Ending Family Homelessness:
A Focus on the Entire Family 

What is the key to ending family homelessness? In Connecticut, we are creating a response system that quickly exits families out of homelessness and connects them to services that focus on improving the overall well-being, health, education and economic stability of both parents and children. This IForum will explore a collaborative approach that crosses these multiple systems to ensure that the needs of the entire family are addressed.

Note: If there is inclement weather, please watch WFSB TV 3 to see if the IForum is cancelled or will start later than scheduled.

If it snows a measurable amount the evening before or day of the IForum and the IForum has not been cancelled, it is likely that the additional parking lot around the corner from the Lyceum will not be available. In the past, attendees have parked at the Legislative Office Building and walked to the Lyceum.

Please consider carpooling or utilizing the public transportation system. CT Transit Buses 61, 63 and 69 all have stops close to the Lyceum. Also, CTfastrak's Sigourney Street Station is about a 15-minute walk to the Lyceum.
