Sen. Lewis secures $200,000 in funding for Triangle, Inc.

  State Senator Jason Lewis led the effort to secure $200,000 in funding for Triangle’s School to Career Program as part of the Fiscal Year 2023 state budget. This funding will support efforts that connect special education students with disabilities to services designed to enhance their job and career opportunities and enrich their local communities. The FY23 state budget has been signed into law by Governor Charlie Baker.

  Triangle, Inc. is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Malden that empowers people with disabilities and their families to enjoy rich, fulfilling lives. Triangle was established in 1971 by business leaders and families who believe we are all people with ability. In FY21, Triangle provided job training, placement and support services to more than 300 individuals with intellectual disabilities, and it provided services to 1,022 students with disabilities through partnerships with more than 40 school districts.

  “Every person deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, and to have the opportunity to live up to their full potential,” said Senator Lewis. “I’m very pleased to have been able to assist Triangle with securing state funding that supports such an important and worthy program.”
