AKRON: The nonprofit Community Health Center cut 17 workers last week and has opted not to fill other vacant jobs because of money problems.
The agency, which provides services ranging from addiction treatment to housing programs, has been hard hit by the downturn in the economy, agency spokeswoman Chrissy Lockhart said today. She cited increases in health-care costs and stagnant funding as examples.
The cutbacks involved support staff and won't affect clients or services, she added.
''The Community Health Center is a solvent business and we're confident that we will continue to grow and rebound from this,'' Lockhart said. ''We are very confident that this will blow over.''
Community Health Center serves about 8,000 people a year.
The Summit County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board has advanced some money to help the agency with its cash-flow problem, Lockhart said. The agency also hopes to rehire workers who were let go and receive some additional funding from the ADM board next year.
County voters approved an ADM levy last year, but the money won't start being collected until next year.
