New income-based cash assistance program for diverse learners

We are excited to announce that following two years of Agudah advocating for this city appropriation, the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD) will be rolling out an income-based diverse learners cash assistance program.

This grant is for $500 and can be used for anything, although it’s encouraged to use for addressing pandemic-related learning loss experienced by the child. The income eligibility requirements are similar to eligibility for STC (300% of the Federal Poverty Line).
