The newly announced cuts will disrupt or dismantle a wide range of area programs, from a food and clothing distribution program at the May Dugan Center ($16,000) to a Step Up to Quality (SUTQ) Early Childcare Professional Development Program at Starting Point ($145,000). The plurality of programs currently receive funding in the range of $50,000 to $80,000 per year. But 10 individual programs — including two at the Centers for Families and Children; workforce development programs at Lutheran Metropolitan Ministries and Towards Employment; financial stability programs at CHN Housing Partners and the Legal Aid Society of Greater Cleveland; the Earned Income Tax Credit Coalition at Enterprise Community Partners; a housing stability program at EDEN; and a vocational rehabilitation training program at Vocational Guidance Services — all currently receive annual funding above $100,000.
(Note: Sam Allard's wife works at Towards Employment)
Thank you for this announcement and the suspicions raised about the Unify Project, now Unify Labs - run by Sharon Sobol Jordan, and financed by United Way, while she served on United Way's Board of Directors.
One of Sharon's acolytes, Richey Piiparinen, worked for the bogus Unify Labs for a minute - he left pretty quickly - he now sounds the alarm:

Yes, Richey, we have a BIG problem -the charlatans running this region.
Upside of COVID 19 -dismantle United Way's NGO nightmare
Over paid NGO leadership - just a few : Centers Ohio, CHN Partners, Eden - look at the duplication over multiple agencies. Stop the fraud with outfits like the Unify Project. Cleveland Foundation - you need to do a serious evaluation of your priorities like building headquarters next to Dunham Museum.
