Hands On Hartford

Hands On Hartford connects people with practical supports that promote food access, housing stability, health, and community well-being. Its programs include a community pantry, homeless outreach and prevention services, permanent supportive housing, and related health supports.

The Community Pantry uses a choice-based shopping model with pantry staples, fresh foods, frozen meat, and halal options. Supportive housing services include help finding and maintaining housing, benefits assistance, medical and behavioral health connections, employment support, advocacy, and referrals to community resources.

People seeking housing-related help in Connecticut can also explore NHREA’s Connecticut homeless assistance resources and federal assistance resources. Visit the official Hands On Hartford website to confirm current program details and access information.
