9 Introduction The YC-LIFE Annual Report 2012 updates indicators of our community that were reported in Compass 2001 and presents additional indicators to track economic, social, and environmental conditions of value or concern to people residing in Yakima County. This report will assist the public, local governments and private funders in making informed decisions toward building and sustaining healthy communities. Building on the success of Compass 2001, the Yakima County Local Indicators for Excellence (YC-LIFE) aims to support Collective Impact Projects around the County. The data collected in this report will be released on an annual basis to track progress and assist organizations and ongoing initiatives. In addition to tracking various indicators on a County-Level, changes to the US Census have made it possible to track annual changes on the City Level as well for many indicators. Compass 2001 In 2001 United Way of Yakima County,i in partnership with multiple local businesses, government and health and human service organizations, undertook one of the largest and most comprehensive community needs assessments ever conducted in Yakima County Compass ii This report identified strengths, assets and issues impacting the community. In addition to pulling objective data from a variety of resources, Compass 2001 also conducted hundreds of surveys of County residents and Community Leaders. Wherever possible, the objective data published in Compass 2001 is listed to provide a snapshot of the changes over the last ten years. Collective Impact The winter 2011 issue of Stanford Social Innovation Review featured an article titled Collective Impact, which described a clear framework for how organizations across all sectors can work together to achieve a common goal. This article defined Collective Impact as follows: i Now United Way of Central Washington ii United Way; Compass 2001, Setting a Course for Our Future, 2001 Y a k i m a C o u n t y L o c a l I n d i c a t o r s f o r E x c e l l e n c e Page 8

10 Collective Impact initiatives involve a centralized infrastructure, a dedicated staff, and a structured process that leads to a common agenda, shared measurement, continuous communication, and mutually reinforcing activities among all participants. iii Yakima County has been far ahead of this curve with collaborations such as Children s Village, The Homeless Network of Yakima County, Investing in Children, and the Yakima County Gang Commission. As funding has decreased, there have been increased conversations about how agencies and initiatives can leverage and support each other towards serving the community. There are Five Conditions of Collective Success which define a project: 1. Common Agenda - a shared vision for change among the participants 2. Shared Measurement Systems - agreement on ways to measure and report progress 3. Mutually Reinforcing Activities - alignment so different participants are doing different activities that in sum support the common goals 4. Continuous Communication - regular meetings and conversations are necessary to build trust and understanding 5. Backbone Support Organization - a separate organization and staff to support the collective effort and serve as the backbone for the initiative These conditions have been used in the development of YC-LIFE specifically as a backbone support organization. YC-LIFE In the past, community data trends were tracked and measured annually by United Way through the State of Caring Index, which measured community indicators over a 10-year trend line that was then compared and scored on a 100 point scale to state averages. As of 2009, the State of Caring Index database was no longer maintained, which resulted in no centralized data collection available to the public or community leaders. YC-LIFE started in 2009 in response to the loss of the State of Caring Index. The Yakima County Department of Human Services, in partnership with United Way, has continued to collect existing data iii Stanford Social Innovation Review, Collective Impact, Y a k i m a C o u n t y L o c a l I n d i c a t o r s f o r E x c e l l e n c e Page 9

11 and has added additional indicators representing multiple data points and areas of need in Yakima County. As of 2011, the number indicators that are tracked have grown to almost 2,000. The Challenge In 2011, the Collective Impact model began to gain national recognition as communities across the Country looked at how collaboration could serve the community in a more streamlined and focused strategy. In Yakima County, rather than developing one Collective Impact project, many successful examples of Collective Impact are currently operating. These initiatives could benefit from a common infrastructure that supports the following: 1. Multiple initiatives, both New and Existing 2. Various geographic units: County, City, School District, and Neighborhood 3. Multiple areas of interest: Crime, Healthcare, Substance Abuse, etc. 4. Various populations: Community Members, At-risk populations, Veterans, etc. Acting as a Backbone Support Organization, YC-LIFE would support current initiatives by performing the following: 1. Centralizing Data Collection Collecting and releasing data as well as providing an Annual Report. 2. Assisting with Planning Informing initiatives of other efforts in the community and assisting with development of cohesive action plans. 3. Providing Development Support Writing development plans and grants for collaborations. 4. Providing Community Mobilization Assisting initiatives in engaging the community.

Since this report lists more indicators than the Compass 2001 report, there will be an occasional asterisk ( * ) showing the information was not collected. In the past, review of data on the City or Census Tract level was only possible after the Decennial Census or through specific research or studies. Recent changes in the census now make it possible to review multiple indicators on an annual basis. This report contains City-Level data whenever possible.

14 While the main data source is the US Census, some of the indicators use a variety of sources which only measure County-Level data. In addition to including City-Level data, this report also includes National-Level data for comparison. In a few cases the data source is a state agency which does not include National statistics.

62 About Median Income Median Household Income is a measure commonly used by the United States government and private institutions, that counts the income of all residents over the age of 18 in each household, including not only all wages and salaries, but such items as unemployment insurance, disability payments, child support payments, regular rental receipts, as well as any personal business, investment, and other kinds of income received routinely. The residents of the household do not have to be related to the head of the household for their earnings to be considered part of the household's income. Median Family Income is an annual income figure. Unlike per capita income, which is an average, the median divides income distribution into two equal parts: one-half below the median income and onehalf above. It is based on the distribution of the total number of families, including those with no income. There is a significant difference between median household income and median family income. Households include all occupied housing units in the nation including family and non-family. The difference in terms of income is what comprises a family household. In order to meet the census definition of family household two or more related persons must have been occupying the household. After subtracting family households from the total, the remainder is nonfamily households that often are either occupied by one person or, if there is more than one occupant, they are not related. Generally, family households are likely to have a higher income because many of them have two or more wage earners contributing to the family household income. Conversely, a majority of non-family households are either comprised of one person or the occupants are not related and do not share their income.

65 DSHS Assistance Economic Service Use rates and percent of population on TANF are measured in this section.

The administration oversees over a dozen major federal and state programs aimed at reducing poverty, and promoting parental responsibility and self-sufficiency including: Washington's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families / TANF program; Disability Lifeline for the Unemployable; Basic Food, Washington's food stamp program; Washington Telephone Assistance; Refugee Cash Assistance; and Child Support Enforcement. xxvii In Yakima County, 45.1% of all residents, 107,635 individuals, receive some form of Economic Services described above.
