Celebrating 60 years of helping York County families achieve economic self-sufficiency

Community Progress Council works with low- and moderate-income people of all ages in York County to empower them to achieve self-sufficiency and live independent of public supports. We do this by serving the whole family through comprehensive, integrated services.

Navigators serve as a central point of intake to complete a crisis assessment and connect people to supportive services, coaching, and other referrals. No matter your need, our Navigators are the friendly faces you’ll work with first.

Progress toward self-sufficiency requires comprehensive services. Participants are paired with a coach who can help you identify long-term goals, connect you to programs within Community Progress Council and community resources, and support people on their journey to self-sufficiency.
