Homeless Assistance Programs and Services

Connecticut homeless get help from regional homeless service organizations that coordinate local resources and can provide assistance to the homeless. One of the federal programs that fund most Homeless Service Organizations is the Continuum of Care (CoC). Continuum of Care is a federal program that consolidates the following Homeless Assistance programs: the Shelter Plus Care Program, the Supportive Housing Program, and the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy Program. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness by providing grants to nonprofit providers, State, and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused to homeless individuals, families, and communities.

The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness by providing grants to nonprofit providers, State, and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused to homeless individuals, families, and communities.

Connecticut Homeless Service Organizations funded by CoC assist individuals (including unaccompanied youth) and families experiencing homelessness. With the main goal of long-term stability those Connecticut homeless service organizations provide the services that are needed to help such individuals move into transitional and permanent housing. Here is a shortlist of some of Connecticut Homeless Service Organizations by county with services offered.

If you are homeless in Connecticut and need help – call the listed homeless service organization in your area.
