2009 State Budget Impact Survey
On July 17, 2009, Governor Ted Strickland signed the 2010/2011 State budget which will significantly reduce funding and eliminate program services for Ohio’s most vulnerable citizens. The Campaign to Protect Ohio’s Future believes that surveillance and documenting the impact of these cuts are critical to any and all future budget discussions. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey and share how these budget cuts are impacting the ability of your organization to provide needed services. Please complete the following short questionnaire by September 15, 2009. Thank you in advance for your participation!

Message from the Campaign Co-Chair’s
The Campaign to Protect Ohio’s Future needs your help to document the devastating effects of state cuts on services for Ohio’s citizens and on the agencies that provide those services. We recognize that with increasing needs and decreasing resources, it is even more difficult to take on another task. However, it is critical that human service providers – both public and private - document what is happening as a result of state budget cuts. We will use this information to educate the public and elected leaders to help restore funds badly needed in our communities. Please take a moment and share with us what your organization is experiencing.
The Campaign to Protect Ohio's Future is a coalition of health, human services, primary and secondary education and higher education organizations seeking to protect Ohio's most vulnerable citizens by restoring or adequately funding vital services through a responsible budget that has - as its primary priority - to meet basic human needs (food, shelter, clothing and medical care) and provide a safety net for the most vulnerable Ohioans. A responsible human services budget should ensure opportunity for low-income Ohioans to achieve self-sufficiency through education, training, work, and supportive services.
