JOINT RESOLUTION MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO HIGHER GROUND INTERNATIONAL TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO COMPLETE THE INITIAL PHASE OF HIGHER GROUND INTERNATIONAL'S NEW HEADQUARTERS

This bill proposes to give $450,000 to Higher Ground International, a nonprofit in Rhode Island, to help finish renovations on its new headquarters in Providence. The funds are intended as a one-time contribution to complete the initial phase of building improvements at the location on Ninigret Avenue. While the bill notes that the facility plans to offer community services like food assistance and cultural events, the legislation itself only authorizes the specific payment for construction costs.
