Milford’s Beth-El Center Receives IOREBTA Funding

(MILFORD) — Last week, the Connecticut Housing Advisory Committee announced funding allocations for several non-profits that provide shelter and housing resources for refugees, the homeless, victims of domestic violence, and more. In their announcement, Milford’s Beth-El Center was awarded $10,000 to support their mission to serve in-need residents of the Greater New Haven area.

Applications for this funding were submitted to the Housing Advisory Panel who collaborates with the CT Housing Finance Authority to finalize a grand list of qualified non-profits. Funding for this program is then issued through the Interest on Real Estate Brokers Trust Account (IOREBTA) Program which has been known to support middle- and working-class homebuyers throughout Connecticut.

“I am excited to see this funding support Milford’s own Beth-El Center,” said State Representative Kathy Kennedy (R-MILFORD). “Beth-El sets a tremendous example not only as a non-profit, but as a community resource for so many of our residents and families. Whether it’s providing shelter, meals, warmth, or childcare, I am so grateful to the Beth-El Center for representing our district as a true haven of hope for many.”

The Beth-El Center is located at 90 New Haven Avenue and offers services including a Shelter Program, Family Program, Homelessness Outreach, Supportive Housing, No-Freeze Shelter, and a Soup Kitchen. For more information, please visit: Bethelmilford.org.
