With our service territory expansion, we needed a name that appropriately reflected our connection to Hartford and Tolland counties as well as a regional approach; we will take going forward. We feel that Habitat for Humanity of North Central Connecticut (HFHNCC) achieves those objectives and accurately reflects our grassroots base in north central Connecticut. What does your expansion mean for activities in Hartford and Tolland County? Will you be relocating your offices? We are dedicated to serving both counties and are looking to grow our staff to appropriately support our programs and initiatives in these communities. For Hartford County, we have several home building and renovation projects lined up for 2022 including a ‘Build with Strength’ concrete home, the historic renovation of 315 Capitol Avenue, and four Zero Energy Ready homes in Windsor. For Tolland County, we are focused on getting the Vernon ReStore operational, introducing ourselves to the community, establishing partnerships, and broadening the scope of our services to be a resource for community members. We have not dedicated any resources to initiating building projects within Tolland County at this time. Our primary office will remain in Hartford. We will have an office space and dedicated resources for Tolland County operating out of the Vernon ReStore, which is located at 369 Talcottville Road in Vernon. What was the reasoning behind the expansion – and why now? It’s been proven through our decades of home building and community work that individuals and families thrive when they have a home in a safe and stable community. With the housing affordability crisis continuing to touch every area of our society, Habitat for Humanity of North Central Connecticut saw the opportunity and need to expand our footprint and services to include Tolland County. Our expansion allows us the opportunity to serve more families and to ensure that affordable homeownership is available throughout the state of Connecticut. How does the ReStore in Vernon fit into the organization’s plan? Habitat ReStores are home improvement and donation centers that sell new and gently used furniture, home accessories, building materials, and appliances to the public at a fraction of their retail price. Many who shop our store are new homeowners, DIY’ers, and those looking for great deals or unique finds. The store provides one way for the community to get acquainted with HFHNCC and our services. It will serve as our resource hub in Tolland County,and will eventually help fund homeownership programs in the area. The Bloomfield ReStore has sponsored a number of blighted properties in Hartford County.]]> tollandcountycha Tue, 22 Mar 2022 15:41:36 +0100 https://tollandcountychamber.org/membership/member-directory/family-community-civil-organizations/non-profit/274-habitat-for-humanity-north-central-connecticut https://tollandcountychamber.org/membership/member-directory/family-community-civil-organizations/non-profit/171-march-inc-of-manchester ]]> tollandcountycha Thu, 10 Feb 2022 20:48:17 +0100 https://tollandcountychamber.org/membership/member-directory/family-community-civil-organizations/non-profit/171-march-inc-of-manchester https://tollandcountychamber.org/membership/member-directory/family-community-civil-organizations/social-services/83-hockanum-valley-community-council Hockanum Valley Community Council, Inc.

We have one of the highest rates in the nation – 85% – for transitioning veterans out of homelessness. A 501(c)3 nonprofit headquartered in Massachusetts, Veterans Inc. is the largest provider of support services to veterans and their families in New England. Since 1990, we have helped more than 85,000 veterans in need and today operates offices and programs in all six New England states. Veterans Inc.’s clinical case management approach addresses the “total veteran,” incorporating job training and employment services, health and wellness, and supportive services ranging from transportation to legal advice. When it comes to helping veterans, we don’t just work to address their immediate needs; we give them the tools to rebuild their lives, helping them to regain self-sufficiency and reconnect with their family, friends, and community. In short, as our clients tell us time and again, we save lives. Why focus on veterans when so many need help? Because veterans face different challenges than the general population. Prolonged separation from traditional supports such as family and close friends, highly stressful training and occupational demands, and mental or physical injuries sustained in combat, all can affect veterans’ personalities, self-esteem, and ability to function in civilian society. These personal challenges put them at greater risk for substance abuse and PTSD. Furthermore, many veterans joined the military at a young age, before acquiring skills that could be transferred to civilian jobs, putting them at high risk of joblessness and homelessness. If you know a veteran in need of help, please have him or her contact us today at (800) 482-2565. They were there when we needed them, so we must be there now that they need us. Join us in ensuring that our veterans and their families have access to the support and services they need, and support our mission of ending homelessness among veterans: make a donation, become a volunteer, and sponsor or take part in our fundraising events.]]> tollandcountycha Wed, 09 Feb 2022 02:15:46 +0100 https://tollandcountychamber.org/membership/member-directory/family-community-civil-organizations/veterans/60-veterans-inc https://tollandcountychamber.org/membership/member-directory/family-community-civil-organizations/non-profit/31-access-community-action-agency Access Community Action Agency is a federal and state designated non-profit Community Action Agency (CAA).
