Women centers feel economic pinch from federal cutbacks
WomenSpace in Cleveland faces service reductions as CETA funding dries up, forcing more volunteers and private fundraising. The center, a coalition of groups from Hard-Hatted Women to WISE, runs a helpline and programs on employment, housing, and alcohol awareness, while broader centers struggle nationwide. Local Genesis House trims 10 percent of federal funding, relying on United Way and license fees to stay afloat.
