Cortez Masto Secured $1.6 Million for Resource Center in First Bipartisan Government Funding Package for FY24
Las Vegas, Nev. – Today, U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) joined Congressman Steven Horsford (D-Nev.-04), Congresswoman Dina Titus (D-Nev.01), North Las Vegas Mayor Pamela Goynes-Brown, and North Las Vegas Councilman Isaac Barron to celebrate the opening of the Dolores Huerta Resource Center, named in honor of the longtime labor activist and co-founder of the United Farm Workers Association. In 2024, Cortez Masto secured $1,616,279 in bipartisan government funding legislation for the completion of this project.
“Dolores Huerta is living proof that if we believe in ourselves and forge ahead with confidence, we really can change the world,” said Senator Cortez Masto. “I’m proud to have secured more than $1.5 million towards the opening of the Dolores Huerta Resource Center. I can’t think of a better way to honor her than with this community hub that will carry on her work.”
The Dolores Huerta Resource Center will provide resources and services to the North Las Vegas community, including tutoring and homework help for school-aged children, GED preparation and college readiness workshops, bilingual language classes, job search and resume writing assistance, vocational training and certification programs, and digital literacy training for all ages.
Senators Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) secured more than $184 million in Community Project Funding for FY2024 to support 100 projects across Nevada. This funding included more than $7 million for nine law enforcement projects in the state.
