Current Narrative:

Since creating and hiring the new MSFW Outreach Specialist position, the SWA has created a plan for outreach and training in each of the regions in the state of Indiana, focusing on the highly saturated agricultural areas first. The training focuses on helping front line staff collect appropriate data and sharing that data with our MSFW Outreach Specialist for further outreach efforts past what the local WorkOne Office can provide. The SMA and MSFW Outreach Specialist are compiling local resources for staff to better inform and refer the MSFW population what services and opportunities are in their area. The SWA has partnered with the IDHS to coordinate mobile food pantries with MSFW Staff outreach to camps and growers across the State of Indiana to provide assistance and information to MSFW clients. The SWA has collected clients from the NFJP Provider for outreach and follow up for WorkOne services. The MSFW Outreach Coordinator has created a map of the State to show what crops are active in which season and is focusing on growers, farmers in those areas and times to find the MSFW population for delivery of WorkOne Services. The SWA is working through defining/training the application questions so frontline staff has a better idea of what makes an MSFW client eligible and what partner agencies are in each region for referrals for other barriers not covered by WorkOne.
