GREENWICH — Two Greenwich nonprofits will see dividends as part of the massive federal omnibus package enacted at the end of 2022.

The package includes $100,000 to support sexual assault services at YWCA Greenwich and $1 million for Greenwich-based Family Centers to expand services in Stamford public schools.

U.S. Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy and Rep. Jim Himes, all Democrats, requested the earmarks — also known as “congressionally directed spending” or “community project funding” — as part of the fiscal year 2023 appropriations process, which culminated in a $1.7 trillion package that funds the federal government through September.

Himes, Blumenthal and Murphy obtained earmarks for a number of Fairfield County nonprofits.

The $100,000 for YWCA Greenwich will go toward the design of new program space, according to a release from Murphy and Blumenthal. 

Himes requested the $1 million earmark for Family Centers, which has offices in Greenwich, Stamford, New Canaan and Darien and will use the money to expand its school-based health centers at Stamford's Turn of River Middle School and Stamford High School.

“A school-based health center is an independently operated, typically medical and mental health clinic within the school,” said Dennis Torres, Family Centers’ chief health officer. “The model ... is successful because we are where kids are at. So ... a lot of kids that maybe don’t have access to medical (services) for whatever reason can get their medical and mental health treatment at our health centers without many barriers.”

The Turn of River center only offers mental health services at this time. Torres said the federal funding will help Family Centers build out the space to also include a medical clinic. 

The health center at Stamford High already has both mental health and medical services, but Torres said demand is so high that more space is needed.
