    I live in a van in south eastern ct no drug or alcohol addiction i chose this way to live because i evacuated a hurricane living in florida and left with my 5 dogs. No one will rent to me with 5 dogs and I’m not living without them so this is my life. I dont mind it anymore its made me love my animals more and people much less.

    Connecticut is and always will be my home. The courts in Connecticut are terrible and there representatives and congress men and women are derelict in there duties and responsibilities to there people. The state police in this state are inefficient. These folks all of these folks worry about themselves and the judges follow the guidance of the same. Shameful. No good oversight and not a good place to be if you are indigent.

    I'm just seeing this now. He seems like a smart guy that got hooked, which happens to many, no matter your age and other things that happen to you. Id love to know the status, if there's a way he got help with some identification, food and some type of job. I worry about what is going to happen to many going through the Covid crisis. Is there somewhere we can donate basic essentials, food and water?

    I'm disabled and homeless 211 is useless and it's just a scam. I have a heart condition and the cold is killing me. I was referred to some lady wen I called 211 she was rude and she lied to me, she kept saying someone would come out and talk to me and then tells me they won't go to that location or the time they don't come out, but she told me to go to these locations and at that time and then said they don't come there I said you told me to go there. They give apartments to crackheads but not a disabled sober person, 211 toys with you until you get discouraged. That lady was so rude she had right to doing that job. Suicide is always a thought, I thought about doing it on the government steps with a sign saying 211 failed me and many others. I swear they deserve to know treating people like losers and jerks is 211s way and it's unfair.. I'm trying to survive in Plainville ct

      seeing all the nice stuff the guy has , he was better off not having his location given out. because if people knew where he was , they would go rob him. stuff like his hammocks , shoes , are super valuable for homeless people , and if they knew he had all that stuff he would be an instant target.
