EOC administers federal, state, and county grants including Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), Head Start federal funding, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), NY Medicaid 1115 Waiver coordination, and disaster relief grants (e.g., CARES Act, Excluded Workers Fund, Hurricane Ida recovery). Annual audited budget of $13+ million. The 2019 Head Start grant awarded $41,765,305 over 5 years ($8,353,061 annually).
2. Donations and Charitable Contributions: The agency accepts public donations via its Donate page and donor dashboard. Donations support youth programming, food pantries, and general operations. The Hempstead CAP Youth Council also conducts fundraisers (e.g., Applebee's flapjack fundraiser) to supplement youth initiatives.
3. Program Fees and Registration: Limited fee-based revenue from programs such as the Summer Youth Program, youth employment wages, and after-school programming. Many services are provided at no cost to income-eligible families.
