Local organizations revamp approaches to youth homelessness
In 2021, a teen girl living in the Port Clinton area walked nearly 40 miles to Safety Net, the only youth shelter in a 120-mile radius. She had been living on the streets and sleeping in abandoned buildings when she saw a news story about Safety Net, said Linda Nordahl, the chief integration officer at Zepf Center who oversees Safety Net. The girl walked all the way to Toledo to seek safety. This teen’s story is a testament to the critical state of youth homelessness in Ohio. In an effort to improve their responses to youth homelessness, the Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio and the Toledo Lucas County Homelessness Board applied for a federal grant and received $2 million in June.
United States projected to follow Ohio in population declines
BOWLING GREEN — While Ohio saw a small 0.22 percent increase in population from 2022 to 2023, long-term projections expect a continuation of a decades-long trend in declining numbers, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The state is still seeing a loss of 13,300 residents since pre-pandemic levels. The state of Ohio Population Projections Report 2023 points to the aging of the population, declining fertility rates, and stagnant migration patterns. It projects a 5.7 percent decline by 2050, or a drop in the population by 675,000 people. Citizenry in the state already has declined by 10 percent in the decade from 2010 to 2020, according to the report. “Ohio mirrors the rest of the country, traditionally,” said Wendy Diane Manning, a sociologist at Bowling Green State University, noting that the nation's decline in its fertility rate mimics what is happening in Ohio. Nationally, deaths are expected to outpace births sometime from 2038 to 2042, according to census projections. International immigration will be an important factor in maintaining population. Ohio saw a net gain of 60,000 immigrants, domestically and internationally combined, from 2010 to 2020. It was the first decade of net positive gain in immigration to Ohio since the 1950s.
What is a resolution? What is a proclamation? And what do they actually do?
Cincinnati City Council passed six resolutions last month, all in honor of Pride Month.
