The Stewart B. McKinney Men’s Emergency Shelter is moving into the former Days Inn hotel at 207 Brainard Road in Hartford. Gov. Ned Lamont said the state-funded project is meant to improve the quality of care the shelter provides. The shelter’s current location at 34 Huyshope Ave. contains a large congregate setting. The state is providing more than $3.4 million in funding for the Community Renewal Team, which owns and operates the shelter, to purchase the former hotel and create the new shelter. Construction is set to begin in October.
If there was one silver lining to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was discovering that providing services to the homeless population in a hotel was possible, according to Community Renewal Team President and CEO Lena Rodriguez.
On Friday the state bond commission approved $20 million in funds to install new flashing beacon warning systems at 16 locations across the state to prevent wrong way crashes on Connecticut’s highways and roads.
Crashes by motorists who enter a highway the wrong way, often drunk, have ballooned into a crisis in Connecticut in 2022.
