Community Progress Council to move into new service hub in York
The Community Progress Council (CPC) in York is planning to open a new service center on Roosevelt Avenue to help families become self-sufficient and break cycles of poverty through access to programs like Head Start Pre-K and WIC.”We really want to be able to do is not have our delivery of services become another barrier for them at the Roosevelt Avenue location, the walk through the door, we can capture them, connect them to a full array of services,” Robin Rohrbaugh, CPC President & CEO, said.In 2025, the CPC served over 15,000 people across its three sites. The organization acknowledges that transportation can be a challenge and sees the new 60,000-square-foot facility as a starting point for the York community.”Housing, counseling and education, credit repair, financial literacy, workforce programs so we can wrap our services around those families and really encourage them to move from poverty to self-sufficiency,” Rohrbaugh added.Plans for the Roosevelt Avenue location includes renovations, second-floor classrooms, and a rooftop playground, with the project estimated to cost $22 million.The CPC said the change has been a long time coming, but the project is still a work in progress, with construction expected to start in spring 2027.”We’ve accomplished a huge hurdle here, but there’s still a whole lot of work to do,” Rohrbaugh said.The YCEA expressed excitement about partnering with the CPC.“We are incredibly excited to partner with CPC as they establish a new home that will allow them to further expand their mission and impact on York County residents,” shared Kevin Schreiber, President and CEO of the YCEA. “Their vision for an integrated services hub aligns strongly with our shared commitment to economic opportunity, workforce development, and countywide well-being.”The CPC will officially close on the building by December, with the York County Economic Alliance (YCEA) and current tenants remaining in place until then.
