Ohio’s Mortgage Payment Assistance (MPA) program for Hardest Hit Fund (HHF) applicants fully subsidized recipients' monthly mortgage payments for up to 18 months while they searched for jobs, targeting unemployed homeowners who were at risk of or in foreclosure due to financial hardship and being delinquent on their mortgage. Participants had to report their employment status to the state housing finance agency. Those who became employed before reaching the maximum duration of benefits received at least two months of assistance.

Generating Opportunities to Attain Lifelong Success (GOALS) provided intensive case management followed by occupational skills training, job placement services with dedicated employment liaisons and postemployment services, targeting SNAP participants who were work registrants.

Ethics, Discipline, Goals, Employment (EDGE) - Enhanced Community College Services (ECCS) group provided intensive case management to new and current SNAP work registrants, focusing on able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs), requiring participants to enroll in a four-week career readiness course followed by a choice of three pathways—academic (basic education, post-secondary education, or occupational skills training), work (subsidized or unsubsidized employment), or life skills (work or behavioral skills).

Employment Opportunities, Personalized Services, Individualized Training, and Career Planning (EPIC) provided enhanced case management support, expanded occupational skills training, and offered a broad array of support services targeted to two groups of SNAP participants-unemployed or underemployed SNAP work registrants with low skills or limited work experience and those who were working but needed additional skills to increase earnings.

The EleVAte program placed able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWD) SNAP participants into one of three service components based on a reading level assessment and training interests: a hybrid online and in-person basic adult education program, a short-term occupational skills training course, or a longer-term occupational skills training course with integrated basic education.
