Editor’s note: This is the fourth in a series of stories examining the impact of state budget cuts on public health agencies serving the Allen County area.

 

Hope Unlimited’s board worked throughout 2009 to make the most of each dollar.

“In today’s economy we’ve scrimped and saved and stretched each dollar to its breaking point. Our grant money is contingent on the state budget. When the state’s budget declines” it’s a direct hit to the agency, said Dorothy Sparks, Hope Unlimited’s director.

Sparks has received word that one grant may be cut as much as 4 percent. That $4,000 to $5,000 is used to support the shelter and assist with outreach crisis services. Another grant may be cut $1,000, money used to support the Child Advocacy Center.
