Office of Housing & Homelessness Services
Unique to the State of Connecticut, the City of New Haven allocates resources from its' General Fund for homeless sheltering and support services. However the Office of Housing & Homelessness Services endeavors to go beyond sheltering and housing; it also supports self sufficiency in individuals and families.
This office also administers Community Block Grant and Funds through two programs: the Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG), and the Housing Opportunities for Persons With HIV/AIDs (HOPWA).
ESG funds are used for street outreach, emergency shelter services, homelessness prevention and rapid re-housing assistance. The HOPWA program is the only Federal program dedicated to addressing the housing needs of people living with HIV/AIDS and their families.
New Haven Homeless Advisory Board meetings are held every second Thursday of the month.
