GASTON COUNTY, N.C. — Federal funding freezes are impacting the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) in Gaston County, leaving 53 senior participants facing a work furlough starting July 1.
For some participants, SCSEP provides their sole source of income, making the funding freeze particularly challenging for those affected. The program is designed to offer employment opportunities to seniors, helping them stay active and earn a living.
