Federal grant money that keeps Boys and Girls Club and YMCA sites open after school is on hold.
The YMCA in Knoxville is losing $170,000 for this upcoming school year and $500,000 over the next three years, directly impacting 149 children and over 100 families that depended on the childcare they need after school.”
...
Boys and Girls Clubs are set to lose about $1.1 million, which impacts around 750 children at 13 of their locations. The organization is working to ensure that they are in a stable place to continue delivering services to the children and families, despite the unpredictability and turbulence of federal funding.
But, hey, they'll give tax breaks to the rich and corporations.
