Advocates for Ohio's Future hosted a webinar on the Mid-Biennium Review and Senate Bill 216. The webinar featured speakers from the Ohio Job and Family Services Directors’ Association, The Ohio Council of Behavioral Health & Family Service Providers, and the Center for Community Solutions. The speakers discussed provisions around workforce development, county JFS consolidation, behavioral health funding, addiction treatment funding cuts, early childhood education quality reforms, and data sharing. Advocates for Ohio's Future recommended support for these issues and ways for participants to get more involved in advocacy.
The document discusses how population aging is contributing to slower economic growth and rising government debt in the United States. It presents a framework for Social Security reform that could increase economic growth by promoting delayed retirement, rewarding work at all ages, increasing savings, and improving the sustainability of Social Security. Key aspects of the framework include raising the retirement age while protecting vulnerable workers, basing benefits on all years of earnings rather than average lifetime earnings, and automatically enrolling workers in supplemental retirement accounts. The reform aims to boost labor supply, savings, and long-term economic growth while restoring solvency to Social Security.
The document summarizes the Austin Independent School District's budget outlook and challenges for fiscal year 2012. It notes declining local property values and expected state funding cuts of $2-5 billion. This would result in a budget shortfall for AISD of $94-114 million. To close this gap, AISD proposes reductions like increasing class sizes, employee furloughs, and using $31 million of its fund balance, with more cuts needed if state funding is reduced further. Maintaining adequate fund balance is important for the district's credit rating and borrowing ability.
CRFB Chartbook - Reducing the Tax Gap - 07/14/2021CRFBGraphics
The document discusses estimates of the US tax gap, which is the difference between taxes owed and taxes paid. Some key points:
- The annual tax gap is estimated at around $550 billion for tax year 2019, or about 2.6% of GDP.
- Most of the tax gap comes from underreporting of income, particularly from business income which has little mandatory information reporting.
- Increasing IRS funding for enforcement and expanding information reporting could significantly reduce the tax gap. The Biden plan is estimated to generate over $700 billion in reduced tax gap over 10 years.

In 2003, a coalition of over 110 organizations in Philadelphia saw the need to address the city's affordable housing crisis and proposed establishing a Housing Trust Fund. The coalition made the case for the fund by presenting data on the number of cost-burdened households and lack of affordable units. In 2005, state legislation was passed allowing Philadelphia to collect fees to capitalize a fund. The city ordinance established the fund's guidelines. Since 2006, the Philadelphia Housing Trust Fund has committed over $45 million to expand affordable housing and leverage over $234 million, helping over 8,000 low-income households.
This document discusses federal budget priorities and spending on children. It finds that while children represent the future and economic growth, they receive a relatively small portion of federal spending. Spending on children has declined as a share of the budget since 2010 and is projected to continue declining. It is more temporary, discretionary and lacks built-in growth compared to spending on older populations. The long-term outlook for children is especially troubling as interest on the debt is projected to surpass spending on children. Some potential solutions proposed include accounting for children more in budget projections, prioritizing children through new committees or positions, and improving policies around children's health care and dedicated revenue sources.

3.8 What’s at Stake: Federal Policy Decisions in 2012 and Beyond
Speaker: Liz Schott
The deficit reduction deal and further decisions made by Congress to reduce the federal deficit have made, and will continue to make, a tremendous impact on low-income housing and homeless assistance programs for many years to come. This workshop will cover the important funding decisions of the past months with an outlook on select programs for the upcoming year and beyond. Presenters will discuss ways in which advocates can make an impact at this incredibly important time to preserve and increase funding for key programs.
The document discusses various budget gimmicks that allow Congress to circumvent budget rules and create the appearance of fiscal discipline while not actually reducing deficits. It identifies 20 specific gimmicks and categorizes them into assumption gimmicks, manipulating the budget window, discretionary spending gimmicks, and other gimmicks. Examples are provided for many of the gimmicks. The overall document aims to educate about how budget rules are worked around and define technical terms.

Pension vs 401(k) study by the National Institute on Retirement SecurityReboot Illinois
The document summarizes case studies of three states - West Virginia, Michigan, and Alaska - that switched public pension plans from defined benefit to defined contribution plans. It finds that in all three states, the switch did not help existing underfunding problems and increased costs. Workers faced greater retirement insecurity, and the best way to address underfunding is through responsible, disciplined full funding of annual requirements. The states that later improved funding and allowed returns to defined benefit plans saw reduced costs and improved funding levels over time.
The document summarizes Maryland's fiscal year 2013 budget and priorities under Governor Martin O'Malley. It highlights job creation, education funding, health care expansion, crime reduction, and maintaining a balanced budget through spending cuts and limited tax increases on high earners. Over $3.6 billion is allocated to capital projects focused on education, health, transportation, and economic development to support an estimated 52,000 jobs.
The document summarizes a webinar discussing policy options in the aftermath of the failure of the bipartisan congressional "Supercommittee" to agree on a deficit reduction plan. It outlines that the lack of a deal will trigger $1.2 trillion in automatic, across-the-board spending cuts beginning in 2013, but that key low-income programs are exempt from these cuts. It then discusses next steps advocates could take to shape future deficit reduction efforts in a balanced way that protects vulnerable populations and boosts the economy.

The document provides an overview of the major provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) signed into law in 2010. It summarizes that the ACA expands coverage to over 30 million uninsured Americans through subsidies and Medicaid expansion. It costs $938 billion over 10 years but reduces the federal deficit by $143 billion in that time period. Key provisions include an individual mandate to purchase insurance, creation of health insurance exchanges, employer requirements, expansion of Medicaid, premium subsidies, and prevention/wellness programs. It also reforms health insurance industry practices like prohibiting denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions.

The document outlines best practices for developing a strategic partnership between housing, health, and social care sectors in Dorset, England. It discusses moving from a postcode lottery of care provision to a unified vision through a partnership agreement between six districts. This agreement redesigned working practices and perspectives to implement sector best practices. It also details how Dorset Accessible Homes expanded traditional compliance assessments and redefined their "service" to provide more housing options, assistive technology, adaptations, and handyperson services through streamlined processes, increased budgets, and widened eligibility like the Dorset Accessible Homes Grant which provides a £5,000 disregard and looks at the bigger picture.
The document summarizes highlights from Ohio's proposed state budget bill HB 153 for fiscal years 2012-2013. It discusses funding cuts to areas like education, Medicaid, and mental health services while Medicaid caseloads increase. Concerns are raised that more cuts may come in the next budget and the long-term impacts on health and human services are uncertain given over 5,000 pages of policy changes with little detail. Advocates call for more investment in areas like child welfare, mental health, and foodbanks to adequately meet growing needs.

Homeward DC, the ICH Strategic Plan (2015 - 2020), lays out a bold vision:
Together, we will end long-term homelessness in the District of Columbia. By 2020, homelessness in the District will be a rare, brief, and non-recurring experience.
The plan is built on three major goals:
--Finish the job of ending homelessness among Veterans by the end of 2015;
--End chronic homelessness among individuals and families by the end of 2017; and
--By 2020, any household experiencing housing loss will be rehoused within an average of 60 days or less.
The plan identifies a series of action items across five key strategies. The five key strategies are:
--Develop a more effective crisis response system;
--Increase the supply of affordable and supportive housing;
--Remove barriers to affordable and supportive housing;
--Increase the economic security of households in our system; and
--Increase prevention efforts to stabilize households before housing loss occurs.

Fy18 Gloucester County, Virginia administrator's proposed budget presentationKenneth Hogge Sr
The proposed county budget for fiscal year 2018 highlights maintaining current service levels with minimal increases to the real estate tax rate. The budget proposes a $0.015 increase to the tax rate to generate $600,000 in additional revenue. It funds priority capital improvement projects and compensation increases for county and school employees of 1% cost of living adjustment deferred to fiscal year 2019 along with a 1% bonus contingent on available funds from fiscal year 2017. The general fund operating budget totals $29.15 million, a 1.92% increase over the prior year. The transfer to schools is funded at $24.38 million, a 2.53% increase.
The Council of the District of Columbia held an administrative meeting on January 13, 2015 to discuss the city's financial update. Key points include:
- Revenues are projected to increase more slowly than previously estimated, with a $25.5M shortfall in FY2014 and budget pressures of $83.3M in FY2015 and $245.6M in FY2016.
- The spending freeze instituted by the former mayor remains in effect and is under review by the new mayor.
- Tax reforms went into effect to improve the economic situation, and performance budget oversight dates were outlined.
The 2023 fiscal package proposes investments in several key areas:
1. Expanding the city's violence reduction strategy through increased funding for community programs, law enforcement hiring, and initiatives addressing root causes like mental health and reentry services.
2. Investing $1.158 billion over 5 years in infrastructure like transportation, bridges, trails, and stormwater through the capital plan.
3. Providing education initiatives like literacy tutoring and completion grants to help students pursue postsecondary degrees.
4. Providing $27 million in property tax relief through $100-$150 tax credits targeted at lower-assessed value homes.
Modeling Financial Eligibility for Medicaid Payment of LTSS
1) Medicaid long-term services and expenditures (LTSS) are a large and growing part of state budgets. States may restrict LTSS eligibility rules to control costs.
2) The researchers modeled LTSS eligibility rules to understand their impact and potential consequences of restricting access.
3) The model found that restricting income eligibility rules had a larger impact on reducing the number of eligible individuals than restricting asset rules. This is because income rules are more broadly applied and generous under current policies.

The Florida Community Loan Fund is a statewide CDFI that has provided over $230 million in financing to projects totaling $768 million over its 20 year history. It has experienced significant growth, increasing its assets by 77% and the capital it manages by 50% from 2012 to 2015. The organization provides loans for housing, community facilities, and economic development throughout Florida, with a focus on low-income communities.
This document provides information about the College of Agricultural Sciences budget for fiscal years 2009/2010 and 2010/2011.

This document provides an executive summary of the Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness for 2010. The plan sets forth four key goals: 1) End chronic homelessness in 5 years; 2) Prevent and end homelessness among veterans in 5 years; 3) Prevent and end homelessness for families, youth, and children in 10 years; and 4) Set a path to ending all homelessness. The plan is a collaborative effort between 19 federal agencies to better align housing, health, education, and human services programs to prevent homelessness. It identifies 10 objectives and 52 strategies to accomplish the goals, focusing on increasing housing, economic opportunities, health/stability, and improving the homeless crisis response system.
2014 DC Metro Region Summary of 10-year Plans to End HomelessnessStreet Sense Media
The Washington Metropolitan Council of Governments reviewed plans to end homelessness in D.C., Maryland (Montgomery County, Frederick County, Prince George's County) and Virginia (Alexandria, Arlington County, Prince William County).
This document outlines a strategy to end homelessness in Washington D.C. by 2014. It proposes a two-pronged approach: 1) Immediate investments to improve existing homeless services and 2) Long-term strategies to replace the homeless system with community-based housing and care within 10 years. The plan aims to prevent and end homelessness through increasing affordable housing units, transforming shelters into rapid rehousing centers, and fully integrating homeless services and support into mainstream public systems. The goal is for any future experiences of homelessness to be brief and non-recurring.
The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of exercise on memory and thinking abilities in older adults. The study found that regular exercise can help reduce the decline in thinking abilities that often occurs with age. Older adults who exercised regularly performed better on cognitive tests and brain scans showed they had greater activity in important areas for memory and learning compared to less active peers.
This bill amends the Homeless Services Reform Act of 2005. It defines new terms like "Provider premises", "Provisional Placement Status", and "Rapid Re-Housing". It allows homeless clients to be placed in temporary housing while their eligibility is determined. It authorizes the Mayor to require clients to contribute to savings accounts. It also allows clients to be discharged from services if they relocate, abandon their unit, or complete the program length.
This document amends the Homeless Services Reform Amendment Act of 2005 to:
1. Clarify the criteria for demonstrating District residency when seeking severe weather shelter.
2. Require individuals and families seeking severe weather shelter to be District residents, excluding victims of domestic abuse.
3. Authorize the Mayor to place families in non-apartment severe weather shelters when no apartment shelters are available.

The document outlines Washington D.C.'s 10-year plan called "Homeless No More" to end homelessness in the city by 2014. The plan was developed through extensive consultation with stakeholders and aims to prevent homelessness, increase affordable housing, and integrate homeless services with mainstream support systems. It presents a vision of ending chronic homelessness and making temporary homelessness brief and non-recurring through new policies, facilities, and coordination of housing, social services, and government agencies.

Executive Summary of The Ending Homelessness Act of 2016Street Sense Media
The Ending Homelessness Act of 2016 would appropriate $13.27 billion over 5 years to provide emergency relief funding to address homelessness. The bill would fund McKinney-Vento homeless assistance grants to provide 85,000 new housing units and eliminate chronic homelessness. It would also provide 295,000-300,000 new housing vouchers and create 25,000 new affordable rental units. The bill aims to implement a holistic strategy with funding for outreach, case management, and technical assistance to align healthcare and housing strategies. It would permanently authorize McKinney-Vento and the Interagency Council on Homelessness.
