St. Agnes to receive funding for repairs

State Representative Joe Verrengia and State Senator Beth Bye announced that the Saint Agnes Home in West Hartford is expected to receive much needed funding for improvements and repairs. The $15,820 grant-in-aid for improvements is expected to be approved at the next meeting of the State Bond Commission scheduled for Jan. 25. The funding will be used for fire alarm upgrades and plumbing repairs.
"Supporting local non-profits who in turn support our local citizens in their time of need is a responsibility I'm proud the state consistently delivers on," said Rep. Verrengia.
"The St. Agnes Home has been an important community resource for years. This funding is welcome news," said state Sen. Bye.
The Saint Agnes Home was established in 1914 by the Sisters of Mercy, with help from the St. Agnes Home Guild. Its mission is to provide residential care and supportive services for pregnant and parenting adolescent mothers and their infants.#end
