Performance Target

This page is a milestone measure, meaning updates take the form of qualitative, project-based narratives to provide additional details related to core County programs and services. Measure performance is impacted by a number of factors, including funding levels, strategic priorities, community need, and policy decisions made at the federal, state, and local level. Performance targets are not set for milestone measures, but timely reporting of updates is important.  

How are we making an impact?

The Department of Regional Collaboration continues to manage state and federal advocacy for the County and organizes calls with County directors, local advocates, legislators and community leaders to create countywide policy priorities and promote legislation that will enhance the health, safety and economic viability of Cuyahoga County residents and the region.

Regional Collaboration is in the process of meeting with state lobbyists, legislators and County directors to discuss potential projects to request funding in the upcoming Capital Budget.

Department staff also continue to monitor and advocate for flexibility for American Recovery Plan dollars to ensure the greatest impact on residents recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.
