Shelter Now
Shelter Now is a branch of YHHAP that aims to alleviate and ultimately end chronic homelessness, primarily in New Haven but also in the great Connecticut area, through political action and organization. Shelter Now will work through public and private institutions—government, homeless shelters, non-profits, etc.
In Fall 2008, Shelter Now raised over $35,000 to keep the Cedar Street Overflow Shelter in New Haven open through the winter when the City of New Haven cut funding for the overflow.
