MetroHealth and Birthing Beautiful Communities are working with the Cuyahoga County Jail to bring support and dignity to pregnant mothers who are incarcerated.
On Nov. 1, 2025, 4,200 members of the immigrant population in Cuyahoga County were removed from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Re:Source worked with the county to re-do some applications, but the number of people permanently removed in Cuyahoga County is between 2,200 to 2,500.
Re:Source Cleveland began partnering with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank and delivers at least 10 days’ to two weeks’ worth of food to 80 families.
When the partnership was first started, it was still legal to shackle mothers while they were giving birth, Long said.
