Class of Housing/Services: Transitional Housing, Non Profit Organization

General Information:
This is a Non Profit Organization that provides Transitional Housing. Review the details below: YCCAC was founded more than 35 years ago as a result of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. Through our work, we seek to eliminate "the paradox of poverty in the midst of plenty". We achieve our mission by creating the opportunity for our clients to develop long term assets, whether tangible (e.g., through home ownership programs) or intangible (e.g., through educational and health services). For those who have the potential to become financially self sufficient, we offer advocacy, training, transitional services, and income support. For those whose ability to increase income through wages is limited (i.e., the elderly and people with disabilities), we offer assistance to pay for basics such as housing, heat and utilities, and food supplements. Fees may apply for this Transitional Housing resource. Contact York County Community Action with the contact information we provided to get full details. Oftentimes you can apply for sliding scale fee payment or other options if you are low income. You will need to speak with them to see if you qualify.
