JOY Center limited services amid state budget cuts
Dany Duran, head of Chaves County JOY Center Inc, told about 40 at the Senior Circle that nearly $52,000 was slashed from the agency’s operating budget as state lawmakers reduced funding by about 5.5 percent. The center will not refill a retired senior employment position, cut full-time hours to 38 per week, and reduce meals and transportation units across four centers and home deliveries to cope with the loss.
