Community Action of New Haven

Community Action of New Haven, known on its official site as Community Action Agency of New Haven (CAANH), provides case management and support services for individuals and families working toward stable housing and greater self-sufficiency. Its programs include rental and security-deposit assistance, home-retention support, and connections to community resources.

Through Passport Transitional Services, CAANH helps vulnerable or unhoused New Haven residents connect with coordinated services such as housing support, transportation assistance, employment help, and referrals for health, mental-health, substance-use, and social-service needs. Its wrap-around services also help eligible households navigate resources related to housing stability, food, healthcare, and financial needs.

CAANH provides energy-assistance information for eligible Connecticut households, along with energy education and related support.
