Dear Neighbor,

Happy New Year! We had many legislative victories in 2025, and I look forward to building on that success in 2026.

Cold Weather Protocol Activated 

Connecticut's severe cold weather protocol has been activated until noon on Sunday, January 4. Temperatures will dip into the single digits at times during the overnight hours.

The protocol gives our most vulnerable a lifeline – ensuring that anyone can receive shelter from the outdoors. If you need a warm place to stay, visit 211ct.org or call 2-1-1 to find available locations. Transportation can be provided if necessary.

Generation Power Energy Assistance Opens Today

The Generation Power CT (GPCT) Emergency Energy Assistance Program will open today, January 2nd, and will run through January 10th. This program provides a one-time grant of up to $500 to help eligible Connecticut households with electric, gas, or fuel expenses. 
 
Increasing energy costs are a challenge for many in the state, but through this program, GPCT has helped to provide families across Connecticut with secure access to heat, power, and water.

All GPCT energy programs are available to income-eligible households making up to 75% SMI gross household income. Each income-eligible household that receives a GPCT Energy Assistance Award will receive up to $500 toward a future fuel delivery or toward a past-due utility bill. For the best chance of approval, and to make full use of this once-per-12-months grant, GPCT strongly encourages households to apply for assistance when you are most in need. After the January application period, GPCT has one remaining Energy Assistance Application Cycle this season:

  • March 2nd-10th 

To learn more about eligibility requirements and application materials, go to: gpct.org/gethelp/.


I hope you have a happy 2026 full of health and good things for you and your family throughout the year - Happy New Year!

Sincerely,

Dominique Johnson
State Representative
