Since 1990, New Reach has developed a continuum of housing interventions and supports, helping thousands of vulnerable households and families achieve stability and self-reliance. Commitment to long-term impact, focused strategic planning, and talented leadership have grown New Reach from a single ten-bed shelter for women, into a leader in homelessness services.
Today, we serve thousands each year throughout Fairfield and New Haven counties, providing a full spectrum of housing services from eviction prevention for public housing residents, to the development of affordable and supportive housing, and everything in between.
Our mission
New Reach inspires independence for all people affected by homelessness and poverty through a continuum of housing and support using the most innovative, progressive, equitable and inclusive methods.
Our vision
Our vision is that all children, families and individuals have a safe, secure, affordable home with the services and supports necessary to achieve a fulfilling, self-reliant life; regardless of age, gender, ethnicity/race, religion, sexual orientation or any other social or personal characteristics.
