Our Organization Provides A Safe and Trusting Environment For All
Since 1984, our shelter has been a refuge for thousands of individuals and families experiencing homelessness. The largest program of its kind in the State of Connecticut, the shelter is able to serve up t0 108 people each night, but in an emergency situation the shelter can serve an additional 16 individuals. Our shelter services go beyond a hot shower, a clean bed, and a safe place to restore: On a daily basis, our shelter guests are offered individualized and comprehensive case management services so they can obtain the tools and resources necessary to overcome their housing challenges.
We not only operate to ensure that individuals and families experiencing homelessness receive basic needs and housing, but also to help them find sustainable solutions to overcome homelessness and successfully reintegrate into the community at large. By providing these services and cooperatively partnering with other providers, we are helping people end their cycle of homelessness.
On average 90 adults and nine families with children find refuge and support at our Shelter every night.
