Partnership for Strong Communities
Company Overview
The Partnership for Strong Communities engages civic and political support to solve homelessness, create affordable housing and develop strong, vibrant communities. We promote knowledge, forge networks, apply innovation and inspire action to establish communities where anyone would want to live and work.
The Partnership staffs two campaigns: Reaching Home and HOMEConnecticut. The Reaching Home Campaign promotes the creation of permanent supportive housing as a solution to chronic homelessness. HOMEConnecticut is the statewide housing affordability campaign, promoting the creation of affordable rentals, starter homes and a wide spectrum of housing options for workers, young families and elderly residents.
The Partnership for Strong Communities is located at The Lyceum and provides oversight for the Lyceum Resource and Conference Center. The Lyceum is a 16,000-square-foot, restored neo-Classical Revivalist structure in Hartford that features a state-of-the-art conference center, meeting rooms and offices. It also includes a resource center of up-to-date research studies, historical data, and other assets to assist educators, policymakers and scholars. The Lyceum Conference area is available to groups and individuals working on programs to end homelessness, promote affordable housing and best practices in community development.
