The Connection 1/17/21

On this week’s program, hosts Ann Baldwin and Lisa DeMatteis-Lepore speak with Anne Ventimiglia, Program Director of Supportive Housing for Families at The Connection. The Supportive Housing for Families Program, started by Lisa 25 years ago, helps families thrive by finding homes in safe, nurturing neighborhoods and providing the support necessary for achieving economic independence, developing healthy relationships and a stable and caring home environment. Anne has worked with thousands of families and non-profits to break generational cycles of abuse and neglect and offers a fresh start to parents who have been separated from their children. Tune in this Sunday to hear more from Anne about the program’s humble beginnings, its growth and its importance to the state’s child welfare system.
