The Henry Stern Center, a 36-unit congregate housing rental project within Trumbull”™s Stern Village senior housing development, has received a $1,072,234 million grant from the state to modernize its heating and ventilation systems.
The funds will be used to improve energy efficiency through the purchase of a new boiler, the installation of new individual unit temperature controls and a hallway fresh air ventilation system. The development is also slated to receive living-unit high energy efficient heat pump systems to provide heating and air conditioning to all building spaces, as well as bathroom accessibility improvements.
“This federal funding is essential to low- and moderate-income residents and without these dollars, we would likely be unable to assist as many of our low- and moderate-income residents as they make these kinds of repairs,” Housing Commissioner Seila Mosquera-Bruno said.
