We are thrilled to share that Andrus has received word from the New York State Department of Health that we have been awarded $1.7 million for the renovation of our Health and Wellness Center at 35 Dock Street in downtown Yonkers.
Thanks so much to Congressman Jamaal Bowman for securing this much-needed community project funding for the Andrus Health Equity Access Fund that promotes access to mental health care for uninsured and underinsured Yonkers residents.
@JamaalBowmanNY
Andrus is pleased to announce an award of $800,000 to support the Yonkers community. The award was included in the FY2023 Omnibus Appropriations Bill, which passed both the House and Senate last month and was signed into law by the President on December 29th, 2022.@JamaalBowmanNY
Andrus is gratified to know that Governor Kathy Hochul is committed, as Andrus is, to investing in a comprehensive system of care that includes child mental healthcare, insurance coverage for the under and uninsured, and funding for our 35 school-based mental health clinics.
"We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone."
Happy National Nonprofit Day to all of our fellow nonprofits who working hard to better the communities around them!
Congressman Jamal Bowman announced earlier this week that Andrus is being considered for community funding that will enable us to provide equitable access to mental healthcare and counseling for uninsured and underinsured children and families in Yonkers.

New York State is experiencing a shortage of children’s behavioral health providers like Andrus. This link speaks to the increased need for licensed mental health professionals and their services to children experiencing emotional distress.

Successful Tuition Rate Methodology reform consists of: Stakeholder engagement in re-design; Ending reconciliation; Interim growth; and Long-term growth parity. It is critical these items be included in the enacted budget!! #ourfoundationaid
Our students’ needs must be met through a strong partnership with the state in addressing funding of our schools. @GovKathyHochul please join the Senate and Assembly, and address the challenges associated with the current tuition rate methodology in the Enacted Budget!
Thank you @NYSA_Majority and @NYSenDems for recognizing the critical need to reform the tuition rate methodology that determines funding to support special education schools! @GovKathyHochul let’s finally get this done, once and for all! #ourfoundationaid
Thank you @GovKathyHochul for proposing a $2 billion package in your #StateOfTheStateNY to help support the retention of our behavioral health workforce. ANDRUS appreciates it!
