Center for Christian Virtue (CCV) is joining a press conference this morning at the Ohio Statehouse to celebrate the Ohio Senate's inclusion of funding for the Responsible Fatherhood Initiative in its draft state budget.
"The decline of marriage and rise of fatherlessness in homes are at the root of most of the challenges Ohio is facing today," said Aaron Baer, President of Center for Christian Virtue. "Nearly 53% of Ohio's children are raised in homes without a married father. As CCV's Hope and a Future report exposed, this drives poverty, failing educational outcomes, and even the mental health issues kids are facing. President McColley's has led the state Senate to make a historic investment in fighting this crisis."
