As we all know, providers and front-line staff are seeing a rise in the number of unsheltered community members. This alarming shift is reflected state- and nation-wide, highlighting the urgent need for collaborative efforts among state agencies, communities, and homeless services providers.

 

In acknowledgment of the incredible progress we have made as a state when we have worked collectively to address homelessness, the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness (CCEH) is proud to introduce a pivotal conversation on implementing an Interagency Council on Homelessness (ICH) in Connecticut through the CT CAN End Homelessness Initiative.

 

Join us for an Interagency Roundtable Discussion with the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH)

Tuesday, September 19th, from 11:30AM to 12:30PM

 

During this session, Nichele Carver, USICH Senior Regional Advisor, will explore the importance and advantages of establishing an Interagency Council on Homelessness in Connecticut.

 

Your perspectives and insights are of immense value, shaping a more coherent and effective strategy to solve homelessness within our state. We firmly believe this discussion will reinforce existing collaborations and serve as a wellspring of inspiration for the path ahead.

Connecticut coalition to end homeless weather alert

Severe Cold Weather Alert
At the direction of Governor Ned Lamont, the Division of Emergency Management (DEMHS) within the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP), the Department of Housing (DOH), the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS), and the Department of Social Services (DSS), United Way 2-1-1, the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness, and other partners are implementing the severe cold weather protocol to ensure everyone has adequate shelter during the upcoming severe cold weather.  
The reason for the activation is the arrival of intense arctic cold in Connecticut starting tonight resulting in temperatures in the single digits and wind chill factors below zero. 
The current protocol activation will be in effect from noon today, January 10, until noon Wednesday, January 12.  
Cities or towns opening warming centers or other facilities to help those in need should following appropriate COVID sheltering protocols. If your town opens a shelter or warming center, please indicate its status on the WebEOC Daily Operations incident, which will track open warming centers and overflow or temporary emergency shelters. If you receive a call from someone looking for shelter and you are not aware of any shelter space, please direct the person to 2-1-1. Working with local shelters, 2-1-1 will act as clearinghouse to ensure that shelter space is found for those that need it.  
If you have any questions about the policies for access to shelter in your area, please contact info@cceh.org.
