💟 TODAY IS GIVING TUESDAY!

When Maria's son incurred a brain injury, she didn't know what to do. She found our number and called. Our Certified Brain Injury Specialist spent time answering her questions, explaining what to expect, connecting her to resources, and helping her feel less alone.

Your gift today helps us answer every call from families who need us.
And when you donate $50 or more, we will donate a pair of non-slip grip socks in your name to a brain injury survivor.

New Haven’s very first designed and constructed nature trail accessible to people with disabilities is in the works -- as are advocates' plans to try to find a way to get people with mobility limitations to the top of East Rock on more than just Sundays.

ACTION ALERT:
Press Conference with Senator Blumenthal to Protect Housing and Save Lives

Join CCEH tomorrow in Hartford for a press conference with U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal as we call on the federal government to fully fund the Continuum of Care (CoC) and other federal programs that prevent and end homelessness.

These programs are the backbone of Connecticut’s homeless response system providing critical housing and support to more than 9,000 families, individuals, and older adults, including 6,400 people in Permanent Supportive Housing with disabilities and histories of chronic homelessness. Without full federal funding, the stability and safety of our neighbors and the integrity of our entire system are at risk.

The Administration’s proposed changes shift resources away from proven solutions and toward punitive approaches that would endanger lives. We must show our strength and solidarity now.

Your presence matters. We need the field—especially Permanent Supportive Housing providers, frontline staff, and advocates—to stand together and show that Connecticut will not turn its back on the people and programs that work.

Press Conference Details:

Date: Friday, November 14
Time: 10:30 AM (please plan to arrive 15 minutes early)
Location: Room 1A, Legislative Office Building
300 Capitol Ave, Hartford

This is a moment to be seen and heard. Let’s show what it means when Connecticut stands united rooted in compassion, grounded in care, and committed to ensuring every person has a safe, stable place to call home.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is conducting a series of in-person open houses for the Active Transportation Plan across the state next week.

The Active Transportation Plan is a crucial step in creating a safer, more accessible transportation network for all Connecticut residents and visitors alike. These open houses provide an opportunity for CTDOT to gather valuable feedback from the public, working together towards a shared vision of improved mobility. We look forward to collaborating with communities across the state to make this vision a reality.

We have completed the first phase of the study and are entering Phase 2: Proposed Recommendations. The second phase includes development of proposed active transportation infrastructure improvements and prioritization of projects, along with potential funding sources. This also includes recommendations for programs or policies that can improve conditions for active transportation.
