UCP of Maine

What UCP of Maine does

UCP of Maine is a private non-profit organization established in 1954 and headquartered in Bangor, Maine, that delivers an integrated continuum of disability, behavioral health, and residential services to children and adults across six Maine counties (Penobscot, Waldo, Piscataquis, Southern Aroostook, Washington, and Northeastern Somerset). The organization serves more than 1,500 individuals annually through a portfolio that includes a 14-bed Intermediate Care Facility (the Elizabeth Levinson Center) for medically fragile children and adults, four MaineCare Section 21 supported living homes in Bangor and Brewer, outpatient therapy, Behavioral Health Homes (BHH), Home and Community Based Child and Family Treatment (HCT), Rehabilitative and Community Supports (RCS), Bridges early intervention, Targeted and Community Case Management, telemental health, and a Washington County dental program. Services are delivered directly by UCP staff at agency offices in Bangor and Waterville, in client homes, schools, and community settings, with referrals sourced primarily from MaineCare, healthcare providers, schools, and self-referrals by families.

The organization's revenue model is anchored in MaineCare (Maine's Medicaid program) reimbursement across Sections 21, 28, and 65 authorizations, supplemented by individual and corporate donations (via AmazonSmile, JustGive.org, and direct giving), annual fundraising events (Pumpkins in the Park, Spring Dance), conference hosting (Maine Child Welfare Conference), and occasional government grants. There is no proprietary technology platform; UCP of Maine operates as a traditional human-services delivery organization. Scott Tash has served as CEO since October 2014 after stints as COO and CFO. The organization is independently governed by a Board of Directors with no parent company, external investor, or controlling entity disclosed.
