The Community Health Center Association of Connecticut (CHCACT) is pleased to announce the hiring of Deb Polun of West Hartford as its new Chief Strategy Officer.
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont extended the deadline for LIHEAP assistance, but state funds for relief remain unspent. Critics say the state was too frugal.
The state will extend a key deadline for seeking winter heating assistance from March 15 to March 31, Gov. Ned Lamont recently announced.
But the administration also confirmed less than two weeks be.
The Lamont administration projects the state budget will close June 30 with roughly $2.8 billion left over, a whopping cushion equal to about 13% of the General Fund.
Department of Social Services Commissioner Deidre Gifford said the $30 million in state funds that legislators committed last week for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program will translate into more aid, on average, per household.
