Hurricane Ida Resources

The First Unitarian Society of Westchester’s building was devastated by flooding from the remnants of hurricane Ida. Their small congregation is seeking a new home and would be interested in exploring a space sharing agreement with another church or nonprofit organization.

New HHS Guidance and Funding: Important Update From Cerini & Associates

Between last year and the beginning of this year, the US Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) issued three rounds of Provider Relief Funds (PRF) to assist healthcare providers that were negatively impacted by the COVID Pandemic. These funds were to cover both COVID related expenses, as well as decreases in overall revenue. Last week, HHS issued new guidance surrounding these relief funds, including the release of a fourth round of funding.
