Details:
The Town of Kennebunk is in the beginning stages of preparing its annual municipal budget for fiscal year 2023-2024, and in amongst capital items such as road projects and infrastructure improvements, and operating expenses such as staffing proposals, there is funding offered for non-profit social service agencies that serve Kennebunk residents.
Every town and city in the State of Maine administers a General Assistance program, which is a financial aid program for people who qualify for support with basic necessities for limited period of time. Often the needs of a family are far greater than this short-term financial aid program can provide. Many municipalities traditionally provide budgetary support to social service agencies that offer services in their towns because it complements and offsets what the Town can provide for assistance and addresses known needs that non-profits address.
