On January 29, the White House rescinded the Office of Management and Budget’s January 27 memo on the “Temporary Pause of Federal Agency Grant, Loan, And Financial Assistance Programs.” The memo had raised concerns about the availability of committed federal funds for programs serving our region.
The White House clarified that while the memo has been rescinded, the previous Executive Orders requiring a review of current federal program budgets are still in place, and agencies are conducting those reviews.
Based on our continued conversations with state and federal partners, it is our understanding that Buckeye Hills Regional Council’s programs and services will be largely unaffected. At this time, we do not anticipate any service interruptions.
We appreciate your patience as we worked to clarify these developments. We understand the uncertainty these events caused for our partners and providers. If you still have specific questions about a particular program or service, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our staff.
