Gov. Healey announced the awarding of federal funds to 56 nonprofits that are at heightened risk of an extremist attack in the Bay State.

“These faith-based and community nonprofits play such a critical role in our communities, and we are proud to deliver this funding that will help them implement security measures to keep their residents safe and ensure peace of mind,” said Gov. Healey. “We’re grateful to the Biden-Harris Administration for making this funding available to ensure these organizations can continue to serve those who depend on them, without fear or interruption.”

“Protecting our communities means safeguarding the organizations that uplift, support and inspire us daily,” said Public Safety and Security Secretary Terrence Reidy. “This funding reaffirms our commitment to protecting these essential community spaces, ensuring they remain safe havens where people of all backgrounds can gather and feel secure.”
