Commission approves renewed letter of support for CCAP and discusses $1,000 supplemental

Crawford County commissioners approved a letter of support for the Community Care Assistance Program, and during the meeting discussed providing a $1,000 supplemental payment on top of last year’s $16,000 allocation. Lisa, a county staff member who prepared the letter, told commissioners she drafted the support letter to match the $16,000 the county provided last year and noted CCAP had said it was struggling to stay afloat and might not continue without additional work or funding. Commissioner (name not specified) moved to approve the letter and proposed the additional $1,000; another commissioner seconded the motion and gave general assent. The discussion noted the county provides elderly-services funding that has supported CCAP in prior years. No formal roll-call vote record appears in the transcript; the motion was moved and seconded during the meeting. Commissioners said the service is relied on by residents who depend on rides to medical appointments, grocery shopping and other basic needs and recalled past county task‑force partnerships that helped extend services to rural areas.
