The Centers for Housing Opportunity operates on a collective impact model, forming and facilitating cross-sector partnerships to work towards a single goal: regional housing affordability. CHO is a strategic alliance between three core organizations: The Housing Collective, LISC Connecticut, and Partnership for Strong Communities, in partnership with place-based community foundations and anchor organizations in Fairfield County, Litchfield County, and Eastern Connecticut.
The Department of Housing (DOH) strengthens and revitalizes communities by promoting affordable housing opportunities. DOH seeks to eliminate homelessness and to catalyze the creation and preservation of quality, affordable housing to meet the needs of all individuals and families statewide to ensure that Connecticut continues to be a great place to live and work.
Our mission is to provide access to justice and protect the critical civil legal rights of low-income individuals and families through representation, systemic advocacy, advice, collaboration, and education. We serve low-income families in 122 of the 169 Connecticut communities (our sister agencies serve areas of greater Hartford and greater New Haven). Our service area includes hundreds of thousands of families eligible for our services.
