In 2022, the Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness assumed leadership of the CT CAN End Homelessness statewide initiative. We implement the collective impact approach to solving homelessness alongside our partners at the individual, community, and state level.

Moving to a collective impact approach requires a system-wide change, beginning with reimagining the current top-down structure for decision-making. Our mission is to ensure participation by direct services staff and to center the perspectives of people with lived experience.

Based on feedback from the CT CAN End Homelessness Evaluation Survey, we are restructuring CT CAN End Homelessness to improve:

• Communication Flow
• Committee Makeup and Purpose
• Clear Goals and Objectives
