Social-service grants: board hears committee recommendation to raise homeless hospitality funding and notes new UCP request
Summary
Board received a report from the social service grants committee: a notable increase for homeless hospitality and a reduced award for UCP (Quaker Hill) after a new $10,000 request; members were advised the committee recommends aligning awards with longstanding recipients like Connecticut Arc.
Chair reported on social-service grants committee outcomes, telling the board the largest increase in the committee's recommendations was for homeless hospitality programs and that the committee reduced a request from UCP at Quaker Hill after a first-time application for $10,000. The chair said the committee had sought consistency with Connecticut Arc's longstanding $1,500 contribution.
The chair asked board members to alert staff if they had questions so applicants could be invited to the meeting when needed. The board will see the social-service grants agenda item at a future meeting and the chair said staff would coordinate appearances if members requested them.
