Helping people overcome poverty in Hartford

In Hartford, we’re focusing on the neighborhood comprising zip code 06106, where nearly 60% of residents live at or below the poverty level. This Health Zone will support Black and Hispanic people who are unemployed or underemployed and who struggle to secure permanent housing.

We are working to support these adults in achieving their best health with programs and services that increase access to food, affordable housing, education and job training, important health screenings and mental health support.
