HSAN: Approaching The 2024-2025 Cuyahoga County Budget Recap

August 29 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

Hey Cuyahoga County! It’s budget season and elected officials will soon be making decisions to decide spending on the $1.6 billion county budget.

* What are the policy priorities of the administration?

* What are the priorities of the county council?

* What impact will the county feel with the expiration of pandemic-era funding, as well as the passage of the latest state budget, on health and human services?

Join The Center for Community Solutions as we host the next meeting of the Human Services Advocacy Network, presented in partnership with Cuyahoga Community College. The event will open with remarks from new County Executive Chris Ronayne and the current Vice President of Cuyahoga Council, Cheryl Stephens, followed by a panel discussion to discuss the upcoming budget and its impact on the lives and future of Cuyahoga County residents. 

All are welcome, but capacity is limited and registration is required.

Watch On-demand!
