The Center for Community Solutions is pleased to share its priorities for the 2026-27 State Operating Budget. As we await the formal introduction of the 2026-2027 state operating budget from Governor DeWine in early February, we reflected on the work of the executive and legislative branches over the last several years and have included below priorities that build upon this work done to date.

These priorities span health and human services and at their core are focused on improving the health, social and economic conditions of Ohioans. We look forward to engaging with our partners and the executive and legislative branches of state government to educate on, elevate and advance these goals over the next several months and years.

Improve coordination, efficiency and access across public benefits, including Medicaid, SNAP, TANF and WIC.

  • Support for county JFS offices
  • Improve the self-service portal

What we’ve written:

Support tax policies that center the realities of families as they juggle working, caretaking and making ends meet.

What we’ve written:

 Advocate for solutions to health and human services issues that address the needs of Ohioans of every age.

Families come in all shapes and sizes, and we must consider the needs of family members across the life span, from young adults to working-age parents struggling to older Ohioans.
