Annie E. Casey Foundation

Founded in 1948, the Annie E. Casey Foundation was created to help America’s kids have a brighter future by – strengthening families, – building stronger communities, and, – ensuring access to opportunity.

SLIDE 3

Building a brighter future…

One way Casey achieves this is by

providing reliable data analysis through the KIDS COUNT grants in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands

Casey funds these groups to collect

data and report on the most critical measures of child and family well- being in their states.

Florida KIDS COUNT

In addition to the annual Data Book, Florida KIDS COUNT produces topical and geographically-specific briefs for planning and increasing awareness, such as: – Children’s health insurance coverage – The effects of parental incarceration – Why reading by 3rd grade matters – Healthy births and early childhood

SLIDE 12

New Parental Incarceration Report According to a new report titled A Shared Sentence: The Devastating Toll of Parental Incarceration on Kids, Families and Communities, just released by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, 312,000 of Florida’s children have experienced the separation of a parent due to incarceration.

SLIDE 13

Effects of parental incarceration

Children Families Communities

Increased

likelihood of mental health problems

Finding and

maintaining stable housing

Funds for imprisonment

pulls funds from education, health care and other social programs

Increased

trouble in school

Finding and

maintaining stable employment

Fewer available

employees weakens local economy

Trauma from

separation

Distance to prison

locations make it difficult for families to visit and maintain relationships

Have weaker social

support networks for their residents

Have increased

recidivism

SLIDE 14

“Looking back, our lives could have been less traumatic if there would have been free rehabilitation programs for repeat drug offenders, support for single mothers in domestic abuse situations, mental health facilities that were free and targeted at long lasting behavioral changes, not just temporary solutions, and adjusting sentencing guidelines for nonviolent offenders with an apparent trend related to alcohol and drugs.” “Community organizations, schools and judges should reach

ut to children that have parents

who have been incarcerated and create some sort of group that

ffers activities and group

counseling for the children. I remember being embarrassed about my mother’s situation and would have liked to know if there were other kids going through the same thing.”

One child’s story

(from adult perspective)

SLIDE 15

More Florida Children Need Coverage

Findings from several recent reports reveal that Florida’s children lag behind the nation and other southeastern states in health insurance coverage. Although the rate of uninsured children in the state declined by 25% between 2009 & 2013, Florida still has nearly half a million children without any health insurance coverage.

SLIDE 16

The effect on children

Children without health insurance 1 Children with health insurance

less likely to have a regular

health care provider

have families with greater safeguards

against financial devastation when a child experiences a serious or chronic illness1

less likely to receive care

when needed

is associated with improvements in

academic outcomes including decreased high school dropout rates2

more likely to receive

treatment after their condition worsens

is associated with improved health

indicators including reduced risky sex behavior, lower obesity3 , lower use of alcohol, marijuana and cigarettes;

more likely to be

hospitalized

So how do I get those data?

Visit the KIDS COUNT Data Center at http://datacenter.kidscount.org/

SLIDE 22

Where do the data come from?

US Census
Florida Department of Education
Florida Department of Health
Florida Department of Juvenile Justice

SLIDE 23

Why don’t I just get them myself?

These data sources are all in one

place by different geographic levels (national, state, county, congressional district)

SLIDE 24

Let’s walk through

Choose Florida – compares Florida

and US

SLIDE 25

SLIDE 26

Then decide on

Location (County, Congressional

District, City)

Topic (Poverty)
Characteristics (Race / Ethnicity, Age,

& Nativity – Immigrant or U.S. Born)

Note: Not all variables are available each location type, topic or characteristic

Let’s share

Send a table
Send a line chart
Send a bar chart
Send a map
You can email it, tweet it, download it
r print it.

SLIDE 32

SLIDE 33

So how can I use this info?

Executive Directors – guiding strategic

planning efforts through forecast data that shows changes in demographics and areas of need in your community

Supporting Donors or their advisors in

deciding which funds to invest in

Grants Management – What are the

funding priorities going to be within or across funds

SLIDE 34

A brief example

Say you are interested in the scope

and effects of poverty on families and you live in Alachua County.

Like we did you can go to the Data

Center and you find that….

SLIDE 35

Alachua’s population

In 2013, there were 248,002 residents
f whom 18% (N = 44,748) were

children under the age 18

– 61.9% were White / Caucasian – 31.6% were Black / African – American – 6.3% identified with multiple ethnic groups – 9.8% identified as Hispanic / Latino (The proportion of children of color is higher than that Alachua county overall.)

SLIDE 36

Alachua County

25.7% of children under 18 lived in

poverty – higher than Florida’s rate of 24.8%

52.9% of Alachua’s school children

received free or reduced lunch, a ‘proxy’ measure of low socioeconomic status

SLIDE 37

So what next?

Visit Florida KIDS COUNT

publications to see what there is on the topic of poverty and addressing its effects

You will find an infographic on

Florida’s household income

A brief on high poverty communities
A report on two generational

approaches to poverty

And a few more….

SLIDE 38

And then what?

You can ask KIDS COUNT things like
Can you get me those data for my

county?

Can you update that with the latest

data?

What else is out there that describes

poverty in my community? (e.g., the United Way’s ALICE report at http://www.uwof.org/alice)

SLIDE 39

How can you use KIDS COUNT resources?

1. Check out the Data Center and see

what data are there already that meet your needs

2. Look at www.flkidscount.org and look
