  • NEON Grant’S

(Restricted Funds)

  • NEON’s many

grants are restricted by individual program and service

  • requirements. In the

Past, NEON allocated the expenses of salary, fringe, direct client service etc… across

  • For the past 30 years the City of

Norwalk provided funding to assist NEON to supplement other grant

  • funding. City dollars serve as a

match to Federal, State, Local and Private funds. The City required limited specificity and suggested no change in accounting practices until now! The previous Executive Managers are no longer at NEON. Current Management demands the transparency and accountability required to regain public trust. Necessary systems and practices are being implemented to ensure and sustain progress.

  • Past Practice
  • Since the 1980’s NEON has received a single city

contract providing funding for NEON, Inc., Administration, NEON Head Start, Building Overhead and RSVP . A separate contract covers NEON’s Summer camp. In past years the city did not define

  • r communicate contractual expectations. NEON did

not report progress or outcomes. There was no transparency in operations or finance.

  • Current Financial Challenge
  • A lack of accountability and questionable financial practices

resulted in the city witholding $1,327,375.00 in funds. While these funds have been characterized as “Head Start,” – the dollars are allocated in the agency.* The sudden lack of City funds is likely to cause hourly reductions and lay offs affecting more than 80 staff.

NEON City Funding:

  • Past Practice, Current Financial

Challenge & Position

NEON’s Present Position

NEON has changed past practice. We have evaluated all contracts, programs and projects that are not connected to

  • funding. We have eliminated individuals and expenses from the

Head Start budget that were not related to the program or were improperly charged to Head Start. We are also evaluating systems and have implemented procedures to insure that the problems identified cannot be repe

NEON is a key part of this community. Our programs

NEON’s State and Federal grants, municipal and private funders create

  • pportunity for vulnerable residents to

help themselves within the Norwalk Community. In the last quarter we assisted 4,345 households across racial, ethnic, age and family compositions. 406–under 5 years, 1,483 between the ages 6 and 17, 2,357 between age 18–54, 545 between 5 –69, 375 over age 70. We served 1058 African-Americans, 1401 Latinos, 1094 Caucasians.

The city of Norwalk helped NEON serve these
