Today, members of the Interim Finance Committee approved the first Community Recovery Grants. I want to thank lawmakers & my team for ensuring we invest these federal dollars back into the community through programs that will have an immediate effect on the lives of Nevadans.
The first non-profits to receive funds include:
The Family Support Center, located in Winnemucca. The $153,764 grant will help the center reduce wait times and serve additional clients. The organization provides community-based, outpatient mental health and wellness services.
