Description
The Allegany County Human Resources Development Commission, Inc. (HRDC) is a private non-profit Community Action Agency that was founded in 1965. The purpose of HRDC, which was originally mandated by the Allegany County Commissioners, is to combat poverty and the problems of the disadvantaged in Allegany County. To meet this end, HRDC’s Board of Directors, representing various sectors of the community, have identified problems of the identified problems experienced by the county’s poor, elderly, and disabled populations. HRDC’s goals are centered on the development of a wide variety of programs and activities designed to alleviate those problems. When a need is identified, HRDC creates effective public and/or private partnership to help people help themselves.
