The state is making a key investment to give more folks a second chance by strengthening Waterbury's ongoing efforts to support substance use treatment, behavioral health, and re-entry services for adults.
| The governor and the Community Investment Fund board (CIF) approved approximately $1 million for CT Renaissance to purchase the McAuliffe Center. This funding will expand access to essential services that help individuals on the path to recovery and stability. By supporting programs that address addiction, mental health, and successful community reintegration, this initiative reinforces our city's commitment to building healthier, safer, neighborhoods. |

| Thank you to Governor Ned Lamont, the CIF 2030 board, and the Waterbury legislative delegation for their continued partnership and leadership in investing in our city's future. |

| Last week, CT Renaissance celebrated 40 years of service with the Waterbury East Work Release Program, a milestone that underscores the organization's deep roots and impact in our community. Over the decades, their skilled staff have helped thousands of individuals determine their goals, rebuild their confidence, and reclaim their lives as they re-enter the workforce and reconnect with their families. |
