"The reality is that many of these programs would have trouble operating without this funding and that would create a void for many in our community that would be impossible to fill. This funding allows them to continue their valuable service to our community and that benefits everyone," stated Senator Flanagan.
These grants were included in the recently adopted New York State budget.
