During the past year more than 4,000 people spent from a night or two to the whole year in an emergency shelter and nearly twice this number were turned away because there was not enough room for them. To address this need, Mayor Eddie A. Perez has led the region in developing a 10-year plan to end homelessness. The primary focus of this implementation plan includes reducing the frequency and duration of homelessness and moving more homeless into stable, permanent housing.

In Connecticut, supportive housing has enjoyed both community and political support in the last decade. The Campaign seeks to broaden this base of support in order to achieve the ambitious goal of ending homelessness as we know it. Published by Reaching Home Campaign Reaching Home Campaign
