We've been serving farmers since 1935 and we're always looking for opportunities to strengthen Connecticut's agricultural community.
Our employees work with farmers daily to identify assistance we can provide for their specific operations. “There are people who worked and maybe had a second job where they were able to work overtime and then COVID hit and their second job went away,” Parker said.The Connecticut division of the Farm Service Agency (FSA) offers farmers a variety of assistance through farm programs, farm loans and ad hoc disaster programs.
She said all the resources and the application are available online. Parker said they are going as fast as they can. “Right now, 24 days is our average turn around so we do want to decrease that,” she said. “From the fully submitted application, our goal is under 15 days to have somebody funded,” Parker said. That’s almost exactly four months,” Souza said.ĭawn Parker, who is the head of Unite CT, which is managing the funds for the Department of Housing, said they are funding about 700 applications per week.
“We had somebody apply March 31 and this morning when I came in, we finally got the funds. Kemple and Souza believe the process to receive federal funds should be simpler. “It’s just one more hurdle for small landlords to have to deal with when they’ve been waiting forever and ever,” Souza said. Souza said many tenants apply for the program and stop paying the landlord because they figure they will get help. “Many tenants are not internet savvy, many are not internet literate,” Souza said. In order to get approval, a tenant must fill out an application and have an email address. Only about 4,800 people have had their applications for rental assistance approved. “89,000 people, tenants in Connecticut, said that they did not anticipate being able to pay August rent and were not caught up on all the rent that was owed,” Kemple said. Kemple said the state is aiming to get the money out within 14 days, but that has not been the case. “I know there’s many landlords with four or five months lag from the time they first apply to when they get any money,” Souza said.
