Senator Richard Blumenthal says he's going to be pushing for new federal funding in 2024 to assist local nonprofits that help families stay warm during the winter. 
Blumenthal says organizations - like Bridgeport's Monitor My Health - play an important role in preventing financial issues from becoming mental health issues. 
The head of Monitor My Health says a big part of staying healthy is avoiding stress. The nonprofit works to help people heat their homes -- as well as stay healthy by eating nutritious foods.
