Report criticizes WCS girls home in Lancaster County
A six member ad hoc committee appointed last October delivered a report criticizing the Women in Community Service home at 1935 R St for teen girls. It argues a more flexible approach could foster a positive attitude and self direction while cautions against diluting the program’s purpose. The home operates below capacity with about six residents. Recommendations include per diem funding, ongoing professional advisory input, staff incentive pay, and meeting state licensing standards. The six members named include Elaine Carpenter, Herbert Howe Jr., Keith Leech, Mary Prior, Mary Marietta, and George Scofield.
