Bridgeport Wins $75,000 Grant for Intergenerational Greenhouse Program Pairing Lighthouse Students With East Side Senior Center Seniors
Mayor Ganim of Bridgeport, Connecticut, announced that the city was named the second-place winner in the 2026 Healthy and Sustainable Communities Grant Awards, receiving a $75,000 grant to begin a pilot program called The Greenhouse Impact. The award was presented by the United States Conference of Mayors (USCM) in partnership with the American Beverage Foundation for a Healthy America (ABFHA).
The city said the program will be Bridgeport's first intergenerational learning experience, bringing together Lighthouse students and seniors from the East Side Senior Center to learn how to maintain a community greenhouse. Participants will learn sustainable growing practices that strengthen the local food system and foster healthy eating habits, and the program will supplement students' after-school homework support and recreation.
Ganim said the recognition and funding highlight the city's commitment to healthier and more sustainable communities, and that residents across age groups will learn about climate resiliency, access to green spaces and the city's food security objectives. The city published the announcement on November 14.
