Larson (CT-01) and Senator Richard Blumenthal announced $1 million in federal funding for the Winsted Health Center to support the construction of affordable housing and a live, work, and wellness space for veterans.\n\n\u201cEveryone deserves access to quality, affordable housing, yet far too often, our veterans return from service and struggle to secure employment and housing,\u201d said Larson. \u201cIt was my honor to work to secure funding in Congress to support the needs of Northwestern Connecticut\u2019s veterans, from housing to job training and medical care. I want to thank Kris Griffin and her team at the Winsted Health Center, alongside the countless community advocates involved in this project, for their bold vision for the future of this site.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis $1 million will enable our heroes to have housing, skill training and other services they deserve and need. There\u2019s no better venue than the Winsted Health Center to be the centerpiece for this bold, transformative program,\u201d said Blumenthal.\n\n\u201cWhat a wonderful affirmation and pledge of support from Congressman Larson for our anticipated one- of-a-kind campus where folks can learn new job skills, start their own businesses, and find safe and affordable places to live,\u201d said Winsted Health Center Executive Director Kris Griffin. \u201cCongressman Larson and his staff have been extremely helpful to us over the years, and we know this investment of federal dollars he championed for us will yield many returns for many in Winsted and beyond! We are very grateful to him.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://larson.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/larson-blumenthal-announce-1-million-veterans-affordable-housing-and"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 9.638703893870115, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
