Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R) — who represents the 21st Congressional District, covering northern New York — recently announced the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe will receive a U.S. Department of Education grant of $558,679.

The tribe plans to use the funding for vocational rehabilitation services for individuals with disabilities to prepare for and engage in gainful employment, including self-employment, telecommuting, or business ownership, according to Stefanik’s office.

“I am proud to announce that these taxpayer dollars will be returned to our district to support members of the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe with disabilities,” Stefanik said in a Sept. 24 statement. “These funds will help prepare and equip members of the tribe to engage in the workforce.”
