The Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) announces $56 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding to enhance Ohio's Developmental Disability Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS). This one-time funding will support projects in areas such as support for individuals and families, workforce, innovative technology, youth with complex needs, and waiver modernization. Projects aim to improve community integration, independence, and quality of life for Ohioans with developmental disabilities.

Stark County native and activist Craig Covey has dedicated his life to advocating for marginalized communities. Now, he’s awarding non-discrimination grants to local organizations as a way to continue to support racial, cultural and sexual minorities in our community. Through the recently established Craig Covey LGBT and Diversity Pride Fund at Stark Community Foundation, he plans to award $5,000 to Stark County nonprofits that have or plan to adopt non-discrimination clauses in their staff, board, volunteer and program policies. “A community that recognizes and embraces the diversity of its people is a stronger and more attractive and interesting community. Inclusion at the table has always been the American way,” said Covey.
