Program accomplishments

  • Supportive Housing: PEAK (People Empowered by Achievement and Knowledge) and HAL (Home At Last) programs offer subsidized housing vouchers to formerly homeless individuals or families so that they may live in apartments scattered throughout the Greater New Britain area while receiving case management services. Certificates are currently available for 33 apartments through PEAK and 10 apartments through HAL; participants pay one-third of their income for rent and the program pays the rest. ASH (Arch Street Housing) and Howey House are two buildings where formerly homeless individuals or families live in their own apartments within a communal building where on-site case management is offered to support self-sufficiency. Arch Street Housing consists of 21 one- two- and three-bedroom apartments for families and individual adults at 59 and 85 Arch Street in New Britain. Howey House consists of 11 efficiency or one-bedroom units for individual adults at 180 North Street in New Britain. We served 120 people from 83 households in FY25 through these programs.
