36% “Just Getting By”

Posted to: Health
A third of New Haveners in the city’s poorest neighborhoods report are barely making ends meet, and 15 percent are finding it difficult to pay the bills.
That’s one insight gleaned from a new survey conducted last fall by the Community Alliance for Research and Engagement at the Yale School of Public Health. CARE hired 20 outreach workers to poll 1,295 residents in six “low-resource” neighborhoods: Dixwell, West River/Dwight, Fair Haven, Hill North, Newhallville, and West Rock. Surveyers knocked on doors and asked people about their eating habits, chronic diseases, and behavior such as smoking—as well as economic stressors that may affect health.

Mario Garcia, the city’s health director, said the findings were “no surprises” in the data, but that they will inform how the city allocates money on health-related programs. And they will help the city make a case for outside funding for New Haven’s health needs.
CARE and community groups will be discussing the results from 6 to 7:30 p.m., along with free childcare and healthy dinner, at the following locations:
