BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - Bangor City Councilors have approved $77,000 in ARPA funds that will benefit two local organizations. The Bangor Area Homeless Shelter will receive $10,000 for its Diversion Program. The council also approved another proposal from the shelter, but they opted to use a Community Development Block Grant for the $10,000 request for the shelter's warming center. $67,000 will go to Eastern Area Agency on Aging to combat food insecurity. The council also elected to gather more information before deciding on application requests from Penobscot Community Health Care, the Maine Multicultural Center, and Wabanaki Public Health and Wellness.
