Brooklyn Paper reports on funding for one of our residences for people with developmental disabilities, which will modernize the facility.
“The New York Foundling celebrated a significant funding boost on Friday after State Senator Julia Salazar secured $500,000 to renovate a Cypress Hills group home for individuals with developmental disabilities.
The half-million-dollar grant will enable extensive upgrades to the row house, including modernized safety and security systems, a new HVAC system, and renovations to bathrooms, bedrooms, and the communal kitchen.
The improvements aim to enhance the quality of life for the five residents who receive on-site support to live independently, access health care, and participate in employment and community programs through the work of The New York Foundling — which provides services to more than 1,000 children and adults with developmental disabilities each year.”
“We are so grateful to State Senator Salazar for securing funding that will make a huge difference in the lives of our residents,” said Hartzog. “These renovations will make this home safer, more comfortable, and more beautiful — and our residents deserve nothing less. Working together, we can help people with developmental disabilities reach their full potential.”
