Rosa DeLauro at Friday’s press conference in the Hill.
Vice President Kamala Harris’s visit to New Haven on Friday was about more than just the recently passed $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan.
It was also a clear recognition and honoring of the woman who played an outsized role in making that federal pandemic relief bill a reality: the city’s longtime congresswoman, Rosa DeLauro.

Unemployed and undocumented, Sandra Lopez keeps falling further behind on rent as the state assistance she received last fall has long since run out.
Her hopes — and those of many others in the state who have fallen in dire financial straits over the past year — rest now on a soon-to-launch $235 million state rental support program designed to help keep low-income tenants afloat as the Covid-19 pandemic drags on.

Local landlord Galina Zalman: “We only use food banks.”
After taxes, utilities, repairs, and tens of thousands of dollars lost through unpaid rent amid the Covid-19 pandemic, landlord Galina Zalman said she made a total of $2,552 in 2020 — sending her to a food pantry as she struggles to keep three local rental properties afloat.
A state judge Friday granted final approval for an $18.75 million class-action settlement that will provide up to $20,000 each to hundreds of tenants displaced from the mold-infested former Church Street South apartment complex across from Union Station.
Her decision marks the end of a four-and-a-half-year legal battle spearheaded by a local civil rights attorney and tenants of the now-demolished former apartment complex, who through years of advocacy succeeded in making their former landlord pay for subjecting them to dangerous living conditions.
