Subject: Announcing YWCA Hotline Changes
As you may already know, Montgomery County has decided to defund YWCA Dayton’s 24/7 crisis hotline. Many of you probably have questions as to what this means for our delivery of services and the greater community safety net.
Our resolve to provide the best care for women and children in crisis is stronger than ever. Here’s what you can expect from YWCA Dayton as we continue through 2017 and beyond:
- As long as women are in imminent danger, our emergency shelter and 24/7 hotline – 937-222-SAFE – will be there for the 4,000+ crisis calls received each year. 100% of our staff are trained specifically in trauma-informed care, domestic violence, and hotline delivery.
- We continue to apply national best practices and align ourselves with YWCA. YWCA Dayton is the only domestic violence services site in Montgomery County (and one of only 61 nationwide) to receive approval for such services from the Council on Accreditation.
- We’ve invested in our clients with state-of-the-art IT hardware, software, and call center metrics so our crisis support specialists can record their work at the point of service and connect those efforts to improve client outcomes.
- We remain steadfast in our commitment to meet women’s needs at the intersections of race, gender, poverty, and systemic gaps. Our expanded services for victims of sexual assault include dedicated staff for crisis response and community education, particularly for communities of color.
Finally, we are launching the first full-scale renovation in more than 56 years of our historic downtown Dayton headquarters. Our Renovating Lives: Floor by Floor Capital Campaign has secured $14.1 million to transform our core spaces – those that shelter and house our community’s most vulnerable populations – into areas that radiate the peace, dignity, and security these women and children so deserve.
YWCA is the oldest and largest multiracial women’s organization in the world; it is also the largest provider of domestic violence services in the U.S. This makes YWCA Dayton uniquely positioned to serve women experiencing multiple forms of intimate violence.
YWCA Dayton is on a mission. For nearly 150 years, we have been — and will continue to be — leaders for women’s empowerment, safety, and success. On behalf of the thousands of women and children we serve each year, thank you for supporting the critical work we do.

Subject: FW: The Ombudsman Office Weekly Update 6-30-2017
Please find attached a position description for an Ombudsman in our Long-Term Care Program. We are seeking qualified applicants and would appreciate your assistance in helping us to share the announcement of the position to your networks.
This week your Ombudsman Office opened cases on City of Dayton Water service, Housing Inspection, Community Action Partnership (PIPP), Child Support, Food Stamps, Medicaid, Miami Valley Housing Opportunities, Social Security, and the United States Post Office for households in Brookville, Centerville, Dayton, Huber Heights, Miamisburg and Trotwood.
We were pleased to have the opportunity to assist two great-grandparents who were caring for two of their great-grandchildren through placement by an agency. The great-grandparents described their need for services for the children, and their fears that due to their limited income and age-related health conditions that they were not providing the best care for the children. The Ombudsman was able to make contact with staff at the agency and relay the couple's concerns. A visit was made to the home and additional services for the children were arranged. The couple was grateful for our intervention.
We also had the opportunity to give brief assistance or referrals concerning the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Labor, Disability Rights Ohio, Greater Dayton Premier Management, legal matters, the Attorney General's Office, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, the Bureau of Workman's Compensation, the Department of Corrections and the Ohio Department of Insurance for residents of Brookville, Centerville, Dayton, Huber Heights, Miamisburg, Riverside and Trotwood.
Our Long-Term Care Ombudsmen prevented two unwanted discharges from facilities this week. One is allowed to remain in the facility because of the decision of a hearing officer and the other facility agreed to let the resident remain while an application for Medicaid is filed. We opened complaints in seven area facilities on unwanted discharges; shortages of staff; billing problems; unresponsive staff; staff lack of treating residents with dignity and respect; pressure sores; and lack of assistance with eating. We provided information to the Ohio Department of Health surveyors for their inspections of eleven facilities.
Please find our position description attached and see our Facebook weekly update given below.
Facebook Weekly Update: June 26, 2017 – June 30, 2017
“Getting help with confusing Social Security information”
A man visited the Ombudsman Office with paperwork from the Social Security Administration (SSA) stating the monthly amount of disability benefits he would receive over the next few months. The man’s benefits were being reduced. The man was confused about the reason for the reductions, and offered that nothing had changed in his part-time employment or any other aspect of his life. He also did not understand what the SSA letter was telling him with respect to his Medicare benefits. Finally, the man added that he had a court date to be evicted because he had not been able to pay his rent because his Social Security benefits had been reduced.
The Ombudsman read the information from the SSA, and helped the man to understand that his Social Security was being reduced in order to increase the amount the agency is withholding each month to pay the man’s child support obligation. When the Ombudsman expressed concern about the upcoming eviction, the man responded that he had already made arrangements to move in with his father in a nearby municipality. The Ombudsman explained that the letter from the SSA was also informing him that he was eligible for the Qualified Medicare Beneficiary program through Medicaid, which will pay for his Part B premiums. The Ombudsman explained how the man would apply for those benefits and how that would impact his monthly income. The man was pleased to have the confusion about the changes to his benefits explained.
The Ombudsman Column, a production of the Joint Office of Citizens’ Complaints, summarizes selected problems that citizens have had with government services, schools and nursing homes in the Dayton area. Contact the Ombudsman by writing to the Beerman Building, 11 W. Monument Avenue, Suite 606, Dayton 45402, or telephone (937) 223-4613, or by electronic mail at ombudsman@dayton-ombudsman.org or like us on Facebook at “Dayton Ombudsman Office.”

Subject: [OFFICIAL-L] A message from interim President McCray
Dear Campus Community,
It has been an honor to work with you and for you.
Together, we have wrestled with an important challenge, which you met with great passion, resolve, and wisdom. Your effort to find a solution has been great. My respect for you is even greater.
The last three and a half months from my perspective have been necessary and critical to sustaining the on-going success of Wright State University--and critical to ensuring the bright future of this great place. You are members of a strong institution awash with successes. Don't be fooled by those who just report your challenges.
You are emerging leaner, stronger and poised even more now, to thrive. I know you will continue to rely on strong ethical values and your ever-burning passion for the important work you provide the university and the communities Wright State serves.
I wish you well in the coming months and years with President Schrader. She is very lucky to have you. And you to have her.
Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to students.
Thank you for allowing me, if only for a short while, to call myself a Raider.

Donors meet deadline to save Wright State swimming and diving
The Wright State swimming and diving teams will be back in the pool in 2017-18 thanks to fundraising efforts that have saved the program.
Scheduled to be a part of the university’s $30.8 million in budget cuts, the swimming and diving program met the June 30 deadline to raise $85,000 to keep the men’s and women’s teams afloat.
“We are happy to have the swimming and diving teams back for the 2017-18 season, and appreciate the efforts of the group and the dedicated alumni to make this happen,” WSU Director of Athletics Bob Grant said.
According to a release on the school website, the supporters will continue to have conversations about how to fund the program beyond the upcoming season.
