Homelessness - What To Do?

What can I do if I am homeless?

If you do not have a permanent place to live, you will have different rights and benefits depending on your situation. You may be able to get help with:
emergency housing,
permanent housing,
food,
a job, and if you have children, getting them enrolled in school.
Help for People Who Get Cash Assistance from the CT Department of Social Services

You may be eligible to have the state pay for emergency housing and other benefits for you and your family. This help is available if you become homeless and the Connecticut Department of Social Services (DSS): provides you monthly cash benefits for families with children (TFA/Temporary Family Assistance), or provided your family with Diversion Assistance within the last three months; or provides you monthly cash benefits in the State Supplement program also called Aid to the Aged, Blind & Disabled (AABD); or provides you monthly cash benefits in the State Administered General Assistance (SAGA) program.

If you are eligible, DSS will pay for emergency housing once in a calendar year, for up to 60 days. You must apply for emergency housing within 45 days of when you became homeless.
