York County YCCAC Hopes To Add New Programs
The York County Community Action Corporation plans a $500,000 funding increase this year to expand services. Director Carroll Hussey cites plans for expanded health care access, transportation for the elderly and disabled, and aid for high school dropouts, with 14 current programs and a $1 million prior-year budget. The private funding comes mostly from the federal treasury, with 20 percent local matching. Hussey notes towns vote directly to support YCCAC, and the agency has reached a saturation point after adding programs annually and moving to larger space at the Sanford Town Hall Annex.
