NEW LONDON — Connecticut Light and Power is lending its support to six Habitat for Humanity homes located throughout eastern Connecticut.
In December, CL&P donated $347,252 to Habitat for Humanity of Eastern Connecticut to support the construction or rehabilitation of six homes throughout eastern Connecticut, from as far south as Stonington to as far north as Killingly.
Connecticut Light and Power made its contribution to HFHECT through the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority’s Housing Tax Credit Contribution Program.
Through this program, businesses may donate to approved housing programs to receive a one-for-one credit to reduce their corporate state tax liability.
To date, Connecticut Light and Power has contributed over $632,000 to HFHECT through the program to support the construction or rehabilitation of a total 12 Habitat for Humanity homes in eastern Connecticut, which will ultimately shelter an estimated 48 individuals.
“Connecticut Light and Power has been a critical partner through the CHFA’s Housing Tax Credit Contribution Program,” said HFHECT’s Executive Director, Terri O’Rourke, “As Habitat for Humanity of Eastern Connecticut works to serve more local families, we are working harder to leverage all our funding sources, and CL&P’S generous support helps us make every dollar go further. We are grateful that CL&P has made affordable housing a priority.”
