Non-profit based in Bridgeport, CT harnessing the power of collective impact to ensure stable, affordable housing is available for everyone.
“I’ve been told the state marshal will be knocking on my door tomorrow and that I’d better be ready to go,” said 73 year-old Peter Rusnak of Bridgeport, after weeks of seeking help to prevent eviction. Stories like Peter’s show why we must do more to protect residents from eviction and displacement.

“I see more older people out there now than I do young kids" says Bob at the Friendship Service Center. 

New research shows senior homelessness is skyrocketing in CT.

Stories like this demonstrate why we need to ensure housing stability for residents of all ages.

Southeastern Connecticut has its first tenant union 🪧🔑

We’ve been supporting the Bay Point tenants in East Lyme since their new landlord hiked rents last summer

We’re proud to help them launch their new union, the 20th CT Tenants Union chapter and counting 👏
