Work Activities Center aids independence for area clients
The UCS Community Work Activities Center opened in a Ben Mont Avenue warehouse less than a year ago and now serves 60 to 70 clients from Waterbury Brandon and local families. It offers one to one counseling group therapy crafts cooking hygiene budgeting and exercise to help clients become self sufficient. The center faces exposure and high per client costs though volunteers and state funds aim to offset costs. Annual budget for the center and day treatment is projected near 111000 with per client costs around 16 daily though charges are 8.27 with remaining covered by federal and state funds.
