CHP CEO Renee Dobis Talks CT's Housing Crisis on WICC

Connecticut Housing Partners CEO Renee Dobis joined Melissa in the Morning on WICC for her monthly housing check-in, breaking down the United Way's new ALICE report: 570,000 Connecticut households — one in three statewide — can't afford the basics, despite being part of the workforce, from health aides to retail workers to seniors on fixed incomes.

Renee explains why a Connecticut family of four needs roughly $116,000 to get by while the average household earns $76,000, and why the state's affordability gap ranks among the worst in the country. She also previews Making Home Happen on September 29, the CHP fundraiser Melissa will MC.
