Article 49: One Sky Community Services – $5,100

We, the undersigned residents of Hampton, Petition the Town of Hampton to place on the warrant the request to see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the amount of $5,100 to support One Sky Community Services in their efforts to provide vital support and services to those individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities who reside in the Town of Hampton, in the Town’s 2018 budget.

What it means:  One Sky Community Services helps people with disabilities to get the training they need to live purposeful lives.  The amount of $5,100 was determined by multiplying the number of served adults from Hampton (51) times $100 (a portion of what it costs to provide work training). If the voters agree to   support this organization in 2018, they will be added to the list of agencies supported via the Social Services Warrant Article in 2019.

Those in favor say: Our communities are best served when all individuals contribute at thier highest levels.  This agency assists people with developmental disabilities to acquire the skills they need to get jobs and to live fulfilling lives.

Those Against say:  No one Spoke against this article at Deliberative Session.

(Article 49 is the final article on the main ballot for 2018.)
