End Homelessness: State and Aid

end homelessness: The supplementary state aid fund, overseen by the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness, drew upon 600,000 in state money allocated by the state legislature and more than 338,000 provided by private donors, according to The Japan Times. Nearly all of it has been spent, administrators said. But aid at both levels has just about dried up, leaving Gonzales and many like her wondering what they are going to do next. ; Connecticut, which saw over 13,000 people arrive from the U.S. Caribbean territory after the hurricane hit in September 2017, was unique in providing almost 1 million in aid to help families after the Federal Emergency Management Agency's support ran out last year. The funding given was vital for me and allowed me not to become homeless, Gonzales said in Spanish, adding neither she nor her partner want to go back to Puerto Rico. But he said more needs to be done as families continue relocating amid a political and economic crisis in Puerto Rico. Over 1,200 people in Connecticut have been helped through the multi-organizational response to the hurricane, said Richard Cho, executive director of the coalition. (news.financializer.com).
