As a non-profit public service organization, the Phillips Brooks House Association (PBHA) has always struggled to find enough money.
But its multi-million dollar capital campaign may ease the organization's financial troubles in years to come, the group's summer programs are facing financial shortfalls now.
PBHA summer programs generally offer in-class teaching as well as less structured activities, such as field trips. The 13 camps run the entire day.
Last year, they were funded in large part by a one-time grant. This year, they won't get it.
Summer program directors say they are excited about the summer, and have reformed their leadership selection process in an attempt to improve their staff.
But with less money to fund the programs, PBHA directors say they will also consider cutbacks--such as fewer meals and reduced offerings--to deal with their current budget shortfall.
