Partnership for Strong Communities

Our Coalition & Advocacy Director Amy Peltier joined Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, State Representative Laurie Sweet, and housing advocates from across Connecticut to discuss the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.

This is the first major bipartisan federal housing proposal in decades that not only recognizes the scale of our housing crisis, but also offers meaningful solutions to expand housing affordability and stability nationwide.

We’re grateful to be among those pushing for bold, long-overdue housing action.

There’s still time to join us for our next iForum: Building Tenant Power: Organizing for Stability.

Hear directly from organizers, advocates, and residents about what tenant organizing looks like on the ground, how housing challenges vary across communities, and how tenants are building collective power across Connecticut.

🕘 Wednesday, June 5 | 9 AM – 12 PM
📍 Mattatuck Museum, Waterbury

Light breakfast will be served.

HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us last month for the Norwich Housing Forum, and to everyone who helped make it a success.

From the resource fair to the panel discussion on housing stability and childhood poverty, the event highlighted the challenges residents face and the importance of collaboration in building lasting solutions.

We are grateful to all of the speakers, panelists, organizations, and attendees who showed up, shared resources, and helped housing affordability and stability forward in Norwich and Eastern Connecticut.
