New Haven County short term and transitional housing.

Housing programs assist low income families and the homeless across New Haven County. Some centers are widely available while others focus on assisting veterans, single parents, seniors, or the disabled. Whether a New Haven non-profit can help you or not with your housing needs, at the minimum most of them will provide referrals or information to other area resources.

In addition to using the transitional housing site, residents can usually enroll into other assistance programs. These range widely and can include free meals, job search assistance, budgeting, and more. The overall goal is to provide shelter/housing for the family while they regain self-sufficiency. At that time they can get assistance in locating a new home in New Haven Connecticut. There may even be some government programs that can help them pay a security deposit or first months rent.
