York Street Project
To alleviate duplicative administrative costs, York Street Project was established as an umbrella staff for the programs. Under the guidance of Executive Director Susanne Byrne, this staff comprises a Financial Manager, Human Resource Manager, Maintenance Supervisor and two Staff Members, and a Secretary. In addition, a three-person Development Office is responsible for raising the funds required to operate each of our four programs.
