Warren County Designates ARPA Funds For Mental Health Programs

Warren County has directed $1.1 million from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to nine mental health programs. WAIT House, a non-profit for homeless and at-risk youth, is one of the recipients. It has seen a rise in trauma, mental health, and substance use issues among local youth in the past three years. The organization has been granted $88,517, which will be used to employ a social worker to help youth and families access necessary services.
