Rep. Grijalva announces $82,500 for Campesinos Sin Fronteras
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - On Monday, Arizona Representative Raul M. Grijalva announced $82,500 in grant funding for Campesinos Sin Fronteras.
The funding comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) as part of a $110 million initiative to improve local health care facilities across the nation.
By comparison, the Rural Development investment will rehabilitate and equip a building in Gadsden, Arizona with the necessary furniture and equipment.
This will provide critical health care services to the area.
Furthermore, the project will enable Campesinos Sin Fronteras to expand their COVID education, testing, and more to low-income farming communities.
For the most part, the funds are through the American Rescue Plan Act. This helps rural areas expand access to health care services.
“This latest in federal funding will provide much needed support to expand availability of testing and care for the Gadsden area,” said Grijalva.
Likewise, “I’m proud to support increased investments and access to critical health care services for rural, tribal, and low-income communities, and am happy to see these funds being used to meet critical health needs throughout our state.”
