OUCAN is proud to partner in the Economic Mobility Alliance Ohio and cohost it’s first Advocacy Day on Wednesday, March 19.
EMAO, formed last summer, is a collaborative dedicated to raising awareness and creating positive solutions to mitigate and eliminate benefits cliffs from public assistance programs and create a more seamless pathway to economic stability for all Ohioans.
EMAO’s 2025 Budget and Policy Priorities are:
1. Creation of a refundable state Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
2. Expansion of eligibility for publicly funded child care up to 200% of the federal poverty level.
3. Continuation and expansion of the Benefit Bridge Pilot Program
Register for Economic Mobility Advocacy Day to join us for a day of coordinated legislative meetings.
Join us for pre-training on Feb. 27 or March 6 from 2 to 3 p.m.
