PROGRAM POLICIES
-
Public
service programs must meet at least one of the community goals adopted by
the Lancaster County Commissioners. These goals are intended to
promote: strong, stable families; safe communities; economic
self-sufficiency; optimum physical and mental health; quality life-long
learning; improved mobility; community-wide civic responsibility; and
diverse arts and cultural recreational opportunities.
-
Programs
must serve low and moderate income persons.
-
All
organizations must have outcome measurements that will clearly explain the
impact the services have had on the persons served and the community.
Organizations are notified of the availability of funds for public service
activities in the winter of each year. Funding is generally available
beginning in July of the following year. For more information, contact
Steve Glatfelter, our Community
