So happy we finally got some snow this year!!! It’s been a long, snowless winter 🥺

As others have said, she needs to go into a sober house. If you pay for her to get her own place, especially in a drug ridden city like New Haven, that is putting her on the express train to relapse. Of course she would prefer a studio or 1br versus going into a sober house, but it’s not on her dime, it’s on yours. I know you don’t want to set her up for failure.

Your best bet is to call somewhere like the APT Foundation and ask them if they have lists of sober houses in the area. Not to mention, rooms in sober houses are more likely to be within her (your) budget range. A quick Google search found this: https://www.womensoberhousing.com/city/ct-new_haven.html

Best of luck to you and your friend. I hope she is very grateful for your kindness.

That plus Covid happening right after its launch. What a complete and massive bust.

RIP Salsa Fresca! I loved their nachos and bbq braised beef

My electric with UI is actually $12 cheaper versus this time last year. Haven’t moved, haven’t made any changes in power usage. Gas is almost exactly the same. I guess I will consider myself lucky!

Just saw two other people also recommend CAW— glad they’re so well known! They are a great family owned company.

Look up C.A. White on Chapel St. Their two buildings the Traymore and Campus View tend to have 1 bedrooms in your budget range (if they have any openings)

If I remember correctly all the big delivery apps currently have a waiting list that is months long, unfortunately. Might be able to find work with a new app though like GoPuff or something.
