Thrilled to see @GovNedLamont supporting Just Cause Eviction protections - it's right move for residents If it passes, this may end up being one of the most consequential decisions on housing of his tenure @GinnyMonk @CTMirror ctmirror.org/2026/04/23/ct-…

Staff on the frontlines solving homelessness in CT are often on the brink themselves Our recent survey found 1 in 3 ran out of food between paychecks in 2025 In a wealthy place like CT, this is a choice, but we can make a different one 📝 hil.thehousingcollective.org/impact/2025-ho…

Northwest CT residents need support as housing prices rise & we are building to meet needs. Our Jocelyn Ayer: “None of this would be possible without the many volunteers who serve on the boards of these local housing nonprofits & town housing commissions.” bit.ly/4teQsSN

The quality of a society is judged by how it treats elderly people. In the US older adults are the fastest-growing demographic experiencing homelessness. It doesn't have to be this way - we can make better choices & change this. @urbaninstitute ⬇️ housingmatters.urban.org/articles/9-fac…

We all want safe, stable communities where everyone can live, yet our homelessness response teams are often underpaid, overworked & on the brink of homelessness themselves. Our new statewide survey of 300+ staff outlines the issue & offers solutions 📝 bit.ly/CTHomelessness…

"CT already knows what works. What’s missing is scale and commitment...We can keep paying more for homelessness after it happens, or we can spend less, sooner, to stop it from happening at all." Our op-ed w/@CCFairfieldDOB in @CTMirror ctmirror.org/2026/03/13/ct-…
