A New York Congresswoman says federal funding will help protect nonprofits against terrorist attacks.
Congresswoman Nita Lowey, ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, says $400,000 will go towards protecting nonprofits in Rockland and Westchester Counties against terrorist attacks. JCC Rockland will see $100,000, which Lowey says was awarded as part of a new homeland security grant program she secured in the Fiscal Year 2018 spending bill to provide security funding for nonprofit organizations located outside designated jurisdictions determined to be at high risk of terrorist attacks. Funding in Westchester, though, continues. JCC on the Hudson in Tarrytown and JCC of Mid-Westchester in Scarsdale were each awarded $150,000.
