CT Housing Coalition

The annual conference of the CT Housing Coalition met today at the new CT Convention Center in Hartford. The keynote speaker was Donna Brazile, author of “Cooking with Grease: Stirring the Pots of American Politics.” Ms. Brazile helped New Orleans residents after the Katrina hurricane, this year. Today, she spoke strongly and emotionally to advocate housing the homeless as a national priority.

Fifteen morning and fourteen afternoon workshops convened on subjects such as: reviews of Section 8, HUD, new supportive housing, Eminent Domain in CT, philanthropy, resident commissioners, resident coordinators and the “Ten Year Plan To End Homelessness.” The record number of attendees this year warranted using the large space of the CT Convention Center.
