The Nassau County Legislature voted unanimously on Monday, Jan. 23 to allocate more than $560,000 in federal American Rescue Plan Act funding to Nassau County’s Department of Youth Services, which will distribute funds to an array of not-for-profit health and social service agencies that serve Nassau families and children.

Several of the organizations that are slated to receive additional funding through this initiative include the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center in Glen Cove, the Port Washington Parent Resource Center and more.

“So many not-for-profit organizations are still struggling to get fully back to normal after the disruptions that were caused by COVID-19,” said Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D-Glen Cove). “I thank my colleagues in the Legislature for voting to deliver much-needed support for ongoing and new programs that enrich the lives of our children and their families on a daily basis.”
