Catholic Community Service

What Catholic Community Service does

Catholic Community Service (CCS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social services agency headquartered at 1803 Glacier Highway in Juneau, Alaska, founded in 1973 by six Jesuit Volunteers under Bishop Francis Hurley to serve vulnerable families in Southeast Alaska. The organization operates two principal divisions: Southeast Senior Services (SESS), which delivers congregate meals, home-delivered meals, ADA-accessible transportation, adult day care (The Bridge), caregiver support, and case management through a regional network of senior centers; and the SAFE Child Advocacy Center, which provides a multidisciplinary response to child maltreatment allegations including forensic interviews, forensic medical examinations, mental health counseling, crisis intervention, and family advocacy. SESS currently spans 11 senior centers across 16 Southeast Alaska communities including Angoon, Haines, Hoonah, Juneau, Kake, Ketchikan, Sitka, Skagway, and Wrangell, with the SAFE CAC serving the entire region from a centralized Juneau facility.

CCS employs 75 staff supported by approximately 50 volunteers and is governed by an independent board of directors. Revenue is generated through individual donations, foundation and corporate sponsorships (United Way of Southeast Alaska, Gaguine Foundation, Alaska Airlines, Allen Marine Tours, Pick.Click.Give), and government grants and contracts including the National Family Caregiver Support Program. All services are delivered free of charge to clients. CCS previously operated Medicare-certified Hospice and Home Care of Juneau from 2003 until suspending that line in October 2022 due to a registered nursing shortage, and exited direct delivery of the Capital AKcess paratransit service effective November 1, 2025, when operations transitioned to GTS. SAFE CAC is accredited by the National Children's Alliance and coordinates with Alaska State Troopers, Juneau Police Department, the Alaska Office of Children's Services, AWARE, the Tlingit and Haida Tribal Family & Youth Services, Bartlett Regional Hospital, the Juneau School District, and state prosecution offices.

The organization has no proprietary technology platform, no AI or ML capabilities, and no disclosed technology integrations; service delivery is fundamentally workforce-driven and place-based. Its competitive position rests on 50+ years of regional relationships, the integrated MDT model for child advocacy, and physical infrastructure (senior centers, vehicles, kitchens) across geographically dispersed communities where alternative providers face structural barriers to entry. The organization celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2023–2024 and continues to operate as an independent nonprofit with no parent company, equity sponsor, or M&A activity disclosed.
