YWCA Mohawk Valley faces service cuts due to funding shortages
What happened
Dianne Stancato, CEO of YWCA Mohawk Valley, reported that the organization has received inadequate funding, which is beginning to affect its ability to serve clients. Due to the financial strain, the YWCA Mohawk Valley eliminated the position of its in-house therapist. Stancato is appealing to the Governor of New York to address the funding issues before crime victim organizations face closure.
