Homeless Help in Connecticut

Federal Government or State of Connecticut agencies do not provide grants directly to individuals who are looking to benefit from Connecticut housing options.

But each year, United States Department of Housing and Urban Development does provide grants to governments, nonprofits, and other eligible grantees who administer various housing and community development programs including services for homeless persons.

There are many non-profits, charities, community action agencies that provide homeless services to Connecticut residents in need for shelter. As funds are available, those Connecticut homeless service organizations may offer motel vouchers, rent, utilities and utility deposits for homelessness prevention, and food referral services.
