Hi I'm new this site, I think I'm having trouble using it already. Any how I'm 32 yrs oils with a beautiful 19mo baby. We are in desperate need of a place to live. Where we are staying is with family and its a very stressful bad situation. In addition there is no room for us. I'm on several waiting lists for shelters. But the town and towns I'm near the resources are very limited in assistance. I've tried
low income housing and they have wait list of at least 2yrs. I'm looking for work but its been hard. If anyone knows of anything or can help.
mostly people are here requesting help or advice, some have posted pages where free help or ideas are available..few are able to help directly but beware, some are here to scam or use you. Many organizations are finished handing out toys and help for the holidays..I just posted another site you can try.
I lost my job back in may.I been at this job for 28 years,and they let me go just like that.I lost my 2 bedroom apt in sep.I was homeless until dec 1 .I am really happy I got my little tree for me and my Daughter. My apt is small my daughter got her bedroom again.We are really happy to be together again,we were seperate for 2 month.I try to get help from the state,they told me there wasnt any but thats ok I did what I had to do.I still have to look for a bed,sofa,kitchen table and chairs but you know what it is ok that i sleep and eat on the floor i am so happy to have a place to live.I cant find any help for my daughter for christmas, they told me they cant help 14 year old girls only toys for tots that is really SAD.what do i do know?I will be ok I have my daughter.

Im so tired of this fight , I have two sons and Im a single parent . I work as a factory laborer and make no money what so ever . I've been evicted from my rent and have no place to stay , I've tried to get help from numerous agencies here in the state of Connecticut with no luck . Im so disgusted with how this state treats people . I've worked all my life , always paid my taxes and I've always been a good citizen a good person that always helped other people but once your down on your luck and seek help no ones there to help you . I worry about my children , not so much of myself . I need help with finding a 2BR apartment and I need the move in fee's such as first months rent and security deposit but once Im in I can pay my own way . Please is there anyone out there that can help me , please I beg of you !
Non-profit food banks and pantries in Connecticut may be able to help individuals and families who are facing a difficult period. Qualified residents can turn to these centers for free food, and many may also provide other forms of non-financial support such as clothing and general information on government assistance programs.
While the exact type of food provided will vary based on the pantry or food bank, in general many will provide perishable items, vegetables, bread, frozen foods, and others forms of nutritious meals. Most locations will also have counselors on site who can advise qualified individuals about low income government assistance programs as well as other charities that are located in the town, city, or region where the individual lives.
Each county in Connecticut also usually has other agencies that can provide financial assistance, such as Salvation Army, community action agencies, or similar. Click here to get more information on other financial assistance programs that may be available in your local community.
