Liberty Community ServicesHousingPermanent HousingLiberty Safe Haven is a first-of-its kind facility in Connecticut, providing a specialized permanent residence for individuals in our community who have experienced repeated or extended periods of homelessness. Liberty Safe Haven is built on the foundation that no one is beyond the capacity to have a full life, but first we need the security of a place to call home. Liberty Safe Haven is not a shelter or a temporary refuge. It is a permanent, secure and supportive foundation for people who want to rebuild their lives. Residents come at their own free will, stay as long as they want, and pay rent. Liberty provides intensive support services and access to a variety of treatment methods to help them define their own paths to embracing health and recovery. What we seek is to build the trust of our residents. What we offer is a new beginning. (Capacity: 22 adults)
Supportive Living Program offers seven beds in permanent private and shared apartments for individuals at risk of homelessness and living with HIV/AIDS, plus community space, counseling, supportive housing case management, addiction/recovery supports, independent living skills development, crisis intervention and round-the-clock emergency access to staff.
