New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced that $200 million has been awarded to more than 450 healthcare and human service providers and other community-based organizations following the impact of Superstorm Sandy with  approximately $65 million for repair, rebuilding and renovation costs, according to an article on the Medical Construction & Design website.

“This funding will help providers cover significant costs resulting from the storm, including repairs and renovation of critical facilities, unreimbursed expenses and ongoing services to impacted New Yorkers. With today’s grants, we are directing assistance to the people and communities that need it most so the state as a whole can continue to build back stronger than before,”  Cuomo said in the article. 

The federal Superstorm Sandy Social Services Block Grant is designed to cover unreimbursed expenses resulting from the storm, including social, health and mental health services for individuals, and for repair, renovation and rebuilding of healthcare facilities, mental hygiene facilities, child care facilities and other social services facilities.
