Overview

Mission

Yccacs mission is to ensure that all people in york county thrive. We work with our partners to meet urgent needs, create opportunities to succeed, promote well-being, and advocate for just policies and practices.

What it reported doing in 2024

Transportation - transportation services help york county residents to be self-sufficient by providing transportation to community services and other destinations which they would otherwise not be able to reach. All of the transportation services are open to the general public. The sanford transit offers year-round service from springvale to south sanford. The wave (wheels to access vocation & education) operates daily scheduled transportation between sanford-wells and sanford-biddeford. Transportation also provides a limited amount of rides to medical appointments (including cancer treatment) through the privately-funded york county transport and connecting to cancer care programs. In addition, transportation maintains contracts with a small number of agencies, including child development services and the Maine department of health and human services to provide non-emergency medical transportation to low-income residents. Wic - women, infants and children (wic) works with prenatal mothers, infants, and children to age five. Wic provides eligible families with educational material and tools to support mother and child's health and wellness. Wic provides these families with vouchers for healthy foods designed to supplement mother and child's diet with specific key nutrients. Wic also ensures each child receives regular physical check-up exams. To encourage and support new mothers to breastfeed their child, breastfeeding peer counselors, breast pumps, and enhanced food packages to mothers who are breastfeeding are available. Economic opportunity - economic opportunity connects people in need with programs and services that offer help through financial assistance, referrals, education, and advocacy. The program is designed to assess each client's/household's particular set of needs and provide support ranging from crisis intervention (immediate need for fuel, food, shelter, etc.) to short-term case management. The goal is to help individuals and their families achieve independence and financial stability. Other programs that fall under the community outreach umbrella include york county cah (creating assets savings and hope), a financial capability education program, which includes free tax preparation, financial coaching and workshops aimed at helping clients develop financial goals to build assets, as well as homebuyer education, housing navigation, and family coaching.
