Pro Action of Steuben and Yates

What Pro Action of Steuben and Yates does

Pro Action of Steuben and Yates, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Community Action Agency founded in 1965 and headquartered in Bath, New York, with a secondary office in Penn Yan serving Steuben and Yates Counties. The agency delivers a multi-generational portfolio of human services organized into four program domains: Prosperous Futures (workforce development, adult literacy, One Stop Career Centers, Senior Community Service Employment Program, Wheels for Work), Resilient Children and Families (Head Start, Early Head Start, Universal Prekindergarten, Family Resource Centers, Kids on Track, Home Based Services), Thriving Seniors (Senior Nutrition, Yates Office for Aging In-Home Services, Bingocize, Project Lifesaver), and Basic Needs Support (HEAP, weatherization, Community Action Angels, HOPE Center Keuka Food Pantry). Service recipients include low-income individuals and families, job seekers, children aged 0-5 and expectant mothers, seniors aged 60+, and licensed child care providers in Steuben and Schuyler Counties.

The agency's operational technology is limited and non-proprietary: it administers the state-issued eWIC Card electronic benefit-transfer system for WIC participants and developed the COMET centralized database through the Kids on Track Implementation Partnership to coordinate child-and-family referrals in Steuben County. Distribution relies on a physical site network—main offices, satellite WIC locations in Corning and Hornell, multiple Family Resource Centers, five career centers, and Head Start classrooms—and on community partnerships with school districts, county DSS and Office for the Aging, healthcare providers, United Way of the Southern Tier, CSS Workforce NY, Finger Lakes Works, and Keuka Housing.

Funding is structurally dependent on government sources, with 91% of total funding flowing from federal, state, and county grants (Office of Community Services/HHS, Office of Head Start, U.S. Department of Labor, NYS Office of Children and Family Services, Steuben and Yates counties), supplemented by a fee-for-service Training Programs line (customized curriculum delivery on a quoted basis) and individual donations supporting the Community Action Angels employee-funded small-grants program. Administration consumes only 6.84% of overall expenses, and the organization met all 57 National Organizational Standards and all 199 New York State Standards of Excellence, holding NYS Standard of Excellence Certification. A nearly $47M U.S. Department of Labor SCSEP grant administered through CWI Works, Inc. provides the largest disclosed single funding stream.
