Funding Approved for Improvements to HRA
This has been a priority for HRA since 2017. I am pleased that through my advocacy, and with the help of the delegation, I was able to secure the necessary funds. This is an important project that, when completed, is designed to increase safety by serving as a physical barrier from potential danger while supporting a healthy learning environment.
The Human Resources Agency of New Britain, Inc. is a multi-service non-profit organization dedicated to increasing economic self-sufficiency among individuals and families residing in greater New Britain, Bristol, and surrounding towns. Programs include a wide variety of services including early childhood education, employment and training, energy and housing, and health and wellness.
Funding in the amount of $1,100,000 was approved in item 52-O of the agenda. Among the security enhancements is a lobby redesign that will create a hub to improve and monitor traffic coordination, limit access to the building, create a more user-friendly central program application room for clients, secure windows on the ground floor, and increase line of vision for security personnel.
