The Trehab Community Action Agency

What The Trehab Community Action Agency does

The Trehab Community Action Agency (legally Trehab Community Action Partnership) is a private nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation headquartered in Montrose, Pennsylvania, operating as a designated Community Action Agency and Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) across six rural counties in northeastern Pennsylvania — Bradford, Sullivan, Susquehanna, Tioga, Wayne, and Wyoming. Founded in 1970 originally as Treatment and Rehabilitation Services of Northeastern Pennsylvania, the organization delivers an integrated portfolio of social services to low-income individuals and families, the elderly, job seekers, individuals with substance use disorders, and youth aging out of foster care. Service lines span community services, drug and alcohol treatment and prevention, affordable housing development and counseling, weatherization, WIOA-funded workforce development, shared-ride transportation, emergency food programs, and recovery support.

The agency's product portfolio is delivered through 13+ physical locations including workforce offices co-located within PA CareerLink sites, peer-run recovery support centers, food banks with a community garden, and multiple owned affordable housing developments totaling 100+ units, with an active development pipeline including 40-unit projects at Gateway Commons and Greenwood Gardens. Underlying technology is limited to standard nonprofit case management and administrative software — there is no proprietary technology product. Revenue is generated through three streams: government grants and contracts (federal WIOA, HUD, RD, FHA funds; PA DDAP, Department of Public Welfare, PHFA, PENNDOT, and DCED funds), sliding-scale program fees and insurance/Medical Assistance billings for treatment services, and individual/corporate donations. The organization is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors including county commissioners and a sitting state representative, with day-to-day operations led by Executive Director Judith Herschel.
