The mouse-overs turn the graphics from navy blue to bright green. However, the page also contains text descriptions of these menu items. Success Stories: "Home at Last" for Five Proud Missouri Families Outline of Need: Young families, single parents, good hard working people, all in need of decent, safe housing. Shelby County, Missouri, a rural area, offered little hope for new homes for these families. Unable to pursue conventional lending, yet credit-worthy, and willing to work hard for their homes, these families turned to the Rural Development Self-Help Housing program. How Rural Development Helped: The Rural Development Self-Help Housing Program provides low and very-low income people in rural areas the opportunity to build their own home. The North East Community Action Corporation (NECAC), partnering with Rural Development, assisted these families in building their own homes. NECAC provides the technical assistance and Rural Development provides the loan funds for the house and lot. The families and individuals work together as a team with family members and friends on weekends and evenings after work to build each other's homes. The work was done under the guidance of NECAC's construction supervisor, funded by a Technical Assistance Grant from Rural Development. The families performed approximately 65 percent of all the construction work. By working together for about eight months they complete the homes at the same time. The hard work becomes their down payment commonly called "sweat equity."

Irving ACHIEVING THE AMERICAN DREAM Dawkins USDA has declared June of 2002 National Homeownership Month. Homeownership has long been recognized as a key component of the "American Dream" and provides tremendous social and economic benefits to our society. Five families are working toward living that dream in Shelby County, Missouri. An event recognizing National Homeownership month was held in Shelbina on Tuesday, June 4, 2002. Gregory C. Branum, USDA Rural Development State Director for Missouri and Master of Ceremonies for the celebration, said, "I can't think of a better way to "kick off" Homeownership month than to recognize the success of these deserving families," Branum said. "They have worked very hard for many months on building their own home through the USDA Self-Help Housing Program." "I'm impressed with the dedication and commitment of the families to become homeowners," said Arthur A Garcia, Administrator of the USDA Rural Housing Service (RHS), shown here in the center of the photo, from Washington D.C. headquarters. "They demonstrate the success of working hard to achieve the American Dream." Also shown on the right, is Greg Branum, USDA Rural Development State Director for Missouri. The Self-Help Housing Program provides low and very-low income people in rural areas the opportunity to build their own home. A group of families and individuals work together under the guidance of a construction supervisor hired by a nonprofit housing organization grantee, like North East Community Action Corporation (NECAC). They perform 65 percent of all the construction work. By working together for about eight months they complete the homes at the same time. The hard work becomes their down payment commonly called "sweat equity."

N E W S RELEASE For Immediate Release: February 2, 2001 For more information contact: Jerry Nachtigal or Chris Kelly at Holden Proposes $7 Million Boost for Acclaimed Parents as Teachers Program "Through Parents as Teachers, people who might not know the first thing about parenting when their child is born become actively involved in making the kind of choices that will prepare that child to be ready to learn and socialize with other children when he or she reaches school age," Holden said. "I want to use this money so we can reach more families to give their children a healthy start in life," Holden said. "This additional funding will increase the number of at-risk families served and increase home visits for at-risk families." Bob and Lori Hauser Holden utilized the Parents as Teachers program with their sons, Robert III and John D. The Holdens said the program helped them decide when to send Robert to kindergarten and offered insight on the boy’s recurring ear problems. Holden has set a goal of increasing the number of Missouri families who participate in the Parents as Teachers program to 75 percent before he leaves office. Currently, 47 percent of eligible families take part.

YELLOW SHEET Office of the State Auditor of Missouri Claire McCaskill June 3, 2002 Report No. 2002-42 The following areas of concern were discovered as a result of an audit conducted by our office of the Department of Mental Health, St. Louis Regional Center. The St. Louis Regional Center (SLRC) is one of eleven regional centers established by the Department of Mental Health. The Department of Mental Health allocates portions of its department-wide appropriations to the St. Louis Regional Center to pay for the costs of services provided to Regional Center clients. The Regional Center purchases services for clients who live in personal residences and pays a portion of the costs for eligible clients who live in Community Placement facilities. Allocations are also used to fund specialized programs such as First Steps, Autism, and Choices for Families. There is a lack of control over the spending of allocations. Regional Center management indicated they compare the total allocations to the total costs of authorized services on a monthly basis. Since the Regional Center overspent program allocations by more than $2 million during the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, it does not appear that adequate steps were taken to control spending.
