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.
