Diaper Connections Program Launching With Madonna Place
More than 30% of families in Connecticut have difficulty affording a sufficient supply of diapers for their children.
The Connecticut Hospital Association (CHA) has partnered with the Diaper Bank of Connecticut and the Connecticut Department of Housing to address diaper insecurity and diaper need through a new statewide program called Diaper Connections. Funding comes from the Community Development Block Grant program and is administered through the Connecticut Department of Housing. It uses 80% or less of area median income as a guideline for eligibility.
Backus Hospital has recently partnered with Madonna Place. Under the program, each enrolled child receives 100 diapers per month.
