When Jamaal first got to Congress, he made clear his goal to bring as many resources as possible to our communities — including the YMCA.
Today we're honored to share that Jamaal has secured over $5.4 million in federal funding for our communities. Of that, almost $1 million dollars will go to YMCA programs across NY-16, providing necessary upgrades and resources to focus on afterschool programs for students and children and swimming opportunities for both youth and adults alike.
We're proud to know that Jamaal is continuing to fight for our communities in Congress. It's on us to continue showing up for Jamaal while he fights for our progressive values and vision. Please join us in celebrating this major win for NY-16 and communities like ours by contributing $10 to strengthen our momentum today.
Many people have been positively impacted by the YMCA across generations and in various ways. The Y saves lives each and every day. They support our communities, and they support those who are most affected by injustice in our communities.
In addition to the massive amount of funding for NY-16 YMCA programs, Jamaal also secured:
- $100,000 to Mount Vernon Neighborhood Health Center, Inc. for expanding behavioral health services for homebound elderly and disabled adults to help reduce the impact of mental health challenges.
- $500,000 to the Riverbay Fund in Co-op City for improving access to green space and promoting waterfront resilience in America's largest affordable housing development.
There's so much more work that needs to be done if we want to see the true vision of our progressive values come to light — but we know this is a step in the right direction. And we can't wait to continue supporting Jamaal as he continues this much-needed work.
In solidarity,
Bowman for Congress
