Housing Initiatives
Creating Sustainable Communities, One Home at a Time is pleased to announce that we have selected the non profit The CT Coalition to End Homelessness.to be the recipient of our sponsorship funding. Their mission statement is the following: “The Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness, (CCEH) in partnership with members and communities throughout the state, creates change through leadership, advocacy, and building the capacity of members and the field to respond to environmental challenges. Our collective mission is to prevent and end homelessness in Connecticut” “CCEH provides grassroots organizing and technical assistance for Community Plans to End Homelessness. We help providers and community stakeholders work together – more effectively and efficiently – to end homelessness through embracing best practices and working as a team.” CSC is excited to be a contributing partner to a statewide non profit that is working to provide safe, permanent and affordable housing for all residents.
