Rhode Island State Steps in to Support Boys & Girls Club Summer Programs Amid Federal Grant Freeze Due to a freeze on federal grants by the Trump administration, summer programs run by the Boys & Girls Club in Rhode Island faced threats of closure. In response, the state government intervened by providing funding to ensure these community youth programs could continue operating during the summer months, particularly supporting locations such as East Providence.

Yo, Rhode Island fam, the state’s steppin’ up to save Boys & Girls Club summer programs after a federal grant freeze. Good on ‘em, but why’s fed money always so shaky? Shouldn’t kids’ futures come before politics? What’s your take, peeps? #RIKids #LocalSupport

R.I.’s waitlist for Early Intervention services sees big drop after funding boost - The Boston Globe For years, Rhode Island has not been in compliance with federal law requiring children with developmental delays be evaluated within 45 days.

Thanks to the @rihouseofreps.bsky.social, RI House, and @govdanmckee.bsky.social's administration for your smart investments in Early Intervention—they’re working.
