SAVE THE SAFETY NET
SAVE THE SAFETY NET: FrontLine Service needs your help!
Sample Email/Script for contacting Cuyahoga County Council in regard to funding cuts to FrontLine Service in the 2026-2027 budget.
Dear Representative [insert last name of your councilmember],
My name is [insert your name] and I am a constituent of your district and a concerned resident. I am the [describe your role/involvement with FrontLine and why FrontLine’s work matters to you].
I am writing to ask that you restore full funding to FrontLine Service's North Point transitional housing program and the ADAMHS board crisis response programs in the 2026-2027 budget. The North Point transitional housing program is a bridge from crisis to stability and is in strategic alignment with the County's five homelessness priorities.
The ADAMHS board funding cuts will result in a $1M funding loss to FrontLine Service's core programs which are crucial to the County's crisis response systems. FrontLine Service responds 24/7 when residents are in crisis, preventing hospitalization, incarceration, and homeless. The ADAMHS board funding cuts will directly impact this safety net that serves our County's vulnerable and historically marginalized residents.
I urge you to reject these two funding cuts (North Point transitional housing and ADAMHS board) in the proposed 2026-2027 budget to ensure stability, safety, and opportunity for those who are ready to rebuild their lives.
Thank you,
[your name]
