## Resource

The New Haven Pride Center, one of Connecticut’s last LGBTQ+ community hubs, has soared back from the brink—thanks to a viral “Project Phoenix” campaign that raised $500K in just 30 days. Shut down in February due to IRS debt and budget cuts, the center reopened Monday, Pride Month’s first day, with Gov. Ned Lamont and Mayor Justin Elicker praising its role as a sanctuary for resilience, belonging, and empowerment. This triumphant comeback proves that when a community rallies, no obstacle is too big—and no vital support system should be lost.
