How Has Your Agency Been Affected by the Sequester?

Policy Matters Wants to Hear About it

  

Policy Matters Ohio, a not for profit, non-partisan research organization, is working to understand and document the impact of the federal sequester on the lives of Ohioans. Community Action Agencies, leading providers of social services, are on the front lines of understanding the impact and describing the outcomes. Click here to take a very brief survey asking a few simple questions about the impact of the federal sequester in your area and among the clients you serve.

The results are entirely confidential - we ask for your name and organization to verify response, but will not release the information of individual agencies," explained Wendy Patton, senior project director at Policy Matters Ohio.
