Dear Neighbor,

On Monday, I joined several advocates and legislators for a press conference to address President Trump's homelessness order. 

Earlier this year, Rep. Laurie Sweet of Hamden and I formed the first ever End Homelessness Caucus. The goal of this caucus is to push for legislation that will eradicate homelessness from the state, as well as strengthen resources for those who are currently without a home. 

I am grateful that Connecticut is full of individuals who are ready and willing to fight for this issue. The End Homelessness Caucus made some great strides, and I believe we can build on that success during next year's session and beyond.
