Jessica Miranda, Hamilton County Auditor, was guest speaker at the Cincinnatus Association’s Inclusion Panel on September 9, 2024. Members of Cincinnatus were invited to meet with the auditor and discuss the property value increase crisis and the Homesteading Exemption.
Ms. Miranda provided an informative overview of the Auditor’s responsibility, what is the Homestead Exemption, who qualifies, why Exemption is so important and how Cincinnatus can advocate for the expansion of the Homestead Exemption.
The Auditor is advocating at the Ohio statehouse for an expansion of the Homestead Exemption. Proposed legislation would increase the income threshold for eligible homeowners and increase the amount of tax reduction each could receive. These changes would increase the number of seniors that could receive the exemption and the amount of tax reduction, providing an incentive for seniors who might otherwise consider other states with better financial benefits than Ohio.
The Inclusion Panel, under the leadership of Matt Strauss, Chair and Valerie Daley, Vice Chair, is identifying ways in which Cincinnatus can help make seniors aware of the Homestead Exemption and advocate for the expansion of the Exemption.
Leader-to-Leader Year-End Celebration & Best Practices
Cincinnatus has planned a year-end celebration & best practice meeting for the Leader-To-Leader participants on June 6, 2024. Thank you to Connie Roesch and Kent Friel for planning the celebration.
The Leader-to-Leader program began as a partnership between the Cincinnatus Association and the Cincinnati Public Schools in 2007. The program matches a business leader (recruited by the Cincinnatus Association) and a Principal, Assistant Principal or Administrator of the Cincinnati Public Schools. Currently, there are eight Cincinnatus members serving as leaders.
