o As a result of CAA advocacy and partnerships, tax incentives are created to encourage
more small businesses to open in the community. Three new small businesses take
advantage of this incentive and 35 new jobs are created, of which 20 are “living wage”
jobs with full benefits.
(Report as 1 project/initiative and 35 opportunities. (Note the CAA would also report as 1
project/initiative and 20 opportunities in NPI 2.1B)

Data Validation: The number reported in NPI 2.1A is always equal to or greater than the
number reported in NPI 2.1B.

Cross-Reference NPI: The number of jobs created here that were also filled by low-income
CAA participants should also be reported in NPI 1.1A.

B. Accessible “living wage” jobs created, or saved from reduction or elimination in the
community

As with NPI 1.1, the definition of “living wage” will be determined in the context of State or
local economic conditions. What is being measured and reported in this subcategory is the
creation or retention of jobs in the community over a one-year period that pay sufficient wages
and benefits to reduce or eliminate dependence of families on public or private benefit programs
and services.

o As a result of CAA advocacy and partnerships, tax incentives are created to keep an
existing business in the community, with 400 “living wage” jobs, from relocating to a
different community (job retention).
(Report as 1 project/initiative and 400 opportunities.)

o A CAA micro-business initiative funded by the Small Business Administration and state
economic development funds results in the formation of six new businesses in the
community with a total of 45 “living wage” jobs.
(Report as 1 project/initiative and 45 opportunities.)

Data Validation: The number reported in NPI 2.1B is always equal to or less than the number
reported in NPI 2.1A.

Cross-Reference NPI: The number of jobs created here that were also filled by low-income
CAA participants should also be reported in NPI 1.1A and NPI 1.1D.

C. Safe and affordable housing units created in the community

Safe and affordable housing is defined as the agency deems it appropriate, considering
community conditions.

o Through a CAA partnership with the local housing authority and several financial
institutions, the agency builds a senior living center for low-income aging individuals,
thereby increasing the stock of affordable housing in the community by 40 units.
(Report as 1 project/initiative and 40 opportunities.)
