About Journey Home

Journey Home’s mission is to accelerate progress towards ending homelessness in the Connecticut's Capital region. Partnering with others, Journey Home focuses on solving the problem of homelessness rather than managing it with emergency shelter. Journey Home develops and implements innovative ways to improve the system to offer paths toward independent, fulfilling, and productive lives. We follow three guiding principles: creating awareness of existing services/streamlining access to these services; concentrating resources on programs offering measurable results; and ending homelessness. With this in mind, we have developed necessary, functional, and sustainable programs. Throughout our history we have created programming that increases access to services, housed the chronically homeless, increased supportive and affordable housing, increased employment opportunities for those who are experiencing homelessness or at-risk for becoming homeless, created greater community awareness around the issues of homelessness and the need for affordable housing, and helped create the Coordinated Access Network (CAN) system.

Reviews

Donor Care and Client Assistance Intern

May 2019 - August 2019 Hartford, CT
“I liked the flexibility I was offered. This was my first “real” job in an office, and Journey Home offered me a great environment to learn. I improved my ability to work with coworkers as well as a lot of independent projects, with little micromanagement. Every day I was around people who really cared about and loved the work they did, which I believe does not happen all that often.”
