Yesterday, MHC joined with non-profits from across the state to rally for increased funding to community non-profits. Despite seven years of a state surplus, the nonprofits in our state continue to be neglected and have been for nearly 20 years. Minimal increases aren't keeping up with inflation, creating more of a budget cut than an increase. We are supporting the lives of over 500,000 residents of CT and our resources are limited. I hope the stories and passion shared at the rally is being considered by the state reps and Governor but we can't solely rely on their considerations. We need to take action to ensure our programs are funded and able to provide the necessary supports and services to our communities.
