Increase the Impact of Charitable Dollars!

Submitted by Jan McCray Price on August 4, 2011 - 3:48pm
After months of delays, New Haven County was recently awarded $438,240 in much needed Emergency Food and Shelter Program(EFSP) funding to assist the increasing number of individuals and families needing help with basic needs in our region. 
 
Despite this year's EFSP award being 21% ($120,000) less than New Haven County's 2010 award, funding will help sustain many households in our region struggling with food insecurity, housing and utility costs. EFSP funding also allows area emergency shelters serving single adults and families the opportunity to extend their services beyond their anticipated capacity. 
 
With Connecticut's unemployment rate at 9.1%, (just inching behind the national average of 9.2%), and in the face of deep impending cuts to state programs as a result of the Debt Ceiling deal brokered by our nation's leaders and a recession that seems to stick like glue, will this funding provide the level of service needed in our community? Surely not!
