Non-Profit Resource Center
YCAN assists organizations in the Big Horn Basin to increase their capacity while servicing local poverty needs. One of our organizational mandates is to provide a “clearinghouse on available resources” and grant funding for poverty-reducing programs to non-profits. YCAN manages a non-profit resource page and a non-profit resource center located in Greybull, Wyoming.
Self-Sufficiency Programs
- In 2017 our CSBG grants shifted focus from emergency type services to services that had measurable outcomes, and individuals and families with low incomes are stable and achieve economic security.
- Our Self-Sufficiency program is the heart of what we do! YCAN partners with local agencies providing intensive case management and whole family approach services. We coordinate financial assistance services that lead to long-term self-sufficiency outcomes for low-income individuals and families living in Park and Hot Springs Counties.
- This program services about 75 unduplicated individuals in Park County, Wyoming each year.
One Stop Partnerships
A one-stop model is a single location to deliver services to rural families. Bringing together services in one place can benefit rural families in accessing healthcare, transportation, referrals, and services for children. While YCAN does not operate an emergency assistance program, Park and Hot Springs County residents can access our services through One-Stop Centers if they are eligible!
Homeless Veteran Assistance
No amount of words can express our gratitude for our Veterans. They have chosen the country over everything else and showed us what true patriotism looks like. YCAN has received a generous donation of supplies for homeless veterans. We have coats to boots, and sleeping bags. Please call us at (307) 754-2073 if you know someone who needs supplies. We will also work to connect them with the services they need.
