In the year 2000, the geographic areas of the City of New London, the City of Norwich, and New London County consolidated as the New London County Continuum of Care. This was done in order to apply for federal grants for supportive housing and homeless services that were available to the region through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development [HUD]. HUD requires that regions have a strategic and effective planning process to ensure a coordinated and regional approach to the issue of homelessness. The Partnership to End Homelessness of Southeastern Connecticut is the lead entity for the Continuum of Care Planning and application process. The Partnership has spent recent years developing a strong collaboration to address the region's homeless needs and has evolved into an entity that is vested in the broader housing needs of our community. The mission of the Partnership is to create a Continuum of Care that engages the diverse resources found in our region. The resources will be used to implement a full range of housing options and support services so that no child, woman, or man is homeless. The Partnership is comprised of several committees dedicated to fulfilling the mission. Each committee included members from a cross section of our community. Members include social service agencies, men and women of the business community, youth service workers, mental health workers, veterans administrations, healthcare workers, and local housing authorities.
