INTRODUCTIONS

Sara Capulli opened the meeting at 8:30AM.

The group read the Mission and Values of Deborah’s Place together.

Michelle Patterson and Audrey Thomas announced that the Davee Foundation will be providing a $2

million endowment to Deborah’s Place. Ruth Davee was a neighbor of a Deborah’s Place founder, Patty

Crowley. The Davees have been giving to Deborah’s Place since 1994.We don’t expect to receive the

funds until the end of the calendar year or later.

Wendy Mausolf explained that the current endowment is $830,000. The Finance & Audit Committee (FAC)

will form a smaller work group to explore additional policies for the endowment, and to review instructions

for the gift. The endowment will be called the Davee Foundation Endowment.

Audrey mentioned that the FAC includes members with expertise in investments.

CEO Report Kim Casey moved to approve the Consent Agenda. Pamela Boyd seconded. The Consent Agenda was approved unanimously.

TREASURER’S REPORT

Wendy Mausolf reported. She noted that the September financials and Audited Financial Statements were reviewed by the Finance & Audit Committee.

September Financials: Nothing of concern.

Approval of FY’17 Audited Financial Statements. Janel Saar moved to approve the FY’17 audited financial statements. Linda Jean Smith seconded. The FY’17 audited financial statements were approved unanimously.

Resolution to move FY’18 anonymous stock to the endowment Rose Wageman moved, and Cynthia Alcantara Limperis seconded, that:

o The Deborah’s Place Board of Directors approve the management recommendation to move $44,613.80 from the sale of unbudgeted and anonymous gifts of stock received in August and September 2017 to the Endowment, referred to as “The Fund”.

o The Deborah’s Place Board of Directors approves the management recommendation to record proceeds from the sale of any unbudgeted and anonymous gift of stock received in November and/or December 2017 to “The Fund”.

The motion carried unanimously.

DPIII subsidy conversion request: Sue Gries presented that Deborah’s Place is in the process of converting the Section 8 subsidies at Deborah’s Place III, the Rebecca Johnson Apartments, to a different type of subsidy, for program and financial reasons:

o Deborah’s Place III may need to provide “bridge funding” in the form of a Line of Credit to cover capital expenses in the first couple of years of the new CHA contract. First Eagle Bank has agreed to provide a line of credit if needed, which would be collateralized with funds held at the bank by Deborah’s Place. Further, Deborah’s Place may be required to supplement other capital funding sources with equity contributions to Deborah’s Place III over the course of the contract.

o There is no dollar commitment right now. The Board may be called upon for this in the future.

MISSION MOMENT

Tiffany Isom, Residential Manager of Teresa’s Interim Housing, presented on adapting to the new coordinated access system. Tiffany talked about how she discussed the changes to her team using principles of motivational interviewing.

o Expressing empathy. o Supporting and developing discrepancies. o Addressing resistance. o Supporting self-efficacy.

Steps include: o Address past evictions and get them sealed when possible. o Address criminal backgrounds. o Address credit issues. o Address unpaid utility bills. o Identify income level. o Use the Savings Incentive Program. o Budgeting. – being open and honest re: expenses.

FUNDRAISING CAPACITY BUILDING INITIATIVE

Jill Baldwin presented on how to “tell our stories” and create our elevator statements on Deborah’s Place.

STRATEGIC PLAN

Cynthia Alcantara Limperis presented on donor stewardship. Each board member received an

individualized packet of donors to contact by November 3rd. Board members should get their Holiday

Appeal contact lists to Michelle Patterson as soon as possible if they haven’t already. Donors who give

during the Holiday Appeal will also be called. Board members have the option of submitting personal notes

for their contacts. Michelle will send Board members a copy of the Holiday Appeal.

CALHOUN PROJECT & MARAH’S UPDATE

o Heartland Housing applied for City of Chicago tax credits for the Calhoun project and were not

selected. They are researching other financing opportunities.

o Marah’s transition planning is under way. The building in Rogers Park that was considered will not

Meeting adjourned at 12:07PM. Kathy Booton Wilson

Deborah’s Place CEO Report to the Board of Director December 11, 2017 PROGRAM The Health Services team is working with residents to ensure that they are enrolled in health care coverage before

the December 15 deadline. This is challenging because the enrollment period has been shortened.

PROJECT UPDATES Calhoun Project Audrey and Kathy joined the Heartland Housing team for meetings with 27th ward Alderman Walter Burnett on November 7, and the Department of Planning and Development on November 13. The purpose of the meetings was to discuss alternative financing options for the Calhoun Project. They had helpful advice and Heartland is pursuing application for tax credits from the Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) as one option.

Strategic Plan A review of the strategic plan including a dashboard for reporting will be presented at January Board meeting.

DPIII Subsidy Conversion There will be a final update on this process during the December 4 Board meeting.

Marah’s Transition The Transition Team on November 8 to review the project management plan. The planning is on track as we enter Phase II of the transition. In addition, at the recommendation of the Real Estate Advisory Committee, Audrey and Sue are meeting with the St. Alphonsus business manager and parish priest on December 11. We will inform them that Deborah’s Place will not be renewing the lease and to request a 2-month extension on the current lease if needed (November-December 2018). We want to have time to do a deep cleaning of the building once all staff and residents are relocated. The staff of Marah’s will begin telling the Marah’s residents about the move and all staff will have been informed by February 8, 2018. Our public announcement will come in the early spring.

Facilities Improvements Through the Sammon’s grant, facilities has purchased and replaced 75 mattresses at the Rebecca Johnson Apartments. We will also complete the replacement of 20-22 apartment doors (more fire resistant) and 90 stoves are being replaced at the beginning of the year. Thank you Sammon’s! FUNDRAISING The RDC and Michelle will report on the early response to the Holiday Appeal at the board meeting. This will include feedback from the thank you calls and follow up from the elevator pitch work done at the October meeting.

We are sad to say good-bye to our FCBI coach, Jill Baldwin. She is taking a job at a foundation, and will not continue as an FCBI coach. We are already assigned to a new coaching team. We will begin work with them in January.

Board Development Kelli Schrade will come to the December meeting for board approval. Her resume is included in the board materials. We have formed an ad-hoc Endowment Committee. Wendy Mausolf is Chair of the committee and members include Jay Raghavan, Joanna Rupp (FAC Member) and Kelli Schrade. Audrey hopes to have some additional information about the special gift at the meeting.

Thank you! Thank you for giving of your time, energy, skills to advance the mission of Deborah’s Place.

Deborah’s Place Affirmative Action Analysis Summary (from FY18-20 AA Bi-Annual Plan) As of July 2017, employment of minorities is embraced in all major departments and units, and their progress into high-level jobs continues. Deborah’s Place has committed itself to increasing minority representation in employment based on the population served by Deborah’s Place and the communities in which services are provided. An in-depth analysis of Deborah’s Place EEO groups reveals there is no underutilization of minorities in comparison to statistics from the 2010 Census Data for Chicago Metropolitan Area. The agency has continued to make progress in placing minorities in various organizational units and job groups. Further, the agency’s analysis has found that minorities are not restricted to any particular organizational unit or job. An analysis of the personnel practices and procedures of the agency has revealed the following: The composition of the workforce in terms of the overall numbers of minority groups continues

to reflect the agency’s strong commitment to equal employment opportunity. The agency’s intention is to establish appropriate goals in order to improve the representation

of minorities and women where disparities exist. The agency’s intention is to examine periodically the workforce composition and to establish

appropriate goals in order to improve the representation of minorities where obstacles may exist.

Percentage placement goals are established when the population of minorities in a group is less

than the determined availability.

Underutilized job groups are listed on the Placement Goal Report, if applicable. VIII GOALS, STRATEGIES AND ACTIONS

The Deborah's Place Affirmative Action Plan identifies goals and actions the agency will take to increase its minority workforce representation in relation to the City of Chicago, the communities in which Deborah’s Place sites are located and the population served by the agency. Goals are determined each year at the beginning of the new fiscal year by reviewing the current workforce and the past year’s activities and goal achievements as they relate to the plan.

The Board of Directors reviews and approves the Affirmative Action Plan bi-annually at a regular meeting of the Board. The goals are developed annually by the HR Manger and reviewed by the Executive Team and Diversity and Inclusion Committee and then approved by the Board. Goal 1: Deborah’s Place will increase number of minority employees advancing to management positions. Strategies:

1. Identify minority employees interested in internal/external leadership opportunities. Action: Surveys, supervision, and performance evaluations.

2. Identify internal/external resources and opportunities for minority employees to build and demonstrate management skills.

Action: Create a list of resources for participation in internal/external trainings and committee memberships.

Outcome: Increased number of minority employees that apply for management positions and are promoted to management positions. Goal 2: Deborah’s Place will increase efforts to recruit minority candidates, people with disabilities and covered veterans for open positions. Strategies:

1. Identify additional outlets (including learning institutions, social media, etc.) for posting open positions. Action: Networking, researching and surveying staff.

2. Ensure that language in recruitment, interviewing and orientation materials is welcoming to candidates of minority, people with disabilities and covered veterans. Action: Human Resources review all language and vets through Diversity and Inclusion Committee. Action: Use external professional resources to review the language in materials.

Outcome: Increase the number of applications from minorities, people with disabilities and covered veterans.

Goal 3: Increase knowledge and cultural awareness to advance diversity, inclusion and cultural competency. Strategies

1. Identify resources and educate staff to improve cultural competency throughout agency

Action: Include cultural competence material as an ongoing part of staff development

Action: Provide ongoing activities, trainings, leadership and resources for improving cultural competence to all staff in training opportunities through Admin Quarterly Meeting, All Staff meeting and individual staff meetings. Staff will assess through pre and post tests.

Outcome: In FY’18, 50% of staff will demonstrate improved cultural competency through improved knowledge about culture and diversity with staff and participants from different ethnicities. Action-Oriented Activities In an effort to achieve established affirmative action goals Deborah’s Place will continue to develop and implement action-oriented programs designed to enhance the utilization of minorities, including but not limited to the following example actions: 1. Monitor and change as necessary all position descriptions and work specifications to ensure that

they are accurate, and that the experience and other qualifications stated are unbiased. This will establish a consistent standard for selection among all candidates for employment or promotion.

2. Encourage minority Board members, volunteers and employees to refer friends to the agency for potential employment; post position openings at colleges, universities with significant minority populations, minority sorority groups and minority readerships.

3. Encourage employees to network with professional minority groups. 4. Monitor hiring and promotion activities and employee evaluation program to ensure equal

opportunities are given to minorities. 5. Continue to encourage minorities to participate in informal and formal job training programs. 6. Provide staff development opportunities to increase staff knowledge and ability to deal with

cultural differences. 7. Ensure diversity component in staff development mandatory for all staff. 8. Ensure that staff development opportunities and sessions take place in each building and are

more accessible to all staff. 9. Keep current staff apprised of development opportunities and discuss opportunities for

promotion into management positions. 10. Identify and publicize skills necessary for leadership development

11. Create leadership development of minority employees including, but not limited to:

recruitment, hiring, placement, promotion, transfer, layoff, and recall, leaves of absence, compensation, benefits, training, and termination.

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY (EEO)/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION POLICY STATEMENT

It is the policy of Deborah’s Place to provide equal employment opportunities to all qualified persons, without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, citizenship, pregnancy or maternity, national origin, status as an individual with disability, age, ancestry, protected veterans status, or any other legally protected status in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws.

Deborah’s Place expressly prohibits any form of unlawful employee harassment based on race, color, religion, age, sex, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, citizenship, pregnancy or maternity, national origin, status as an individual with disability, age, ancestry, protected veterans status, or any other legally protected status in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws.

This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including, but not limited to, hiring, placement, promotion, transfer, layoff, recall, leaves of absence, compensation, benefits, training, and termination in compliance with the Illinois Human Rights Act, federal civil rights laws, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Illinois and US Constitutions, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, and all other applicable local, state and federal laws.

The policy will be reaffirmed annually and signed by the CEO and President of the Board.

A. Discrimination, Harassment and/or Retaliation Complaints

Complaints, grievances, and appeals alleging discrimination or harassment based on race, color, religion, age, sex, ethnicity, mental or physical disabilities, marital status, sexual orientation, national origin, political affiliation, ancestry, veteran or any other protected status, or retaliation complaints relating to reports of the same, must be reported immediately. All reports will be considered and investigated in as confidential a manner as possible, while allowing the agency to meet its legal obligation. Any request not to investigate a reported violation of this policy cannot be honored; the agency is legally obligated to investigate.

Chief Officers, Directors, Managers and Supervisors must act promptly to eliminate any discrimination or harassment which exists in their areas of responsibilities. If a Chief Officer, Director, Manager, or Supervisor knows that discrimination, harassment or retaliation is occurring, or receives information that discrimination, harassment or retaliation might be occurring, they must consult with the HR Manager who will take immediate action to address the problem. Such action should include, but is not limited to, investigating, consulting with legal counsel, speaking directly with those involved, developing a specific account of the actions, omissions or occurrences that are alleged to be discriminatory, and corrective or disciplinary action.

No one who makes a discrimination/harassment/retaliation report in good faith shall be disciplined for doing so. Deborah’s Place, however, also recognizes that bad faith accusations of discrimination, harassment or retaliation can have serious effects on innocent people. Accusations that are found to be made in bad faith will result in appropriate disciplinary action toward the accuser, up to and including termination.

The HR Manager has the primary responsibility of implementing this Policy. In particular, the HR Manager will respond to inquiries and complaints from management and employees regarding discrimination, sexual harassment, other harassment, and retaliation; maintain records of these inquiries and complaints as well as their resolution, and keep the office advised of them. Together with the agency and other staff, the HR Manager will also provide information and education to the employees and management on recognizing, understanding, and combating unlawful discrimination, retaliation and harassment.

B. Procedures for reporting Discrimination, Harassment and/or Retaliation Complaints

Any individual who feels that they have been the subject of discrimination harassment or retaliation by supervisor(s), co-worker(s), and/or volunteer(s), or others should report the incident immediately to the HR Manager or to whomever in management the individual feels most comfortable communicating this complaint; if the complaint is against the HR Manager, make the report to the Chief Financial Officer; CEO or Board Executive Committee. Individuals who believe they have been discriminated against or harassed or retaliated against have the primary obligation of recounting specific actions or occurrences of the alleged conduct whenever possible.

The individual making the charge will generally be interviewed first and informed of the need to begin an investigation. During this interview, any limits on confidentiality will be explained and the individual making the claim will be expected to give an account of events, names of people involved or other witnesses to be interviewed, provide any documents and other information pertinent to investigation. Depending on the nature and severity of the allegations, the charging party may be transferred to another shift or location temporarily, if possible, to the extent such change does not materially alter the employee’s terms and conditions or employment, or to stay home from work, generally with pay, if the agency decides it in the party’s best interest for the individual to remain away from the workplace during the investigation.

Other individuals will be interviewed as necessary.

The alleged wrongdoer will generally be interviewed. Depending on the nature of the claim, the alleged wrongdoer may be sent home or suspended with or without pay, or transferred to another location or shift, if possible, during the investigation. The alleged wrongdoer may not confront the person who made the report.

Individuals involved in an investigation are expected to refrain from discussing it with their co-workers. It is a rare instance that a witness needs to discuss this matter with anyone other than the HR Manager or whomever is conducting the investigation. Any individual who violates this policy will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination. Individuals involved in the investigation will be provided a copy of this policy at the time of interview.

If it is found, after the investigation, that the complaint is valid, appropriate action will be taken against the perpetrator, up to and including immediate termination and any suspension may be deemed an unpaid suspension.

C. Affirmative Action Plan

Deborah’s Place is committed to hiring qualified staff who enhance the quality of the programs offered to women who are homeless and formerly homeless.

Deborah’s Place is also committed to diversifying its staff so as to reflect the rich cultural diversity of the participants of Deborah’s Place and of the people of the City of Chicago. Deborah’s Place demonstrates this commitment with its bi-annual Board-approved Affirmative Action Plan.

Deborah’s Place’s Affirmative Action Plan is not intended to provide preferences to protected groups, but rather to provide equal employment opportunities, including but not limited to, recruitment, hiring, placement, promotion, transfer, layoff, recall, leaves of absence, compensation, benefits, training, and termination.
