The Ohio Senate is proposing an 81% cut to Healthy Beginnings at Home, a research project testing the impact of providing rental assistance with housing stabilization services to pregnant women, who are living in highly unstable housing, and are at greater risk of infant mortality.
Women with children are the most likely to face eviction in Cuyahoga County, and it is through this process, they may find themselves in LMM’s family overflow shelter. It is of utmost importance that the state continues to take action to ensure moms, and mom’s to-be have the resources they need to care for themselves and their children.
Reach out to your legislators today to let them know the Ohio Senate’s cut to Healthy Beginnings at Home jeopardizes the effort to demonstrate how housing interventions can save babies’ lives and reduce Medicaid spending:
