Rabbi Daniel recalled passing regularly by a stretch of “miserable, miserable houses” on Whalley
Avenue right past Ella Grasso Boulevard. Then a not-for-profit builder transformed the houses into a
tasteful, solid complex called Fairlawn Manor.
“It’s just a pleasure to go by there. There’s about 10 or 12 houses that [used to be] really bad, and it
was not nice to walk past there,” said Greer. “I even go out of my way sometimes and cross the street
just to walk past them.”
Greer (who has done his own share of housing revival in the Edgewood neighborhood) was
describing the work of a not-for-profit builder called Neighborhood Housing Services. He and NHS’sJim Paley were on hand Thursday to accept help to continue rebuilding New Haven’s neighborhoods.
The help came from Connecticut Light and Power (CL&P), which presented checks totaling $2.6
million to not-for-profit builders like NHS, at NHS’s Sherman Avenue headquarters. The donations will
be used to help develop affordable and supportive housing in New Haven.
Paley accepted the $500,000 check on behalf of NHS. A not-for-profit started by Daniel Greer,Edgewood Village, Inc., also received $500,000, as did Housing Operations Management Enterprises,
Greater New Haven Community Loan Fund, and NeighborWorks New Horizons (NWNH). The
Corporation for Urban Home Ownership received $100 ,000.
CL&P is the l argest contributor to the Housing Tax Credit Contribution (HTCC) Program. This year, the
company has donated $9.1 million of the $10 million program awards statewide.

Greer (at left in above photo, with Paley on right), praised CL&P for the efforts and contributions the
company has made to help not j ust New Haven, but the entire state.
“I think the word ‘statewide’ should be emphasized, because although this area [New Haven] is not
part of the territory of CL&P, the company has stepped forward and helps the [entire state], not only
within its territory,” said Greer. “I think that’s really commendable. Frankly, many of us [nonprofits] could
not exist without the help CL&P offers. Our programs would just dry up. It’s really made an impact.”
“CL&P really believes in this program,” said Thomas Dorsey (pictured), manager of CL&P legislative
affairs. “The nonprofits associated with this do great work and we’re very proud to partner with them.
We think it’s a great success.”
Gloribell Lopez, director of operations and programs for NWNH, said the donation money would help
complete a 44-unit development her organization is building.N.H.I. RSS 2.0 Feed

Yes please! More of this collaboration between wealthy corporations and nonprofit builders and
property managers. Anyone who has lived in this town for more than a minute understands what Greer
and Paley do with their organizations and we want more of that! New construction is great but rehab is
better in my book.
God bless Rabbi Greer. He and his family have saved the Edgewood neighborhood. Were it not for
their dedication and leadership, Edgewood wou ld be as bad as the West River. Thank you!
I am so glad to hear the this amount of money is going to a real nonprofit association that invest in their
selves to provide, support, knowledge and what is more important how professionals all are to treat
our community in New Haven.
I just have good experiences to say for every time I reach them. Ms Bridgette,Stephen Mike,Michael
Haynes etc.. Thank you
In my opinion this only 1 of 6 nonprofits that I really think they are here to help New Haven to be a
better place by helping people in real need for help. Comparing with hundreds of them.
“It’s a $14 million project that is in its final stages of completion,” said Lopez (pictured). “We actually
have our last tenants moving in the next couple of weeks or so, so this [donation] helps towards
funding the rest of the project.”
Carla Weil, executive director of the Greater New Haven Community Loan Fund, said CL&P’s donation
will help fund the nonprofit’s workforce housing program, which takes place in New Haven, Waterbury
and Bridgeport.
“We lend to developers who are doing projects in neighborhoods that are going to be targeted at folks
who either own or rent and work in the town where that home is being bui lt,” explained Weil (at center
in photo). “We’re trying to strengthen the local economy and also the local affordable housing market.”
