We have one more chance to influence budget policies in the House of Representatives before it moves to the Senate.
Join us Friday morning for updates and an opportunity to advocate.
The discussion focused on how supporters in Ohio can communicate with conference committee members to strengthen families and communities in the final process of Ohio's 2014-15 budget.
Advocates focused on early learning, long term care, developmental disabilities, and food assistance. Speakers also talked about a possible pathway to expand healthcare coverage to Ohioans through two new Medicaid reform bills in the House and the Senate.
We know that one of the biggest factors that move Ohioans up and out of poverty is a job, but a job doesn’t always mean a living. Ohio’s public policies have the potential to create good jobs, increase opportunity for all Ohioans, and make Ohio’s economy stronger.
Speakers discussed how state policy decisions and budget proposals can potentially influence Ohio’s employment and direct care workforce. They covered programs in place to support working Ohioans – including person-centered work programs, the direct care workforce, and work supports – and how you can advocate for working Ohioans in the Senate.
Speakers included:
* Joel Potts, Executive Director, Ohio Job and Family Services Directors’ Association
* Beth Kowalczyk, Chief Policy Officer, Ohio Association of Area Agencies on Aging
* Wendy Patton, Senior Project Director, Policy Matters Ohio
The legislature and the administration will be revisiting portions of the approved two-year state budget this spring.
This “mid-biennium” budget review is sure to mean policy changes that affect health, human services, and early care & education in Ohio.
The state budget bill includes funding and policy decisions that impact all areas of health and human services, including health care and behavioral health. Big changes are proposed for programs that deliver health care to Ohioans.
Join us for a webinar about opportunities and challenges in the state budget with a highlight on behavioral health care and Medicaid.

Big changes are happening for low-income Ohioans between the ages of 16 and 24. On July 1st, Ohio became the first state to implement a comprehensive case management and employment program (CCMEP) to increase access to education and work opportunities for Ohio youth.

Big changes are coming for Ohioans who are 60+ and Ohioans with disabilities. The Ohio Department of Medicaid has announced changes to streamline the Medicaid program by eliminating spend-down after August 2016. The changes will bring a greater number of people into Medicaid but will also result in some people losing their benefits. The transition is complex, continues to evolve, and holds severe repercussions for many Ohioans’ health care coverage.
Speakers include:
-Jeanne Carroll, Assistant Director, Ohio Jobs and Family Services Directors' Association
-Beth Kowalczyk, Chief Policy Officer, Ohio Association of Area Agencies on Aging

Speakers include:
- Loren Anthes, Public Policy Fellow, Medicaid Policy Center, The Center for Community Solutions
- Wendy Patton, Senior Project Director, Policy Matters Ohio
- Brandi Slaughter, Chief Executive Officer, Voices for Ohio’s Children

Transportation is vital for people to get to work, grocery stores, medical appointments, child care, school, and participate in the economy. With transportation at the heart of many barriers Ohioans face in their daily lives, Ohio needs a 21st century transportation system made up not only of roads and highways but also a network of transportation options, including public transit, passenger and freight rail, streetcars, hybrid buses, electric vehicles, and walk-able, bike-able streets.
