HOMEConnecticut: HOMEConnecticut is a statewide campaign aimed at increasing the stock of affordable housing in Connecticut. The campaign was created to preserve the quality of life and the strong, competitive economy that has distinguished Connecticut, but which is now threatened by a dramatic lack of housing affordable to working families and individuals. Leaders in business, banking, academia, land use, housing and government have come together as the steering committee of HOMEConnecticut to identify solutions to the state's housing affordability problems.

Reaching Home Campaign: The goal of the Campaign to End Long-Term Homelessness in Connecticut is to create 10,000 new units of supportive housing in Connecticut in the next 10 years. Supportive housing is permanent, independent and affordable housing combined with on-site or visiting case management and support and employment services. In Connecticut, supportive housing has enjoyed both community and political support in the last decade. The Campaign seeks to broaden this base of support in order to achieve the ambitious goal of ending homelessness as we know it.
