Trainings & Events

Join the Partnership for Strong Communities to learn about the far-reaching impacts of supportive housing!

The conditions people need to thrive begin with a safe, stable home. For individuals and families facing complex challenges, supportive housing combines affordable housing with individualized services that improve health, strengthen families, foster independence, and create lasting stability. Its impact extends far beyond housing policy, with benefits for healthcare systems, child welfare, education, behavioral health, veterans, the elderly, and communities across Connecticut.

Join the Partnership for Homes That Heal: The Impact of Supportive Housing, an iForum exploring how supportive housing improves outcomes for people and communities across Connecticut.

The event will include the release and presentation of the Partnership's new report, Homes That Heal: The State of Supportive Housing in Connecticut. Drawing on research, stakeholder interviews, and an examination of Connecticut's supportive housing landscape, the report explores how supportive housing has evolved, where challenges remain, and what policy opportunities exist to strengthen this critical resource.

The event will feature a presentation of the report's findings followed by two panel discussions with leaders from government, supportive housing providers, community organizations and more. Together, they'll explore Connecticut's history of supportive housing, the current policy landscape, and the ways supportive housing improves outcomes for children, families, and other populations.

As Connecticut faces rising homelessness and growing uncertainty around federal housing investments, this conversation will explore why supportive housing remains one of the state's most effective tools for improving lives, strengthening communities, and making better use of public resources.
