HHS awards $15 million grant to NYU Langone
Funds going to Sunset Park Family Health Center
NYU Langone is getting a $15 million grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to put toward the health care and educational services it provides at the Sunset Park Family Health Center, according to U.S. Rep. Nydia Velázquez, who worked to secure the federal funding.
NYU Langone is one of several institutions in the Brooklyn portion of Velázquez’s congressional district to be awarded HHS grants for early childhood education programs like Head Start programs, as well as health care, mental health services and substance abuse treatment.
The Sunset Park Family Health Center at NYU Langone operates out of two locations, 150 55th St. and 5610 Second Ave., and is part of a network of nearly a dozen family-oriented medical clinics NYU Langone operates to provide primary health care and dental services to underserved neighborhoods in Brooklyn.
