INFORMATION: The Montgomery County Human Services Levy Council is recommending a renewal of expiring Levy B, which funds $58 million in social services. Decades ago, a staggered levy model was proposed to the public as a method of supporting multiple agencies that provide social services to residents under one funding umbrella.
Agencies like Montgomery County Children Services, Montgomery County Development Disabilities Services, Montgomery County Alcohol Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services, Older Adult Services and Public Health - Dayton and Montgomery County all receive Human Services levy dollars. All of these service providers have reported increases in community need, the cost to help community members, and mandates they must follow to deliver their services.
