Hartford partners with Journey Home and Connecticut Department of Housing to operate bridge and transitional housing programs serving unsheltered residents while permanent supportive housing placements are arranged.
Hartford bridge housing is coordinated through Journey Home, the Greater Hartford Continuum of Care lead agency, and Connecticut Department of Housing. Programs include South Park Inn emergency shelter, ImmaCare transitional housing, and rapid rehousing slots funded through federal HUD CoC grants and state line items. The Coordinated Access Network (CAN) prioritizes placements based on vulnerability assessment scores. Bridge housing typically lasts 30 to 90 days while case managers complete documentation, secure income, and identify permanent supportive housing through Connecticut Reaching Home Campaign partners. Hartford zoning permits congregate shelter and transitional housing in designated zones under Chapter 17.
Operating unlicensed transitional or bridge housing facilities outside Hartford zoning permits can result in Department of Development Services enforcement action, while program participants must follow facility rules to maintain placement.
