Hartford’s Bold Moves for Community | Hartford News

Hartford’s LGBTQIA+ community is getting a major boost with $230K from the Greater Hartford Gives Foundation, funding youth programs, healthcare, arts, and a big upcoming conference—all sparked by new well-being research. Meanwhile, the old Clark Elementary site is being reimagined as 70+ veteran-focused housing units, thanks to a nonprofit stepping in for cleanup and development.
