Bridgeport Official calls on the state to keep warm -up centers open during cold weather

Bridgeport City Council woman Jeanette Herron urges the state to help the city keep warm -up centers opening directly during cold weather even when the state is not under an emergency in cold weather.

“We have warm -up centers, we have shelters, but there is not enough money to ease them. We have caused agencies to talk in Hartford and I give them kudos because we are 10% short on the funds for all the homeless initiatives here There is a surplus in Hartford

Herron thanked State Representative Antonio Filipe from Bridgeport for working to ensure such financing and said it is “Mission Critical.”
