program</h3> <h4 class="blog__flex--item--subheading">Assisting families in low-income housing</h4> <div class="blog__flex--item--description"> <p>Since 2009, our Stable Families Program has prevented the evictions of <strong>98%</strong> of the families who completed the program. Every year, we prevent more than <strong>240 people</strong> in Bridgeport from losing their homes and facing the trauma of eviction. Approximately <strong>80% of the households</strong> served are headed by single females of color, more than a third of whom have <strong>3 or more children</strong>.</p> <p>Eviction rates for Connecticut’s largest cities—Bridgeport, Hartford, and New Haven—are among the highest in the nation and housing affordability in Connecticut is among the lowest in the United States. The families and individuals whose evictions we work to prevent live in subsidized housing in the City of Bridgeport. For these people, eviction would mean losing that subsidy and being thrown into an already unaffordable retail rental market.</p> <p>The Stable Families Program relies on intensive case management and partnerships with other organizations that provide legal services and other resources that help stabilize households. We tailor our approach to every family or individual we serve, providing customized casework for their specific situation. Although we sometimes provide financial assistance, this program is more focused on long-term solutions. </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="light-purple-container viewport-full-width"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"><div class="col-sm-12"> <h3>We connect households with a<br /> network of resources</h3> <div class="row"><div class="col-sm-4"> <div class="icon-callout"> <figure> <img src="/application/files/2116/1676/1492/icon_healthcare.svg"> </figure> <div class="ic-body"> <p>Healthcare</p> </div> </div> </div><div class="col-sm-4"> <div class="icon-callout"> <figure> <img src="/application/files/4316/1676/1492/icon_education.svg"> </figure> <div class="ic-body"> <p>Education</p> </div> </div> </div><div class="col-sm-4"> <div class="icon-callout"> <figure> <img src="/application/files/8416/1676/1492/icon_cultural_civic_entities.svg"> </figure> <div class="ic-body"> <p>Cultural & Civic Entities</p> </div> </div> </div></div> </div></div> </div> </div> <div class="padded-content-area"> <h4 style="text-align: center;">Of the families who have completed the program in the last ten years, <strong>none have since entered the homeless system</strong>—together we can make real change!</h4> </div> <div class="quote-callout fancy viewport-full-width"> <div class="quote-callout-body"> <div class="qcb-inner"> <hr /> <h3>“When I entered New Reach, I was broken and lost.
