Program Highlights—Story of one family served by DHCC this month (names changed) A Point of Entry and Coordinated Access Success Story “John” John was referred to ARC by the local City Welfare office. He had been living in his car for the past few months after losing his job, and being evicted from his apartment. After several attempts of trying to get back on his feet, John began to seek assistance. He came to ARC requesting assistance finding housing and a Security Deposit. Housing Advocate met with John to conduct intake and Needs and Assessment. John had been dealing with some health issues and living in his car which was not helping his condition. It was imperative that he find housing as soon as possible. Housing Advocate reviewed John’s income and expenses. John had been receiving unemployment and was bringing in a decent amount of money; however he was paying a lot of money in child support. Housing Advocate advised John to meet with Legal Aid to see if he could reduce his child support payments since he wasn’t working. Housing Advocate also noticed that John was not receiving food stamps and spending a lot of money on food and eating out. Housing Advocate encouraged John to apply for food stamps and in the mean time take advantage of utilizing soup kitchens and food pantries when he could in order to save money. Housing Advocate continued to work with John in his search for housing. With John cutting back on some of his expenses, and getting his child support payments reduced, Housing Advocate and John were able to establish an affordable rent amount that wouldn’t exceed his budget. Housing Advocate began a housing search for John in the Danbury area that wouldn’t exceed his budget. Housing Advocate also connected John to well known landlords who work with ARC on a regular basis. Within two weeks of coming to ARC, Housing Advocate and John were able to find an apartment that didn’t exceed his budget. Housing Advocate met with the Landlord and conducted the apartment inspection to ensure the apartment met all CT-Habitability requirements. Housing Advocate also met with John and the new landlord to review the lease and tenants rights and responsibilities to ensure John had full understanding of his responsibilities as a tenant. Once John was in full understanding of his lease and his tenant rights and responsibilities he was ready and excited to move in and finally be off the streets. ARC was able to supply John with a security deposit for his new apartment and remains stably housed. 3 CITY OF DANBURY DANBURY, CONNECTICUT 06810 DEPARTMENT OF ELDERLY SERVICES COMMISSION ON AGING ELMWOOD HALL 10 Elmwood Place (203) 797-4686 DATE: April 28, 2014 TO: Honorable Mayor Mark D.

    Western Connecticut State University Instilling the desire for life-long learning CUPOLA FORSPRING GIVING 2020OPPORTUNITIES AT WCSU, VISIT WCSU.EDU/GIVING wcsu.edu1 Cupola On the cover Two new observers of campus life — permanently installed in the landscape of the Visual and Performing Arts Center — were created by Kent artist Joy Brown. Brown finds inspiration in traditional Japanese wood- fired ceramics. “For 40 years, my work with clay has challenged and nurtured me, enriched and transformed my life,” Brown said. “The work has evolved from vessels and animal shapes to the human-like forms and abstract wall reliefs of recent years. The changes have come out of my relationship to the materials and process — the clay, kiln, firing, and my changing intentions. For the past 20 years I have also been working in bronze — most recently in China, where I’ve made larger-than-life figures for public spaces. My figures speak to me of that peaceful place in myself — calm, open, aware.” Joy Brown working in her Kent studio creating one of a pair of sculptures that now reside on the Westside campus near the School of Visual and Performing Arts. 2 THE CUPOLA | SPRING 2020 | WESTERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY Contents Night for the Arts was a night to remember ...........4 Department of Art earns accreditation .................4 WCSU FOUNDATION John Trentacosta, Chair Sixth WCSU student wins Fulbright Scholarship .....5 Theresa Eberhard Asch ’64 & ’72, Vice Chair Missy Alexander Scott Brunjes ‘85 Biology student awarded Goldwater Scholarship ...6 Anthony Caraluzzi, Director Emeritus Anthony Cirone Jr., ‘88 Two earn Barnard Distinguished Student Award ....6 John B.

    2021 Baseball Letter from the Athletic Director Dear Friends of UConn Avery Point Baseball: I offer my sincerest greetings as the 2021 season kicks off for our baseball program at the University of Connecticut Avery Point. Pointers There certainly have been a lot of changes in the world since the team took the field to start the 2020 season. Pointers However, we are excited to see our Pointers back out on the field for action this spring on the heels of a 2020 campaign that was cut short after just five games due to the pandemic. With a mix of student-athletes in their first, second or third academic years here at Avery Point, I believe that we’re looking ahead towards a strong season. Coach Ratchford and his staff have assembled a fine group of student-athletes that has already achieved great things academically in the last 12 months. Last year’s team posted a 3.3 combined GPA in the spring, 2020 semester and closed the year by earning NJCAA All-Academic Team Honors. This year’s squad followed that up by notching a 3.28 team GPA in the fall semester. Despite some changes to participating teams in the region and across New England, we have assembled another competitive schedule here in 2021. Thank you for your continued support of UConn Avery Point athletics. Go Pointers!

  • Greater Danbury Open House Day Art, Culture, and History June 9
    Greater Danbury Open House Day Art, Culture, and History June 9, 2012 at various venues in Danbury, Bethel and New Fairfield, CT http://greaterdanburyopenhousday.wordpress.com [email protected] On June 9, 2012, Arts Network of Danbury invites the public to Greater Danbury Open House Day (GDOHD), a celebration of art, culture and history in association with Connecticut’s statewide Open House Day. Eleven venues around Danbury, Bethel, and New Fairfield will be open to the public with art and museum exhibits, dance classes, music, artist demonstrations, and sporting events. Many of the venues and activities are free to the public and others are offered at reduced admission. A kids passport with questions and quizzes about each exhibit or activity will be available at the venues. Children can then have their passports stamped at each location after completing the challenge associated with it. A printable version of the passport will be available on the GDOHD website as the event date approaches. GDOHD is the inaugural event coordinated by the Arts Network of Danbury (AND), a grassroots group devoted to promoting arts and culture in Danbury. AND’s members are artists, arts businesses, teachers, and historical organizations. The organization formed in early 2012 with assistance from Housatonic Valley Cultural Alliance and CityCenter Danbury. In brainstorming about creating an arts and culture-based event in Danbury, members decided to sign up as a group for Connecticut’s Open House Day, an event sponsored by the Connecticut Department of Tourism, now in its eighth year. “It’s great to have Danbury area artists and cultural institutions working together to make something happen on the same day,” said Mark Savoia, photographer and co-owner of The Gallery at Still River Editions.
