Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness

What Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness does

Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness (CCEH) is a Hartford-based nonprofit organization founded in 1982 that operates as the backbone agency for the CT CAN End Homelessness campaign, a statewide Collective Impact effort to prevent and solve homelessness across Connecticut. CCEH organizes its work around three pillars — Training and Technical Assistance, Collective Impact, and Policy and Advocacy — delivering a coordinated portfolio that includes the Annual Training Institute (ATI, now in its 23rd year with 600+ attendees), the CT Housing and Homeless Training Academy LMS (hosted on MyAbsorb), the third-annual Coldest Night of the Year community walk, an annual legislative agenda and weekly bill tracker, the Statewide Diversion Guide, and member training requests covering topics such as Housing First, Rapid Re-Housing, Racial Equity, and Permanent Supportive Housing.

The underlying technology stack is conventional and integration-light: a WordPress website backbone, Constant Contact for email outreach, the Civic Roundtable collaboration platform (app.civicroundtable.com) for CT CAN committee coordination, and the MyAbsorb-hosted LMS for training delivery. CCEH monetizes through a hybrid nonprofit revenue model comprising individual donations (preset tiers of $25–$1,000), organizational membership dues, multi-tiered event sponsorships and registrations (with Dalio as lead ATI sponsor), government grants and contracts from CT DOH and CT DMHAS, and request-based training and technical assistance services with pricing not publicly disclosed. The organization serves a segmented customer base spanning nonprofit service providers, state agencies, Connecticut legislators, individuals with lived experience of homelessness, and grassroots donors and advocates.

Product overview

CCEH (Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness) operates a coordinated portfolio of programs and resources centered on the CT CAN End Homelessness campaign, a Collective Impact framework that unites service providers, regional coordinating bodies, people with lived experience, advocates, community partners, and policymakers to prevent and solve homelessness in Connecticut. Its core offerings are organized around three pillars — Training & Technical Assistance (delivered via the in-person/virtual Training Requests program, the Trainings & Events calendar, the Annual Training Institute (ATI), and the MyAbsorb-powered CT Housing & Homeless Training Academy LMS), Collective Impact (anchored by the CT CAN End Homelessness campaign and its associated committees on the Civic Roundtable platform), and Policy & Advocacy (the 2026 CT CAN Legislative Agenda and Fact Sheets, the weekly CT CAN Bill Tracker, and the P&A Legislative Directory). Supporting resources include the Statewide Diversion Guide, the annual Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY) fundraising walk, the Shelter List, the Membership Program, and a Constant Contact-powered newsletter. Together, these products form an integrated backbone-agency model for Connecticut's homelessness response system rather than a single unified software product.

Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Community Renewal Team (CRT): Hartford-based human services agency delivering homeless services, housing, and community programs. Co-hosts the Coldest Night of the Year walk with CCEH and is itself a CCEH member — a directly comparable CT-based operational peer.
• Partnership for Strong Communities: Connecticut-based housing advocacy organization that jointly issued statements with CCEH on opioid settlement fund investment in housing and co-sponsors ATI. Functions as a parallel statewide advocacy peer on housing and homelessness policy in CT.
• Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program: Healthcare-for-the-homeless nonprofit that delivers clinical care, advocacy, and training on homeless health. Aligned with CCEH's ATI 2026 healthcare integration via CHC-ACT partnership, and a directly comparable model of cross-sector homelessness services.

Broad incumbents

• National Alliance to End Homelessness: The leading national policy, advocacy, and training organization working to prevent and end homelessness in the U.S. It is directly comparable as a higher-level advocacy/backbone body — already a keynote partner of CCEH's 2026 ATI — operating with broader geographic reach and similar training/advocacy functions.
• National Low Income Housing Coalition: National advocacy organization dedicated to achieving affordable and decent housing for the lowest-income households. Comparable to CCEH in its federal/state legislative advocacy and policy research on homelessness and housing affordability, though operating nationally.
• Corporation for Supportive Housing: National nonprofit that advances supportive housing solutions for people experiencing homelessness through policy, financing, and technical assistance. Comparable to CCEH in providing training, TA, and policy advocacy around supportive housing, though at a much larger national scale.

Emerging players

• Invisible People: National nonprofit using storytelling and media to reframe public perception of homelessness. Comparable in advocacy amplification and a 2026 ATI keynote/special presentation partner of CCEH, though focused on narrative change rather than direct service coordination.

Regional players

• Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless: State-level nonprofit coalition working to prevent and end homelessness in Massachusetts via advocacy, training, and direct service programs. Directly comparable model — statewide coalition delivering legislative advocacy, training, and public education on homelessness — but operating in an adjacent New England state.
• New York Coalition Against Homelessness: New York-based statewide coalition focused on homelessness prevention through shelter, housing, and policy advocacy. Comparable as a sibling state coalition operating in the Northeast with similar advocacy, training, and member-coordination functions.

Others

• HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) Program: Federal funding and planning program that supports local homelessness response systems. Directly comparable as the funder/coordination framework that CCEH's coalition members rely upon, and whose NOFO rescission in December 2025 materially impacts CCEH's ecosystem.
