ORANGE COUNTY- State Senator James Skoufis (D-Cornwall) has secured $75,000 for the Autism Society of the Greater Hudson Region to expand its footprint in Orange County.
The grant will fund efforts to improve awareness of available services in Orange County, which kicked off in June, when the Senator and the Autism Society co-hosted an autism services roundtable that brought together organizations and advocates from across the county. The Autism Society covers clients in 21 counties in the Hudson Valley.
“While those working locally in this field do a tremendous job, it’s clear that constituents living with autism or caring for a loved one with autism often don’t know where to start,” said Senator Skoufis. “This funding will allow the Autism Society to dedicate resources for new conversations, new training opportunities, and new connections to be made here in Orange County. I was glad to secure it, and I’m grateful to the organization for their willingness to collaborate.”
