FAIRFIELD COUNTY ADVOCACY FACT SHEET

The 2016 Opening Doors Fairfield County Advocacy Fact Sheet was developed by the Partnership for Strong Communities [PSC] and the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness [CCEH], based on 2015 data from the Homeless Management Information System [HMIS]. The sheet illustrates progress made in ending homelessness both state-wide and in Fairfield County in particular. Also, it reflects the work left to do and resources needed to end chronic homelessness. Click here to view Fact Sheet.
