IMPACT ON PENNSYLVANIANS

WHO IS IMPACTED

People previously in state Mental Health hospitals

People with intellectual disabilities and their families

Abused and neglected childrenHomeless individuals and familiesPeople with serious physical

disabilities

UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCESCOSTS

Mental Health Cuts = hospitalization incarceration institutionalization

Intellectual Disabilities Cuts = hospitalization out-of-home placements state institutionalization

Child Welfare Cuts = child welfare and juvenile court placements

Homeless Assistance Cuts = more street homeless

HSDF Assistance Cuts for people with physical disabilities = more assistive living

Drug and Alcohol Cuts = higher criminal activity to maintain addiction more hospitalization costs more jail and criminal justice costs

LACKAWANNA COUNTY IMPACT

For the second year in a row our shelter has turned away more battered women and their children they we were able to house due to lack of beds

Budget cuts have impacted employment training resulting in fewer clients being served

Serving more homeless a meal and more people sleeping outside

STATEWIDE IMPACT

- In the first 5 months of the operating year we have turned away 273 unduplicated requests for emergency shelter services

- When the funds run out 2-3 months prior to the end of our fiscal year there will be many families and domestic violence clients that will be living on the streets in unsafe

STATEWIDE IMPACT

A nurse is only at the center 16 hour per week vs 40 hours

The child care we are able to provide has declinedand that puts a burden on the mother when she has appt or needs to go to work

A family of 5 would receive enough groceries to last a week Now they receive enough groceries to last 3 - 4 days

Clients continue to face foreclosure and we are unable to assist them in any capacity

UNITED WAY BUDGET PRINCIPLES

To the greatest extent possible avoid significant cuts to benefits and services to our most vulnerable Pennsylvanians poor individuals and families pregnant women and young children low income elderly individuals with disabilities and veterans

Protect funding for prevention services that save more expensive interventions later on

Consider the statersquos existing investment in successful programs such as industry partnerships which combine public and private money to keep Pennsylvania business competitive while enhancing training and career pathway opportunities for Pennsylvaniarsquos workforce

UNITED WAY BUDGET PRINCIPLES

Utilize completed evaluations or other measurements to determine where to make cuts

Consider ways in which the state can more efficiently and effectively deliver services such as by reducing the vast array of state 800 numbers particularly those that are contracted with out of state providers and supporting those services with 2-1-1

Consistent with commitment to an on-time budget provide budget language to ensure that local governments and providers receive timely allocations and direction from the Commonwealth so that there is a predictable and stable cycle of services provision

Protect funding for prevention services that save more expensive interventions later on

Consider the statersquos existing investment in successful programs such as industry partnerships which combine public and private money to keep Pennsylvania business competitive while enhancing training and career pathway opportunities for Pennsylvaniarsquos workforce

UNITED WAY BUDGET PRINCIPLES

Utilize completed evaluations or other measurements to determine where to make cuts

Consider ways in which the state can more efficiently and effectively deliver services such as by reducing the vast array of state 800 numbers particularly those that are contracted with out of state providers and supporting those services with 2-1-1

Consistent with commitment to an on-time budget provide budget language to ensure that local governments and providers receive timely allocations and direction from the Commonwealth so that there is a predictable and stable cycle of services provision

For the second year in a row our shelter has turned away more battered women and their children they we were able to house due to lack of beds

Budget cuts have impacted employment training resulting in fewer clients being served

Serving more homeless a meal and more people sleeping outside

STATEWIDE IMPACT

- In the first 5 months of the operating year we have turned away 273 unduplicated requests for emergency shelter services

- When the funds run out 2-3 months prior to the end of our fiscal year there will be many families and domestic violence clients that will be living on the streets in unsafe

STATEWIDE IMPACT

A nurse is only at the center 16 hour per week vs 40 hours

The child care we are able to provide has declinedand that puts a burden on the mother when she has appt or needs to go to work

A family of 5 would receive enough groceries to last a week Now they receive enough groceries to last 3 - 4 days

Clients continue to face foreclosure and we are unable to assist them in any capacity

UNITED WAY BUDGET PRINCIPLES

To the greatest extent possible avoid significant cuts to benefits and services to our most vulnerable Pennsylvanians poor individuals and families pregnant women and young children low income elderly individuals with disabilities and veterans

IMPACT ON PENNSYLVANIANS

WHO IS IMPACTED

People previously in state Mental Health hospitals

People with intellectual disabilities and their families

Abused and neglected childrenHomeless individuals and familiesPeople with serious physical

disabilities

UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCESCOSTS

Mental Health Cuts = hospitalization incarceration institutionalization

Intellectual Disabilities Cuts = hospitalization out-of-home placements state institutionalization

Child Welfare Cuts = child welfare and juvenile court placements

Homeless Assistance Cuts = more street homeless

HSDF Assistance Cuts for people with physical disabilities = more assistive living

Drug and Alcohol Cuts = higher criminal activity to maintain addiction more hospitalization costs more jail and criminal justice costs

LACKAWANNA COUNTY IMPACT

For the second year in a row our shelter has turned away more battered women and their children they we were able to house due to lack of beds

Budget cuts have impacted employment training resulting in fewer clients being served

Serving more homeless a meal and more people sleeping outside

STATEWIDE IMPACT

- In the first 5 months of the operating year we have turned away 273 unduplicated requests for emergency shelter services

- When the funds run out 2-3 months prior to the end of our fiscal year there will be many families and domestic violence clients that will be living on the streets in unsafe

STATEWIDE IMPACT

A nurse is only at the center 16 hour per week vs 40 hours

The child care we are able to provide has declinedand that puts a burden on the mother when she has appt or needs to go to work

A family of 5 would receive enough groceries to last a week Now they receive enough groceries to last 3 - 4 days

Clients continue to face foreclosure and we are unable to assist them in any capacity

UNITED WAY BUDGET PRINCIPLES

To the greatest extent possible avoid significant cuts to benefits and services to our most vulnerable Pennsylvanians poor individuals and families pregnant women and young children low income elderly individuals with disabilities and veterans

Protect funding for prevention services that save more expensive interventions later on

Consider the statersquos existing investment in successful programs such as industry partnerships which combine public and private money to keep Pennsylvania business competitive while enhancing training and career pathway opportunities for Pennsylvaniarsquos workforce

UNITED WAY BUDGET PRINCIPLES

Utilize completed evaluations or other measurements to determine where to make cuts

Consider ways in which the state can more efficiently and effectively deliver services such as by reducing the vast array of state 800 numbers particularly those that are contracted with out of state providers and supporting those services with 2-1-1

Consistent with commitment to an on-time budget provide budget language to ensure that local governments and providers receive timely allocations and direction from the Commonwealth so that there is a predictable and stable cycle of services provision

IMPACT ON PENNSYLVANIANS

WHO IS IMPACTED

People previously in state Mental Health hospitals

People with intellectual disabilities and their families

Abused and neglected childrenHomeless individuals and familiesPeople with serious physical

disabilities

UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCESCOSTS

Mental Health Cuts = hospitalization incarceration institutionalization

Intellectual Disabilities Cuts = hospitalization out-of-home placements state institutionalization

Child Welfare Cuts = child welfare and juvenile court placements

Homeless Assistance Cuts = more street homeless

HSDF Assistance Cuts for people with physical disabilities = more assistive living

Drug and Alcohol Cuts = higher criminal activity to maintain addiction more hospitalization costs more jail and criminal justice costs

LACKAWANNA COUNTY IMPACT

For the second year in a row our shelter has turned away more battered women and their children they we were able to house due to lack of beds

Budget cuts have impacted employment training resulting in fewer clients being served

Serving more homeless a meal and more people sleeping outside

STATEWIDE IMPACT

- In the first 5 months of the operating year we have turned away 273 unduplicated requests for emergency shelter services

- When the funds run out 2-3 months prior to the end of our fiscal year there will be many families and domestic violence clients that will be living on the streets in unsafe

STATEWIDE IMPACT

A nurse is only at the center 16 hour per week vs 40 hours

The child care we are able to provide has declinedand that puts a burden on the mother when she has appt or needs to go to work

A family of 5 would receive enough groceries to last a week Now they receive enough groceries to last 3 - 4 days

Clients continue to face foreclosure and we are unable to assist them in any capacity

UNITED WAY BUDGET PRINCIPLES

To the greatest extent possible avoid significant cuts to benefits and services to our most vulnerable Pennsylvanians poor individuals and families pregnant women and young children low income elderly individuals with disabilities and veterans

Protect funding for prevention services that save more expensive interventions later on

Consider the statersquos existing investment in successful programs such as industry partnerships which combine public and private money to keep Pennsylvania business competitive while enhancing training and career pathway opportunities for Pennsylvaniarsquos workforce

UNITED WAY BUDGET PRINCIPLES

Utilize completed evaluations or other measurements to determine where to make cuts

Consider ways in which the state can more efficiently and effectively deliver services such as by reducing the vast array of state 800 numbers particularly those that are contracted with out of state providers and supporting those services with 2-1-1

Consistent with commitment to an on-time budget provide budget language to ensure that local governments and providers receive timely allocations and direction from the Commonwealth so that there is a predictable and stable cycle of services provision

For the second year in a row our shelter has turned away more battered women and their children they we were able to house due to lack of beds

Budget cuts have impacted employment training resulting in fewer clients being served

Serving more homeless a meal and more people sleeping outside

- When the funds run out 2-3 months prior to the end of our fiscal year there will be many families and domestic violence clients that will be living on the streets in unsafe

STATEWIDE IMPACT

A nurse is only at the center 16 hour per week vs 40 hours

The child care we are able to provide has declinedand that puts a burden on the mother when she has appt or needs to go to work

A family of 5 would receive enough groceries to last a week Now they receive enough groceries to last 3 - 4 days

UNITED WAY BUDGET PRINCIPLES

To the greatest extent possible avoid significant cuts to benefits and services to our most vulnerable Pennsylvanians poor individuals and families pregnant women and young children low income elderly individuals with disabilities and veterans

Protect funding for prevention services that save more expensive interventions later on

UNITED WAY BUDGET PRINCIPLES

Utilize completed evaluations or other measurements to determine where to make cuts

Consider ways in which the state can more efficiently and effectively deliver services such as by reducing the vast array of state 800 numbers particularly those that are contracted with out of state providers and supporting those services with 2-1-1

Consistent with commitment to an on-time budget provide budget language to ensure that local governments and providers receive timely allocations and direction from the Commonwealth so that there is a predictable and stable cycle of services provision

IMPACT ON PENNSYLVANIANS

WHO IS IMPACTED

People previously in state Mental Health hospitals

People with intellectual disabilities and their families

Abused and neglected childrenHomeless individuals and familiesPeople with serious physical

disabilities

UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCESCOSTS

Mental Health Cuts = hospitalization incarceration institutionalization

Intellectual Disabilities Cuts = hospitalization out-of-home placements state institutionalization

Child Welfare Cuts = child welfare and juvenile court placements

Homeless Assistance Cuts = more street homeless

HSDF Assistance Cuts for people with physical disabilities = more assistive living

Drug and Alcohol Cuts = higher criminal activity to maintain addiction more hospitalization costs more jail and criminal justice costs

LACKAWANNA COUNTY IMPACT

For the second year in a row our shelter has turned away more battered women and their children they we were able to house due to lack of beds

Budget cuts have impacted employment training resulting in fewer clients being served

Serving more homeless a meal and more people sleeping outside

STATEWIDE IMPACT

- In the first 5 months of the operating year we have turned away 273 unduplicated requests for emergency shelter services

- When the funds run out 2-3 months prior to the end of our fiscal year there will be many families and domestic violence clients that will be living on the streets in unsafe

STATEWIDE IMPACT

A nurse is only at the center 16 hour per week vs 40 hours

The child care we are able to provide has declinedand that puts a burden on the mother when she has appt or needs to go to work

A family of 5 would receive enough groceries to last a week Now they receive enough groceries to last 3 - 4 days

Clients continue to face foreclosure and we are unable to assist them in any capacity

UNITED WAY BUDGET PRINCIPLES

To the greatest extent possible avoid significant cuts to benefits and services to our most vulnerable Pennsylvanians poor individuals and families pregnant women and young children low income elderly individuals with disabilities and veterans

Protect funding for prevention services that save more expensive interventions later on

Consider the statersquos existing investment in successful programs such as industry partnerships which combine public and private money to keep Pennsylvania business competitive while enhancing training and career pathway opportunities for Pennsylvaniarsquos workforce

UNITED WAY BUDGET PRINCIPLES

Utilize completed evaluations or other measurements to determine where to make cuts

Consider ways in which the state can more efficiently and effectively deliver services such as by reducing the vast array of state 800 numbers particularly those that are contracted with out of state providers and supporting those services with 2-1-1

Consistent with commitment to an on-time budget provide budget language to ensure that local governments and providers receive timely allocations and direction from the Commonwealth so that there is a predictable and stable cycle of services provision

Intellectual Disabilities Cuts = hospitalization out-of-home placements state institutionalization

Child Welfare Cuts = child welfare and juvenile court placements

Homeless Assistance Cuts = more street homeless

HSDF Assistance Cuts for people with physical disabilities = more assistive living

Drug and Alcohol Cuts = higher criminal activity to maintain addiction more hospitalization costs more jail and criminal justice costs

LACKAWANNA COUNTY IMPACT

For the second year in a row our shelter has turned away more battered women and their children they we were able to house due to lack of beds

Budget cuts have impacted employment training resulting in fewer clients being served

Serving more homeless a meal and more people sleeping outside

STATEWIDE IMPACT

- In the first 5 months of the operating year we have turned away 273 unduplicated requests for emergency shelter services

- When the funds run out 2-3 months prior to the end of our fiscal year there will be many families and domestic violence clients that will be living on the streets in unsafe

STATEWIDE IMPACT

A nurse is only at the center 16 hour per week vs 40 hours

The child care we are able to provide has declinedand that puts a burden on the mother when she has appt or needs to go to work

A family of 5 would receive enough groceries to last a week Now they receive enough groceries to last 3 - 4 days

Clients continue to face foreclosure and we are unable to assist them in any capacity

UNITED WAY BUDGET PRINCIPLES

To the greatest extent possible avoid significant cuts to benefits and services to our most vulnerable Pennsylvanians poor individuals and families pregnant women and young children low income elderly individuals with disabilities and veterans

Protect funding for prevention services that save more expensive interventions later on

Consider the statersquos existing investment in successful programs such as industry partnerships which combine public and private money to keep Pennsylvania business competitive while enhancing training and career pathway opportunities for Pennsylvaniarsquos workforce

UNITED WAY BUDGET PRINCIPLES

Utilize completed evaluations or other measurements to determine where to make cuts

Consider ways in which the state can more efficiently and effectively deliver services such as by reducing the vast array of state 800 numbers particularly those that are contracted with out of state providers and supporting those services with 2-1-1

Consistent with commitment to an on-time budget provide budget language to ensure that local governments and providers receive timely allocations and direction from the Commonwealth so that there is a predictable and stable cycle of services provision
