- Preserving Investments Made in Early Care and Education – Helping children enter school ready to learn is critical to their long-term success. The budget preserves funding in the Department of Education for Early Childhood Education (formerly public preschool) for 5,700 children. The budget maintains some funding for Ohio’s Step Up to Quality program that works to improve the quality of Ohio’s early care and education programs. Funding for the Help Me Grow program was reduced by $3 million each year. We applaud the administration for continuing work begun in the Strickland administration to refinance this program through Medicaid. Refinancing portions of this program will mitigate General Revenue Fund (GRF) reductions. The Governor’s focus on prenatal care is a common-sense method of promoting healthier children and mothers, and it saves money in the system. Lowering the number of low-birth-weight babies – whose care costs six times more than that of healthy babies – will have positive effects down the line, reducing the need for early intervention, special education in school, and more. Preservation of the Ohio Housing Trust Fund, TANF Cash Assistance, and emergency food assistance represents more good news in the budget. DYSBoth the RECLAIM program and Youth Services Subsidy line items are funded at FY 2011 levels in both years of the bienniumContinuation of funding for Juvenile Justice Behavioral Health ProgramsOne more Juvenile Detention Center closed
- Ohio’s Area Agencies on Aging are pleased that Governor Kasich’s budget embraces a Unified Long-term Care Budget, a policy long endorsed by the aging network, to help more people stay in their own homes and reduce what taxpayers spend on Medicaid.
