Overview: The Brevard County Commission’s recent meeting was particularly notable for its discussions on funding for community-based organizations (CBOs) and the services aimed at assisting the county’s senior population. The commission grappled with the elimination of $500,000 in annual funding for CBOs, which has left many local groups in financial distress, struggling to serve their communities amid rising costs and decreased funding. The issue of senior care was also front and center, with recognition of Captain Joe Seckler’s dedication to serving Brevard County’s older residents, highlighting the ongoing efforts to meet the needs of this demographic.
