DataHaven celebrated its 30th anniversary on Monday with its release of the 2024 Community Wellbeing Survey. Our President and CEO Karen DuBois-Walton helped break down the data with Dr. Mark Schaefer of the Connecticut Hospital Association and Yale School of Public Health’s Megan Ranney. The survey shows historically high rates of food and financial insecurity since the lapsing of pandemic relief. It also reveals areas of hope. Residents report high rates of satisfaction with living in Connecticut and in their neighborhoods. The Foundation looks forward to using this data in the coming year to bring our community together and focus our collective resources on improving wellbeing in all of our neighborhoods.

Yesterday was Election Day and, no matter how one might feel about the results, it represents a shared community experience. It also represents a time of changing leadership. It represents changing priorities in some areas and continuation in others. It offers opportunities for people to collectively define themselves, change priorities, listen to each other, and to build coalitions, collectives and COMMUNITY. This is work that The Community Foundation is here for. As I settle in during this momentous week, I am energized by the role we can play in continuing to bring people together in Greater New Haven. I believe in the strength of our community. And I look forward to us collectively taking advantage of the opportunities that lie in front of us during this time of change and transition. In gratitude, Karen DuBois-Walton President and CEO of The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven
