"Last year, the food rescue organization recovered 1.5 million pounds of food worth $3.75 million.

"More than 1 in 10 adults in Greater New Haven experience food insecurity at some point during the year. 28% of Latine adults and 20% of Black adults in the region experience food insecurity. 14% of Greater New Haven residents stayed home in 2020 because they did not have reliable transportation."

"Throughout history, people of color in the United States have experienced discrimination and maltreatment when it comes to education, employment, housing, healthcare, and mass incarceration, among others. It is through these and other systems that structural racism is maintained as a result of historical actions that continue to be felt today. Because of this, these marginalized communities have dealt with poverty and food insecurity at a much higher rate than white people. In fact, Black people are two times more likely to experience poverty than the overall population of the United States, and the percentage only increases for women of color."

"Light pollution may not appear at first as something that is a major threat to humans or to the environment – when in reality it has severe adverse effects and degrades environmental quality. Many researchers and environmentalists consider light pollution to be one of the fastest and more pervasive forms of environmental pollution. "

"Gov. Ned Lamont signed a bill aimed at protecting birds and the night sky in Connecticut from the harmful effects of light pollution. Act 23-143 requires all state-owned buildings to dim nonessential outdoor lights after 11pm year-round for birds. It also directs the CT Code and Standards Committee to consider a change to the lighting requirements in the State Building Code."

"After nearly a decade of decreases, homelessness in Connecticut rose slightly for the second year in a row in 2023 — likely a result of sustained fallout from the pandemic, experts said. The latest point-in-time count shows that there were 3,015 people experiencing homelessness in January 2023, compared to 2,930 in January 2022. That’s close to a 3% increase, according to the report released Monday."
