Family Homelessness in CT is Higher Than Ever.
You can help!
Support our be homeful for the holidays campaign.
In 2015, the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness (CCEH) was honored to be selected as the official U.S. Charity of Paddington™—and the be homeful project was created.
be homeful supports our work to provide one-time emergency funds that frontline caseworkers can request to help your neighbors remain housed—ending homelessness for families before it begins.
During our special seasonal campaign, be homeful for the holidays, for every $25 donation made through December, we will gift a plush Paddington™ Bear, book, 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!
