Why We Funded This
In late 2023, the difficult decision was reached to sunset Prescription Assistance funding in Connecticut, following the acknowledgement that there is no longer a partner in northwest Connecticut to manage the program, strategic opportunity in limiting unrestricted funds allocated to this program, and with the frank reality that New York’s needs outpace Connecticut’s in this area. This funding was disbursed with the intent to partially cover indirect costs associated with program administration and the mutual understanding that participating towns would provide this security to their clients for a minimum of three-months.
