Phoenix House facilities in New Hampshire and Rhode Island received a communications boost from local supporters. Thanks to the efforts of U.S. Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, Phoenix House Dublin Center has been slated to benefit from a federal grant, which will allow the center to develop a computer training center. In Rhode Island, the computer training of students at the Phoenix Academy at Wallum Lake has been enhanced by a generous donation of computer equipment from GTECH, a multi-national company with headquarters in Rhode Island.
