IHSP - HOMELESSNESS SUPPORT

& RENTAL ASSISTANCE

This project was established in 2005 with minimal funding from a local faith community, matched by IHSP. The Community Resource Coordinator administers the fund. This fund assists approximately 8-10 families during the year in an effort to prevent homelessness, or the need to seek alternative housing which is not readily available in Northeastern Connecticut. 

 

Program Goals

• Provide Lifestyle Kits for those who live outside of a residential environment 

• Assist homeless individuals by providing personal care items, sleeping bags and other equipment for outdoor living

• Provide emergency rental assistance to families/individuals as funds are available

• Provide support to the Generations Family Healthcare Homelessness Assistance Outreach Program

 

Requests for assistance are by appointment only and can be made by calling (860) 928-0169.
