Programs

              

Community Services Project, Inc. provides job opportunities for persons with disabilities across the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Their mission is accomplished through contractual arrangements with the Kentucky Office for Vocational Rehabilitation (KOVR) to provide community based adjustment and placement services with a competitive employment outcome for persons with disabilities. In addition, the agency contracts with state and local governments to provide janitorial service job opportunities for persons with disabilities at its contract site locations. These janitorial service jobs are primarily in state road side rest areas. Other job site locations include office complexes, state health care facilities, and other private office buildings/business enterprises. CSP, Inc.’s internal agency job sites offer competitive wages, flexible schedules, and employment benefits such as health, life, dental and vision insurances, and paid time off. In addition to providing job opportunities, the agency works with rehab program providers to ensure employees have any needed reasonable accommodation and the job training necessary to perform work duties.

Fund Raising

              

Method(s) Used:

Community Services Project, Inc. generates revenue through contractual arrangements with state government primarily in road side rest areas, local governments and private contractors for the provision of janitorial services. The agency also works with the KOVR by providing community based adjustment and placement services for persons with disabilities. Due to state and local government budgetary constraints, CSP, Inc.’s revenue stream has been reduced, which will require the agency to generate additional capital through fundraising activities in order to continue their programs and achieve their mission.
