About
The Connection, Inc. and St. Paul's
The
Connection, Inc. is a not for profit
Human and Community Development Agency.
Our agency works to strengthen our
collective ability to build and sustain
safe, healthy and caring communities.
We are dedicated to inspiring people
to reach their fullest potential
as productive and valued citizens.
The Connection, Inc. provides services
to individuals and families throughout
the state of Connecticut.
The
Agency was formed in 1972 as a community
response to the devastation being
wrought on families and communities
from the problems of abuse, dependency,
addiction, crime and neglect. The
Connection was one of Connecticut’s
first agencies to initiate community
based treatment programs. We found
that services provided in the community
can be very effective, helping the
person or family in need. We strive
to always provide state of the art
services, incorporating what we have
learned from best research and practice.
With
regard specifically to our housing
program, the aim is not just to provide
a shelter for homeless people, but
also to end homelessness. By helping
people become a part of their community,
and teaching them how to utilize
resources available, we provide alternatives
to being homeless and give necessary
support to obtain and keep housing.
As
simple as it sounds, it is not that
simple and we could not do the work
that we do without you. St. Paul’s
Church congregation has been a true
and valued partner and has provided
extraordinary donations of clothes,
household items and furniture.
All
the Supportive Housing Clients and
Bridgeport staff say a big THANK
YOU to you all at St.Paul's.
