Welfare cuts hit Lorain County amid state budget squeeze
Ohio will end General Assistance for about 137000 residents this week including 1300 to 1500 in Lorain County who have received 100 dollars monthly and limited medical coverage since October. Six months of benefits will end with no further aid for six months, straining shelters, soup kitchens and hospitals already at capacity. Assistant director Joseph DeTillio cites the large impact, noting Haven shelter turns away 14 to 17 people weekly as Genesis House also faces strain.
