Honored to Stand with United Way for #211Day at the State Capitol!
Yesterday, I had the privilege of hearing firsthand from individuals whose lives have been transformed by CT 211, as well as the dedicated professionals working tirelessly to connect people with critical resources. The demand for 211 has surged 300% since 2019—even without factoring in COVID-related calls—proving just how essential this lifeline has become for those in crisis.
More than just a referral service, 211 offers a voice on the other end of the line—a real person, ready to listen and help in moments of need. Whether it’s housing, food assistance, mental health support, or crisis intervention, one call can change a life.
We must do everything we can to support and strengthen this vital resource. Grateful for the opportunity to listen, learn, and advocate for policies that ensure every Connecticut resident has access to the help they need—when they need it most.
