We are thrilled to announce that ACE, in partnership with the Horticultural Society of New York (the Hort) and the Neighborhood Plaza Partnership (NPP), has been awarded a two-year grant in the amount of $800,000 from Chase to provide vocational rehabilitation services and transitional employment opportunities for ACE participants working in NYC public plazas.
Together with NPP and the Hort, ACE provides affordable, high-quality maintenance and horticultural care to public plazas throughout New York City in collaboration with the Department of Transportation Plaza Program, through which underused NYC streets are re-purposed into green and vibrant pedestrian plazas. The Chase grant will fund our vocational rehabilitation services and maintenance/beautification work in Corona Plaza, Queens, as well as the continued expansion of the plaza program to the city’s all five boroughs.
