Women’s History Month: Rebecca Reynolds
Courtesy of NeighborWorks.org
For more than 35 years, our network of more than 240 nonprofit organizations provide a number of services to their communities, including access
to homeownership and safe, affordable housing. At the helm of 40 percent
of these organizations are female leaders.
Rebecca “Becky” Reynolds is the executive director of Little Dixie Community Action Agency. She has more than two decades of experience in
the community-based nonprofit space. She is committed to working diligently to alleviate the causes and conditions of poverty and changing the
odds for families in Southeast Oklahoma.
During this Women’s History Month, we asked her a few questions we
think might help other women who are earlier in their careers.
How has the work of community development and affordable
housing changed during your professional career?
I began my career in the community-based nonprofit field 22 years
ago. The community development and affordable housing field has
been ever-evolving. The focus remains the same - working with low-income and underserved communities - but
the struggle faced by people in poverty has not.
What’s your advice for women in this field?
Have a good sense of humor and take it easy on yourself. This is serious and awesome work. You can become
overly passionate and burn out; the combination of passion for social justice and the stresses of managing an organization can cripple the strongest. So take it easy on yourself; be gracious to both yourself and others in both success
and failure.
“The growth in technology is essential to
designing and delivering products and Has this advice been important to your success? Why or why not?
programs that are critical to community Yes, the passion for the work equates to a baseball metaphor: bat a thousand.
and housing development.”
Rebecca Reynolds
Executive Director
Little Dixie Community
Action Agency
When I grew up, our entire family had a love for baseball. As a family,
our outings and vacations were focused around baseball. I believe if you
are passionate about what you do, then you strive to bat a thousand and
you will have more success than you ever imagined.

Section 502 Packaging Training
Several employees of Little Dixie CAA’s T&MA Contractor Department recently attended Section
502 Packaging Certification Training. This three-day advanced course covers USDA Rural Development’s
Section 502 Direct Loan Program and provides invaluable insight as to how this homeownership financing
resource can be utilized. It teaches participants how to assist potential borrowers and work in partnership with
RD staff, as well as other nonprofit organizations and regional intermediaries to deliver successful Section 502
loan packages.
This course is intended for and specifically framed for those experienced in utilizing Section 502 and/or other
affordable housing mortgage products.
Participants learn regulations and practical applications of the loan program,
while developing a strong understanding
of 502 direct underwriting and packaging standards.
The other employees of the T&MA
Contractor Department have previously
attended similar trainings and Little
Dixie CAA is happy to announce that
all staff of the T&MA Contractor Department have become certified packagers for the Section 502 Direct Loan Program.

Intermediary 502 Direct Loan Program
Through partnership with USDA Rural Development, Little Dixie CAA is serving as Intermediary for
the 502 Direct Loans in a six-state area. Little Dixie CAA was initially assigned four states: Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, and Nebraska. In February 2016, the agency added two more states: Louisiana and Missouri.
Little Dixie CAA works to obtain USDA Rural Development approval and perform quality reviews on
502 Direct Loan applications prior to submission to Rural Development. The agency oversees ten certified
packagers in these six states. There are currently five 502 Direct Loans submitted to USDA Rural Development for processing.
As the Intermediary, Little Dixie CAA strives to increase the number of qualified 502 loan packagers
across the six-state area for the purpose of identifying eligible loan applicants. By doing this, the agency assists in providing affordable housing for low and very-low income families.

Head Start / Early Head Start
Staff Receive Child Development Credentials
Little Dixe Head Start/Early Head Start is proud to
announce numerous staff that have made a step forward in
their Child Development careers. These employees dedicated
countless hours in preparation for obtaining a renowned credential that displays a vast array of knowledge in the field of
child development. The CDA (Child Development Associate)
process involves a series of steps including completion of 120
education clock hours, which are obtained upon completion of
Care Course workbooks relating to child development. Once
these education hours have been completed, a comprehensive
test is taken. Staff are observed in their prospective center participating in their scheduled daily routine and activities. Information from the observation is compiled with the test scores
and reviewed by a CDA Council. Individuals receiving satisfactory scores are awarded the Child Development Associate
credential. Staff members work very hard toward obtaining
this credential and it is a great accomplishment.
Hope Scott and Lori Edge obtained a CDA in the PreSchool setting. These ladies both work within three year old
classrooms in the Head Start program. Ceara Sales, Megan
Motes, Lindsey Peters, and Jessica Ferguson obtained a CDA
in the Infant/Toddler setting. These ladies all work within the
Early Head Start classrooms.

Clouds in the Sky
Little Dixie CAA’s Haworth
Head Start conducted science experiments to learn about clouds in the
sky. The children used mason jars
with water, shaving cream to represent rain clouds, and food coloring.
The more food coloring the children
added, the more “rain” would fall
from the clouds.
Little Dixie CAA congratulates these individuals on
this accomplishment and fully support all endeavors that our
staff make in furthering their skill sets and education within
the field of Child Development.

AmeriCorps: Getting Things Done For Community
and Country
The 2015-2016 AmeriCorps Members
are actively working with Little Dixie Head
Start and Early Head Start children to help
them complete their individual development
plan (IDP) goals and be better prepared to enter kindergarten. The members quickly become an invaluable member of the classroom
team once they begin their service in their
designated centers. The staff appreciates the
input and hard work the members dedicate to
the program and all of the hours spent working to prepare the children to be successful in
public school.
Pictured is Doisha Furr, current AmeriCorps Member serving at Little Dixie
CAA’s Battiest Head Start. She was playing “my first counting game” with
these girls to help them with object counting and number recognition.
To the AmeriCorps Members currently serving children in our Head Start and Early Head Start classrooms,
Little Dixie Community Action Agency appreciates the time and effort you spend serving as school readiness
coaches for our enrolled children.
It takes a big heart to shape little minds! Thank you for helping shape little minds!
Thank you for helping to improve the lives of the children we serve!
You make a difference!!!!!

What has been your biggest career obstacle and how did you overcome it?
My biggest career obstacle was myself. I overcame it by taking charge, believing in myself, being driven and determined to succeed, and working very hard toward attaining the goals I set for myself.
How has technology affected the way we do community development and affordable housing work?
I think technology is a game changer, from management to marketing. The growth in technology is essential
to designing and delivering products and programs that are critical to community and housing development
issues.
If you had the chance to have dinner with or ask advice of anyone throughout history, who would it be
and why?
I think I would choose Sargent Shriver, as he was one of the “architects” who helped President Johnson create
the economic opportunity act to establish programs to address poverty in our country. His work has changed,
for the better, so many lives, and has been doing so for more than 50 years.
What’s your favorite book?
I don’t know if this book is my all-time favorite but it definitely has made an impact on me recently: “Act
Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader.” The author turns the philosophy of “thinks first and then act” on its
head by arguing that redefining your job to make more strategic contributions, diversifying your network and
becoming more playful with your ideas will help you learn through action and expand your viewpoint.
CPR and First Aid Class Conducted
Recently, Skip Perkins, Little Dixie CAA Transit Trainer, spent time with
35 high school seniors at Fort Towson School going over the basics of CPR and
First Aid. It is a requirement that seniors have CPR training in order to graduate.
Skip was asked if he would volunteer his services to help these young men and
women understand what they can do to help someone in a
crisis situation. Skip readily agreed; he stated “it is always
great to help out the community.” He also stated that it
was good to be a part of getting the next generation of
young people ready to face a new chapter in their lives.

Oklahoma Navigators Meet in Hugo, Oklahoma
Little Dixie CAA’s Navigator program has completed its third open enrollment period assisting consumers who apply for health insurance through the Marketplace at www.healthcare.gov. Navigators offer free,
in-person assistance to all consumers. Navigators are not just available during open enrollment periods, but are
available to assist consumers throughout the year. All individuals who are not covered by health insurance
need to be advised about special enrollment periods that might qualify them for health coverage now.
Special enrollment periods that might help individuals get health coverage now (outside of the open
enrollment period) are: getting married/divorced, loss of job-based coverage, loss of other health coverage,
move to a new state or another city, changes in income, becoming a U.S. Citizen, leaving incarceration (jail),
change of dependency status on an insurance plan, death of a covered member in the household, turning 26 or
older, aging out of a parent’s plan, or AmeriCorps members starting or ending their service.
If you already have health coverage, please be advised that it is very important that you report income
and household changes to the Marketplace. Here are some things that need to be reported: changes to income
and changes to health coverage; changes to the household or individual members; birth or adoption; becoming
pregnant; marriage/divorce; a child turning 26 on a plan; death; losing or gaining a dependent; and/or moving.
The Little Dixie CAA Navigator Consortium recently provided training to all the sub-grantee navigators across the State of Oklahoma. The training was held at Hugo Lake State Park and focused on Special Enrollment Periods (SEP’s) for consumers and how marketing/
outreach will help inform consumers about SEP’s. Navigators are focusing on helping consumers get health coverage
now that open enrollment is over.
If you need to update your Marketplace account or
would like information regarding SEP’s, please contact
Bethani Lewis or Ronnie Kaye Bailey at (580) 326-5434 to
make an appointment or you may visit www.healthcare.gov.

Healthy Start Partners with Obstetricians
Little Dixie CAA’s Healthy Start Program recently partnered with several Obstetricians to help meet the needs of prenatal
women living in our tri-county area. Currently, these women are
traveling great distances to receive the care they need as there is
only one obstetrician available in the area.
Dr. Allyson Taylor, whose primary practice is located in
Durant, has partnered with Healthy Start and has began providing
services to her patients living in this area. Dr. Taylor is seeing patients in Hugo twice a month at the Hugo Medical Clinic. On the
days Dr. Taylor is in Hugo, a Healthy Start Care Coordinator is on
site to meet with patients to discuss the benefits of the Healthy Start
Program.
Dr. Kinion Whittington, whose primary practice is also located in Durant, is in the process of constructing a clinic and lab in
Hugo for obstetric services. Dr. Whittington, and his partner Dr.
Autumn Hensley, will provide services in Hugo five days a week.
