Community Connect helps pregnant women, families, caregivers, and individuals by providing a one-stop entry point for needed services, such as housing, employment, financial, parenting, physical health, and community connections.
Due to significant program growth, Community Connect has implemented a priority waitlist as of November 1, 2023. Once your application has been processed, you will receive a notification indicating the status of your application (approved, placed on the waitlist or denied). This notification will be sent via your identified preferred method of communication (mailing address or email address).
The prioritization process will consider multiple areas of need to determine which applicants will be referred for services each month. Areas of need include, but are not limited to current homelessness, caregiver/parent status, involvement with Child Protection Services or like services, pregnancy and recent intravenous drug use.
