SUMMARY:Housing Affordability in Northeast Ohio
DESCRIPTION:As rent\, housing\, and property taxes continue to increase across Northeast Ohio\, many community members already living paycheck-to-paycheck\, are finding it more difficult to make ends meet\, leading to a potential increase in housing instability and homelessness. \nModerator Abigail Bottar of Ideastream Public Media will lead panelists Ayonna Blue Donald\, Vice President of the Ohio market at Enterprise Community Partners\, Dawn Farrell\, Executive Director of the Geauga Metropolitan Housing Authority\, Sara Parks Jackson\, Director of Cuyahoga County’s Department of Housing and Community Development\, and Aaron Pechota\, Executive Vice President of Development with The NRP Group\, in a discussion on housing affordability in Northeast Ohio\, the current number and availability of rental properties\, available programs that help address housing affordability\, and programmatic and policy recommendations to increase affordable housing options in Northeast Ohio. \nAccording to United Way’s 2023 Community Needs Assessment\, over 30 percent of households in Cuyahoga County spend almost one-third of their income on housing\, and nearly 40 percent of renters face unaffordable housing. The situation is worse for households led by single females who rent\, as 56 percent face housing unaffordability\, making them the most affected group. \nIn Geauga County\, housing affordability is particularly challenging for renters as only 49 percent of older adults who rent have affordable housing. For households led by single females who rent\, only 44 percent have access to affordable rental housing. \nJoin the live conversation on September 10 at noon via Zoom. The event is free\, but registration is required. \nClick here to reserve your seat!

SUMMARY:Vital Community Helplines: 211\, 311\, 911 and 988

SUMMARY:Imagining a New Path to Prosperity in Cleveland: Universal Basic Employment
DESCRIPTION:Numerous government programs are designed to assist the most vulnerable members of our community\, but according to United Way’s 2023 Community Needs Assessment\, Cleveland remains the second poorest large city in the United States and approximately 207\,000 individuals live below the poverty level in Cuyahoga County. \nUniversal Basic Employment is developing an innovative pilot program to address those gaps through a jobs guarantee model that creates sustainable wage jobs by investing in people\, neighborhoods\, and businesses. The program aims to demonstrate that a jobs guarantee policy will empower participants to create social and financial capital while providing businesses with the skilled workers needed to succeed. \nJoin our panelists as they discuss the pilot program’s purpose\, background\, and development; the impact and lessons learned from previous employment subsidy programs; and what can be discovered in the program’s outcomes\, including its impact on racial economic equity. \nWhile the virtual event is free\, registration is required. \nPanelists:\nDevin Cotten\, Founder and CEO\, Universal Basic Employment\nEmily Campbell\, President and CEO\, The Center for Community Solutions \nModerator:\nAbbey Marshall\, Government Reporter\, Ideastream Public Media \nClick Here to Reserve Your Seat Today!

SUMMARY:The Social Impact of Utility Debt
DESCRIPTION:United Way of Greater Cleveland will host a Community Conversation on The Social Impact of Utility Debt on September 14. \nThe live panel discussion will be presented via Zoom beginning at 12 p.m. While the event is free\, registration is required. \nThousands of households in the Greater Cleveland area and throughout Ohio are unable to afford their basic household utility costs such as electric\, gas\, heating oil\, water\, and sewer charges. One in five Cleveland Water Department customers are at least one month behind on their water bill\, and more than 270\,000 Ohioans had their gas or electric services shut off due to nonpayment. \nAccording to a recent article in Health Affairs\, low-income households and those comprising Black\, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) are disproportionately affected by utility affordability. Several factors exacerbate these issues\, including low-quality housing conditions; inflation; dated\, malfunctioning\, or nonexistent heating and cooling equipment; poor insulation and drafts; and reliance on older\, less efficient appliances. \nA panel of experts from Greater Cleveland will discuss the utility needs of renters and homeowners\, ways housing quality impacts utility affordability\, utility costs and impact on health\, and ways utility assistance programs help address utility affordability. \nPanelists \nGenevieve Birkby\, Program Manager\, Rainbow Connects\, University Hospitals Rainbow Center for Women & Children\nDr. Jacklyn A. Chisholm\, President and CEO\, Step Forward\nTonja Stewart Shaw\, Senior Outreach and Education Program Specialist\, Ohio Consumers’ Counsel \nModerator \nStephen Langel\, Health Care Reporter/Producer\, Ideastream Public Media \nClick Here to Reserve Your Seat Today!
