DOGE Cuts Hit Nonprofits in Cincinnati: ‘It’s Just Going to Make It a Lot Harder’
DOGE cuts to AmeriCorps, a federal agency for national service and volunteerism, is leading to job cuts at nonprofits in the Cincinnati area, reports WCPO-Channel 9:
WCPO, through council member Meeka Owens, learned organizations like Seven Hills Neighborhood Houses, Lighthouse Youth Services, Catholic Charities and more have lost corps members to cuts.
“These nonprofit organizations that are doing this work on the frontlines that cities, quite frankly, don’t have the capacity to do,” Owens said.
Owens told us the city had one employee working in historical designations who was let go, while the United Way of Greater Cincinnati had 11.
One organization that WCPO spoke to directly is The Mill Creek Alliance, a nonprofit that works to restore and maintain a stream of water that flows through the heart of Cincinnati.
