The Cuyahoga County Council is the legislative body of Cuyahoga County government, made up of 11 elected representatives from across the County.
They have recently received updates from Cuyahoga County Children and Family Services regarding their proposed solutions to ongoing issues at the Jane Edna Hunter building. Their proposed changes include: pay raises, issuing a “no eject or reject” RFP, assigning a sheriff’s deputy to the building full-time, and considering reinstating the Metzenbaum Center back into a residential drop-off site.
OHIO YAB Ambassador Regine Turner has been at the forefront of this issue for years. She participated in the protest on July 7, 2020, as referenced in the article: Demonstrators call for end to housing kids in county office building. Regine and others carried signs that said:
- Where did you sleep last night???
- A building is not a home
OHIO YAB Ambassador Regine Turner has suggested that those with “lived experience” create their own list of recommendations to share with the Cuyahoga County Council.
Virtual meetings were held this month to further work on a list of recommendations to share with the Cuyahoga County Council, prior to their next meeting:
Committee of the Whole Meeting
Event date: 9/22/2022-10:00 AM
