State Funding will Expand Primary Care and Behavioral Health Services at StartCare and Support Improvements at Breukelen Houses Community Center
Governor Joins Senator Roxanne J. Persaud to Deliver Investments in Critical Community Services and Facilities
Governor Kathy Hochul announced $6.2 million in state funding to support healthcare and community facility improvements in Brooklyn, including $4.2 million for StartCare and $2 million for the New York City Housing Authority’s Breukelen Houses Community Center. Governor Hochul announced the investments alongside state Senator Roxanne J. Persaud during a community event in Canarsie.
“Strong communities depend on having quality healthcare and welcoming spaces where families can access the services and support they need,” Governor Hochul said. “These investments will help StartCare expand critical health services for Brooklyn residents and strengthen the Breukelen Houses Community Center for the families who rely on it.”
Governor Hochul joined Senator Persaud at her Free Funday and Back to School Giveaway at Canarsie Park, where she helped distribute school supplies to local families ahead of the new school year. Following the giveaway, the Governor and Senator Persaud joined representatives from StartCare and Breukelen Houses to announce the two investments.
The $6.2 million in support, which the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) will administer, will support renovations and improvements at both facilities.
StartCare will receive $4.2 million to renovate its existing facility and expand primary care and behavioral health services. The project will add on-site EKG and laboratory testing and provide additional space for vocational training and community workshops.
The New York City Housing Authority will receive $2 million to support renovations and improvements to the community center at Breukelen Houses.
