Event Description

On March 31st from 6-7pm, Environment Connecticut and our allies are gathering to host a Clean Water Reception to thank the vocal leaders for clean water across the state. Currently, 52% of Connecticut’s streams are without the federal backing of the Clean Water Act. Fortunately, last March, the EPA proposed a rule that would restore Clean Water Act protections to all of these. Connecticut’s elected officials have been champions for the rule, with vocal leaders including Senator Blumenthal, Senator Murphy, and Representative DeLauro.

Now, it is up to concerned citizens, small businesses, and community leaders to gather and show support for this proposed rule. On March 31st, from 6-7 pm, folks with gather at the New Haven Free Public Library’s Wilson Branch to show their support for protecting Connecticut’s waterways. This event is open to the public and free of charge. Come learn about water issues in the state, meet other concerned citizens, and say thank you to our officials working to protect our state’s waterways.

New Report: A Close Look at the Reality of Community Violence Interrupters

Dr. Kathryn Bocanegra and Dr. Shani Buggs, eminent researchers and experts on the work of community violence intervention, have published, together with LISC, Supporting the Frontline Through Community Healing: Advancing Science on Violence Intervention Outreach and Trauma Exposure. The study, focused on safety efforts in Kansas City, MO, is a deeply researched and compassionate look at the trauma CVI workers confront every day and how to support the field so that practitioners “are protected from the same harms they work to prevent.”

“A Gateway for Possibilities”: Resident Leadership and Community Ownership

LISC's Institute for Community Power has published a new Spotlight examining three leadership development programs designed and implemented by LISC and local partners for distinct communities in different parts of the country: Training the Trainers (T4T) in Houston; the Newark Resident Leadership Academy (NRLA); and Community Connectors in Philadelphia. Each group has leveraged the leadership program to inform and strengthen their work and, in turn, to serve their communities more effectively.

Mobile Home Residents in Washington State Are Calling the Shots After Buying Their Park

Manufactured housing, which 20 million Americans call home, is one of the few affordable housing options in the United States. The residents of two Washington State mobile home communities recently succeeded in purchasing their parks with help from ROC USA and over $2 million in financing from Rural LISC. As a result, they have been able to stabilize their housing costs, upgrade their communities and remain in the places they love.
