Connecticut ends chronic homelessness among veterans
NEWINGTON, Conn. (WTNH) — Governor Malloy, the U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and members of the Congressional delegation visited with veterans at Victory Gardens veterans’ housing complex near VA hospital in Newington on Thursday touting a major breakthrough.
“We are the first state in the nation to end chronic homelessness among veterans,” said Gov. Dannel Malloy, D-Conn.
Also there Thursday were the foot soldiers, state and federal employees and volunteers that have made this happen by actually going out and finding homeless veterans.
“Often times, people will call a hotline if they encounter someone who’s experiencing homelessness,” said Dr. David Rosenthal of the Errera Community Center in West Haven.
