Join Advocates for Ohio's Future for a webinar about Ohio's $5.36 billion allocation of State Fiscal Recovery Funds from the American Rescue Plan Act. Since these recovery funds were announced on both the state and local levels, we've seen many local governments reach out to their residents to identify and prioritize the needs of their communities through an open, public, transparent process before deciding on an investment/recovery plan.

In June, Governor DeWine and the General Assembly spent more than two-thirds of Ohio’s first payment of $2.7 billion. They did this with no opportunity for public input. With $850 million remaining of the first payment and $2.7 billion more yet to come, Ohio needs to have a robust state recovery plan. Since there are no plans from the Administration or the General Assembly to hold hearings, we thought we would have one of our own.

AOF members have a lot to say on what everyday Ohioans need for health and economic recovery. Our friends from:
-Ohio Association of Foodbanks
-Children's Defense Fund Ohio
-Ohio Poverty Law Center
-Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio
-Enterprise Community Partners
-The Ohio Council of Behavioral Health and Family Services Providers
-Ohio Council for Home Care & Hospice

...will share their priorities, why investments in their proposal is needed and what impact they will have for the populations they serve. We hope you will join us!
