Family Homelessness in CT is Higher Than Ever.
You can help!
Support our be homeful for the holidays campaign.
be homeful supports the work of the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness (CCEH) to provide one-time emergency funds that frontline caseworkers can request to help your neighbors remain housed—ending homelessness for families before it begins.
In 2015, in recognition of our collaborative statewide work on diversion, CCEH was honored to be selected as the official U.S. Charity of Paddington™—and be homeful for the holidays was created.
During this special seasonal campaign, for every $25 donation made through December, we will gift a plush Paddington™ Bear or backpack to a child experiencing homelessness.
Thanks to our generous underwriter, the Connecticut REALTORS®, every dollar donated helps to keep a family in their home.
the be homeful project
Every year, thousands of families with children under the age of eighteen are at risk of homelessness in Connecticut—entering shelters or living unhoused. And research shows that children who experience homelessness face a higher risk of housing instability and homelessness as adults.*
The be homeful project provides a critical financial intervention at the front door of shelter—allowing families to remain housed through diversion or by rapidly exiting families who have just entered our homeless response system.
Through advocacy, education, and fundraising, the be homeful project can truly end homelessness before it begins. Join us and donate today!
