Jewish Schools, Agency in Williamsburg Aided by Anti-Poverty Funds
NEW YORK (JTA)—Two Jew-
ish schools and a Jewish self-help
agency in Brooklyn's Williamsburg
section are among 11 agencies
which have received funds for anti-
poverty programs for the year
starting April 1. The three Jewish
agencies have been granted a total
of $160,665 out of $632,491 for all 11
agencies in the area.
The 11 agencies were among 14
whose poverty programs were rec-
ommended for funding to the City
Council Against Poverty by the
Williamsburg Community Corp.,
one of 25 such locally-elected or-
ganizations in areas designated as
poverty sections, according to
Rabbi Bernard Weinberger, the
only Orthodox Jewish member of
the Council Against Poverty. He is
•
also rabbinical consultant to the
YM-YWHA of Williamsburg, which
provides many programs for the
poor in the area.
The Williamsburg Corp. is one of
two such organizations - in New
York City with substantial Jewish
representation on their boards and
operating personnel. The other is
the recently-established Crown
Heights Corp., also in Brooklyn.
Both areas have a substantial num-
ber of Hasidic Jewish residents.
The three Jewish agencies are
.
the Bnos Yakov Educational Cen-
ter for Girls, which was grant-
ed $53,558; the United Talmu-
dical Academy, which was given
$45,000; and the United Jewish
Organization, which received
$62,107. While the grants are for
the year beginning April 1, only
half of each grant has been
available to the 11 agencies,
pending a review in October to
determine future funding for the
projects. Under law, projects
must be carried out on a non-
sectarian basis.
As the United Jewish Organiza-
tion, the new grant will enable
continuation of _an action program
aimed at helping residents to ob-
tain all the benefits of welfare pro-
grams to which they are legally
entitled. Prior to creation of the
UJO, many Jewish poor residents
either did not know they were eli-
gible for such programs as Medic-
aid, housing and similar programs
or did not know how to find their
way through the city, state and
federal bureaus to apply for such
assistance. The bulk of the per-
sons being aided by the UJO are
Jews.
