GVI's Urban Farming Extravaganza - CT Voices for Children - Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center

Jul 23, 2023, 12:15 PM

We're inviting you back out to the Reservoir Community Farm to attend next weekend's Green Village Initiative (GVI) First Urban Farming Extravaganza connecting farmers and gardeners to engage in beginner and intermediate hands-on workshops with the goal of growing knowledge and interconnection, rooted in our shared goal to feed our loved ones and communities.

Next — are you aware that right now, Connecticut lacks about 89,000 units of housing that are affordable and available to its lowest income renters, and the toll an escalating eviction crisis is taking on our economy, workforce, public health, education systems and quality of life? To get a better scope on the damage, we're bringing in a key research fellow at CT Voices for Children to unpack their latest report on the eviction crisis and how we'll need to address it.

And we're closing introducing the CEO of the Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center network to talk about how they are delivering a wide range of physical, mental, dental and wellness services to neighborhoods who need it the most. We'll also celebrate their newest project - the Dixwell Q-House.
