YOUNGSTOWN — People helped by the Mahoning County Department of Job and Family Services should expect to wait longer to receive services.
Budget woes in the department prompted the county commissioners today to unanimously authorize layoffs and job abolitions at the agency.
Judee Genetin, acting JFS director, however, declined to provide special details, saying she needed to discuss the matter first with labor unions representing JFS employees.
Commissioner John A. McNally IV said he believes about 20 JFS employees will be laid off later this year due to the department’s budget woes. JFS, which is located at Oakhill Renaissance Place, employs about 300 workers.
