CT Experience 6,000 People Homelessness Annually

Connecticut's homelessness crisis was discussed with Sarah Fox, CEO of the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness. Fox highlighted that over 6,000 people experience homelessness annually, with more than 8,000 over a year. Key causes include affordability issues, with 30% of shelter residents exceeding their income and 22% living doubled up. The coalition's legislative agenda seeks $123.9 million to prevent, respond to, and house homeless individuals. Fox also promoted the "Coldest Night of the Year" walk in Hartford on February 26, which raises funds for advocacy and services. Interested participants can register at CNOY.com/Hartford
