numbers: Advocacy at work Unfortunately, not all callers have needs that can be met by simple referrals. When a call specialist goes beyond the call and seeks out resources outside of the database, it s called advocacy. This section details a few calls from the past month that required advocacy on the part of the call specialist. Hillsdale: Louis had recently received notice from his utility company that he had been removed from the Winter Protection Plan (WPP) due to a late payment. The WPP lowers monthly payments for eligible clients and protects them from shut-off during the cold weather months. Clients who default on their WPP are often required to produce substantial payments immediately and Louis was in danger of shut-off even though he had proof that his payment had been made on time. Louis call specialist helped him apply for advocacy through the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC.) Later that week, Louis called to report that the MPSC had convinced the utility company to reinstate his WPP and remove him from shut-off status. Jackson: Susan had received a stove from St. Vincent DePaul 30 days before she called Unfortunately, the stove had stopped working and, because Jackson county has no official appliance resources besides St. Vincent DePaul, she was unable to locate resources for a replacement. Susan was upset because she had several family members coming for Christmas and could no longer cook a meal for them. Knowing that she had no recourse with official referrals, her call specialist helped Susan post a request for a stove on Freecycle, an listserv that matches people in need with others who have donations to meet that need. One week later, Susan received a contact from another Freecycle member who had a working stove to donate and she was able to obtain the appliance in time for her big holiday dinner. Lansing: On December 23, Samuel, a church pastor in Lansing, called to say that one of his members wanted to provide a home cooked Christmas meal for a local family in need. Knowing that time was short, Samuel made it clear that he did not expect to produce results. Taking his doubt as a challenge and knowing that over 400 requests for Christmas assistance in Lansing had gone unfulfilled, his call specialist spent the next thirty minutes going through the unmet needs for Christmas Baskets in that area. When callers are unable to obtain a referral for their requested service, records the need as unmet and, if the callers are willing, records their name and contact information in case new resources become available. Calling each person on the list and asking if they d found the help they were seeking, the call specialist quickly located a family that was still in need and helped them coordinate the dinner with Samuel.
4 Some may notice that the Unmet Need percentages for certain counties were elevated in December. Call Distribution by County Total Call Volume, December ,766 Specifically, Clinton, Eaton and Ingham counties saw an increase in the total number of unmet needs between November and December of 18%. Ingham county, responsible for most of this increase, went from 6% unmet in November to 22% in December. Ingham, 2227 Eaton, 416 Lenawee, 324 Hillsdale, 86 Jackson, 1847 The majority of these unmet needs were for requests related to holiday assistance. The Salvation Army, which was the primary agency in the capital area providing holiday adoption and Christmas basket assistance, ended its program the day before Thanksgiving. Therefore, any caller requesting such assistance after that date was unable to obtain it. Clinton, 290 Livingston, 229 Other County, strengthens the community by uniting those who need help with those who can give it. Also, in times of crisis, responds immediately by directing callers to vital services in their area. Because of the dependability of 2-1-1, people can find assistance whether their needs arise next week or next year.

8 Central Michigan recently adopted a new phone system. This system asks callers if they would be willing to participate in a survey regarding the quality of their experience. The system is fully automated and calls the client back approximately 2 minutes after their call has ended. In December, 294 callers participated in the survey. Of those participants, 79.25% received referrals for services. Other results are listed below.
