Congressmember Nicole Malliotakis proudly announced that the Guild for Exceptional Children will receive $2 million in federal funding, a significant boost that will allow for crucial ADA renovations and upgrades to their facilities. This funding underscores the importance of supporting organizations like the GEC that provide vital services to developmentally disabled individuals and highlights the government’s commitment to improving accessibility for everyone.
Founded in 1958, the Guild for Exceptional Children began as a grassroots effort by parents and friends advocating for those with developmental disabilities. Over the years, it has transformed into a prominent advocacy agency offering community living options and was instrumental in opening Brooklyn's first group home in 1970, showcasing the evolution and impact of dedicated community efforts.
