BACKGROUND:
In June of 2016 Lt. Governor Spencer Cox along with representatives from DWS
and DHS held a meeting in Grand County to introduce a state-wide initiative to
mitigate the effects of intergenerational poverty and develop a plan to mobilize
existing services within the County that will allow children experiencing IGP to
establish a foundation for a successful adulthood.
13 Counties in the State of Utah were identified as having a high percentage of
children living in IGP and a high risk of children remaining in poverty as adults.
Grand County is one of those 13. (see GC Fact Sheet)
The initiative began in 2012 when the Legislature adopted the Intergenerational
Poverty Mitigation Act. The act requires the Department of Workforce Services to
collect and analyze data from a number of State agencies with a focus on the
challenges and barriers facing children in poverty (distinguishes between IGP and
situational). Four focus areas emerged from the data evaluation which seem to
correlate with intergenerational poverty: 1) Early Childhood Development, 2)
Education, 3) Family Economic Stability and 4) Health.
The "Intergenerational Welfare Reform Commission", a State level commission
comprised of Executive Directors of a number of State agencies (DWS, DHS,
UDOH, USBE, USHE, UCAT, GOED) and chaired by Lt. Governor Cox grew out
of this process and currently provides guidance to the ongoing efforts both at the
State and the County level.
The IWRC through the DWS tasked the affected Counties to develop a
Partnership, under the leadership of a Lead agency, comprised of specific
community entities.
DWS issued non-competitive planning grants in the fall of 2016 to assist counties
in forming partnership and garnering resources to develop a plan. Plans (based
on a provided template) were due in June of 2017. Grand County submitted a
plan.
Councilwomen Hawks and I have acted as co-chairs of the County Partnership
and in early 2017 were able to bring two co -facilitators on board, Ali Fuller who
facilitated the meetings and Kaitlin Myers who took notes and wrote the plan.
Those two people along with an amazing group of people who attended monthly
meetings made this happen. I cannot give enough praise to any of them.
We are now at the implementation stage of this initiative and this presents the
biggest challenge we have yet to face. The Intergenerational Welfare Reform
Commission requires the Counties to form a sub -committee which meets 3 or 4
Page 5 of 239
4-1 Presentations
times per year, the chair of which will attend the IWRC meetings and provide
information and updates on progress, needs, barriers etc. I currently represent
Grand County on this committee.
It should be noted that there is currently no new funding provided to accomplish
any of the goals in our plan. The partnership kept this in mind when developing
strategies, but the largest impediment is that there is no coordinator to assess
progress and ensure the right steps are being taken.
If the initiative is to move forward, it will require support from the County and the
City. Of critical importance is having someone who can coordinate the activities
identified in the plan. It's important to note that there is no money attached to this
initiative. The assumption has always been that the local community will find a
way to utilize existing programs and services to actualize the plan. While this
may be possible to a degree, it will require much coordination and follow-up and is
more than can be asked of a volunteer. The County will also need to identify a
person who will represent them at the sub -committee meetings. This person will
need to stay involved and be current on the status of implementation.

SUMMARY: 2017 Grand County Intergenerational Poverty Plan
Goals
• Early Childhood Development: Parents will obtain skills to support the healthy
development of children and mitigate exposure to toxic stress.
• Health: IGP children and adults have access to quality, timely, affordable healthcare.
Target Population
• The Grand County Intergenerational Poverty Action Plan targets all IGP children and
adults living in Grand County, regardless of demographics or cultural differences.
Key Strategies
• Fund an IGP Coordinator to implement the plan and support collaboration amongst
relevant agencies in order to improve continuity of care and alleviate intergenerational
poverty rates in Grand County
• Create a parenting involvement program at the hospital to teach parents effective
attachment parenting strategies at or before birth and refer both parents and children
to additional services as needed throughout childhood
• Improve access to in -home mental, behavioral, and physical health services for parents
and children
Key Measures to Track Progress
• Trends in number of calls/cases to Department of Child and Family Services, Grand
County Judicial System, law enforcement, Seekhaven, Children's Justice Center, Moab
Regional Hospital and Emergency Room, etc.
• Trends in public school testing at intake, ASQ-SE tests, HeadStart social/emotional
questionnaire, SEEIP evaluations, ACE tests
• Participation rates and exit evaluation results of current and new programs related to
intergenerational poverty efforts in Grand County
Assumptions
• The successful implementation of the Grand County IGP Plan relies on the creation of a
dedicated IGP Coordinator
• The IGP Plan will be integrated into Grand County's Communities that Care (CTC) Plan,
so some details of the plan will change as the CTC process evolves.
• Additional funding and resources are necessary for the expansion and creation of new
programs
Barriers/Challenges
• Long-term access to funding and resources
• Uncertainty of capacity or funding for a dedicated IGP Coordinator
Page 11 of 239
4-1 Presentations
Next Steps
• Meet with the CTC Coalition to discuss ways to assimilate IGP and CTC efforts into one
cohesive, realistic plan
• Hire or select an IGP Coordinator
• Seek funding sources for expanding/creating new services

County Plan Summary
Grand County feels the aches and pains of big city problems, yet it receives small town funding. Like the
Wasatch Front and Back, the Moab area serves nearly two million tourists annually, but it struggles
alongside other rural communities for access to resources. Its seasonal population is not accounted
for in many of the census studies, often skewing data to hide the county's severe struggles for fair
housing and reasonable cost of living. Relying on tourism as the main economic driver has caused
land prices to skyrocket while wages remain stagnant, creating an ever-increasing affordability gap
that has left Moab residents with few options.
Tourism and hospitality -related industries employ about 60% of the workers in Grand County and
collect more than 83% of the revenue, yet the average annual wage for service -related jobs is
$24,756 — substantially lower than the statewide average of $37,923. In 2014, 29.2% of all
households in Grand County earned less than $20,000, ranking 26' across all counties in Utah. In
2015, the average annual wage for those experiencing intergenerational poverty was $15,021, just
a fraction of the statewide and county average wages.
Coupled with high housing and living costs, many of the county's residents struggle to make ends
meet, leading to higher rates of poverty — and intergenerational poverty — in the area.
Grand County is often excluded from funding and resource pools. It is one of only four counties in
Utah that does not benefit from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funding for crucial
in -home services. The large number of transient residents strain the county's health and medical
infrastructure systems, yet the region is not considered a Healthcare Provider Shortage Area (HPSA)
for primary or dental care. It is one of the many rural regions competing for Utah's minimal rural
set -aside funding sources. Out of necessity, service providers in the Moab area have spread
themselves thin to address some of the community's most difficult challenges.
To address intergenerational poverty, Grand County's development team selected two areas on
which to focus: early childhood development and health. The team believes that teaching families
how to support the healthy development of their children and expanding healthcare access to every
Grand County resident will be the most effective and sustainable way to address, and eventually
stop, the pervasive cycle of poverty in the community. Early childhood development and health are
two goals that are heavily intertwined and address some of the most basic human needs.

Needs Assessment
County Goals for Intergenerational Poverty
The Grand County Intergenerational Poverty Plan will address the state's overarching goals regarding
early childhood education and health. Grand County adopted one of the state's long-term early
childhood development outcomes: Parents will obtain skills to support the healthy development of
children and mitigate exposure to toxic stress. Additionally, the plan closely aligns with the state's
outcome measure to ensure quality, timely, and affordable access to healthcare for all children and
parents struggling with intergenerational poverty. Grand County's health goals indirectly address many
of the state's expected outcomes. By expanding access to services at birth and improving access to in -
home mental, behavioral, and physical health services, the county is working to tackle the Commission's
statewide early childhood development and health goals.
Measurements of Progress and Success
The evaluation indicators for Grand County's two major goals are listed below.
Early Childhood Development
• Number of cases at:
o Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS)
o Children's Justice Center
