Housing issues affect everyone in Connecticut, from those who are searching for a safe place to live, to those who may find it increasingly difficult to afford a place they already call home.WNPR is covering Connecticut's housing and homelessness issues in a series that examines how residents are handling the challenges they face. We look at the trends that matter most right now, and tell stories that help bring the issues to light.

Final Update: 100-Day Challenge to End Homelessness in Connecticut

Since March, experts and officials have been tirelessly working to advance the goal of ending chronic homelessness in Connecticut. Their efforts were part of statewide 100-Day Challenges led by the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness and Journey Home of Hartford. 

This hour, we check in with some of the people involved in those initiatives. We also meet Sal Pinna, a long-time Hartford resident who was recently housed through the 100-Day Challenge in Greater Hartford.

GUESTS:

  • Susan Campbell - Writer and Hartford Courant columnist
  • Sal Pinna - Long-time Hartford resident and an advocate for the homeless who was recently housed through the 100-day challenge in Greater Hartford
  • Lisa Tepper Bates - Executive director of the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness
  • Matt Morgan - Executive director of Journey Home
