DEFENSE
Governor Ned Lamont will announce over $2.5 million in funding for call capacity at 211, a resource connecting individuals to assistance programs. Additionally, he will present nearly $7 million to support homeless services, compensating for cuts due to a federal funding pause by the Trump Administration affecting the continuum of care program from HUD. A new warming center has opened at the Salvation Army headquarters in Waterbury to provide shelter for those without homes, operational through the end of March.
