Executive Director Crystal Natan told the Citizens’ Advisory Committee that "state funds are currently on hold until a state budget is passed" and emphasized the scale of the exposure: "80% of the CYA’s budget is state dollars." She said staff are continuing to pay invoices and that Lancaster County can cover the agency’s expenses for about one month while the state budget remains unresolved.
Natan said the agency is preparing the FY 26/27 budget and that the fiscal department is finalizing the fourth-quarter invoice to the state; she expects only minor increases for next year and said the proposed budget will go before the county commissioners the first week of September.
