The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6107, aims to enhance the collaboration between food pantries and homeless shelters in Connecticut to better serve needy residents. It seeks to amend section 17b-790c of the general statutes by expanding the responsibilities of the food and nutrition policy analyst at the Commission on Women, Children, Seniors, Equity and Opportunity. The new duties will include promoting coordination and cooperation between food banks and homeless shelters, thereby improving access to food and resources for individuals in need.

The bill emphasizes the importance of ensuring that vulnerable populations have adequate access to essential resources. By formalizing the role of the food and nutrition policy analyst in fostering these partnerships, the legislation aims to create a more integrated support system for those facing food insecurity and homelessness. The proposed changes reflect a commitment to addressing the needs of the community through improved resource management and collaboration among service providers.
