Fitzmaurice Community Services

What Fitzmaurice Community Services does

Fitzmaurice Community Services, Inc. (FCS) is a Pennsylvania-based nonprofit social services organization founded in 1966 by Johanna Fitzmaurice, who pioneered community-based disability services by opening her home to six individuals from White Haven State Center. Headquartered in Stroudsburg, PA, FCS now serves more than 1,000 individuals daily across Carbon, Monroe, Pike, and Northampton counties, employing over 250 staff. Its core service portfolio spans residential group homes (including 11 Behavioral Health homes), Lifesharing family placements, Supported Living, Personal Care Homes, Employment and Vocational Services, specialized Clinical/Psychiatric Services, and Financial Management Services such as Representative Payee and Agency with Choice.

The underlying technology is the trained human-service delivery model rather than a proprietary software platform; the organization does not describe a technology product. Revenue is generated primarily through government-funded service contracts with Carbon-Monroe-Pike MHDS, the PA Office of Developmental Programs (Medicaid waivers), PA DCED, and HUD, supplemented by donations to the affiliated FCS Foundation and minor social-enterprise activity (the Library Café inside the Eastern Monroe Public Library). Customer acquisition is community-led: referrals flow from county mental health/intellectual disability systems, school transition programs, hospital discharge planners, and word-of-mouth, with no traditional paid acquisition or reseller channels.

The organization operates under leadership of President/CEO Debra Scocozza following the tenure of founder's daughter Elizabeth Koster, and is governed by a board of directors with a separate 501(c)-affiliated foundation handling charitable fundraising. Pricing is not publicly disclosed because service costs are determined by government program eligibility and reimbursement rates rather than market price tiers; Representative Payee services are provided at no charge to residential residents.

Revenue model

1. Government-Funded Service Contracts: FCS generates the majority of its revenue through government-funded contracts with Pennsylvania county mental health and intellectual disability systems (Carbon-Monroe-Pike MHDS), the PA Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Services for individuals with disabilities and behavioral health disorders are funded through Medicaid waivers, state developmental programs, and housing grants. This is the primary revenue stream for the organization.
2. Donations and Foundation Grants: The FCS Foundation (fcsfoundation.com) raises funds from individual donors, corporate sponsors, and community fundraisers. The Foundation's mission is to cover unmet needs of individuals served by FCS, including clothing, hearing aids, recreation, and more. The Foundation received a $20,000 grant from the Pocono Mountains Community Fundraiser and other community donations.
3. Representative Payee Services: FCS acts as a Representative Payee for Social Security payments for individuals in its residential programs and some community members, managing checking and savings accounts, pensions, bonds, certificates of deposit, assets, real estate, and legal settlements. This service is offered at no charge to residential program residents and is funded through government programs.
4. Agency with Choice Services: FCS processes fiscal employee-related paperwork, pays support service workers based on timesheets and mileage logs, withholds and files taxes, provides monthly statements, and submits bills to the PA Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) for provider reimbursement. Revenue comes from government reimbursement for these fiscal intermediary services.
