Rose holds grant workshop
U.S. Rep. Max Rose, chairperson of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Intelligence and Counterterrorism, sponsored a workshop at the Sephardic Community Center in Brooklyn on Jan. 21 to help local organizations learn more about the federal government’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program. The program provides support and protection for non-profit and religious institutions such as synagogues, churches, mosques, religious schools and community centers.
“No American should ever be afraid to worship, gather for prayers or celebrate with their community. Unfortunately, with rising hate and violence taking place across our city and country, it’s a reality that’s occurring far too often,” said Rose, a Democrat representing Southwest Brooklyn and Staten Island. “I was proud to lead a successful, bipartisan effort to increase funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, but increasing it alone is not enough if those who need the funding most don’t know about the program or how to apply.”
