Ray Boyd knows what it’s like to come home after decades in prison without support or guidance on how to rebuild his life.

Two affordable housing developments are a step closer to materializing in the Hill, along with the nearby revival of the old Coliseum site, thanks to approvals from the Board of Alders.
Forty-five native Spanish speakers have immigrated here and entered seventh and eighth grade at John C. Daniels School just over the past four months — and are getting up to speed fast thanks to a schoolwide effort to focus on language skills as well as family needs.

Jeff Bell wanted animosity.
“I want to feel it,” he told actor Ernest Richard. “I want it coming out of your pores. I want you to be showing him ‘I can’t stand you. You’re just a social media punk out for likes and girls.’”
The scene was a clandestine meeting in a dank, dimly lit basement reached by a flight of rickety stairs from Madeline’s Empanaderia on Spring Street. Ernest Richard was District Attorney Calvin Tubbs. His object of scorn: Tim the Truthteller, the social media influencer played by Ethan Timothy.

The city has joined forces with human rights activists in the Hill to try to convince the state to recognize prefabricated shelters in a Rosette Street backyard as “single-family homes” — at least, sort of — so that the heat and the lights can be turned on as winter approaches.
Briggs left the shelter grateful for a warm place to spend a cold New Haven night. Pizarro arrived at school with compassion and understanding that all city dwellers deserve a safe place to lay their heads.
