The New London Homeless Hospitality Center is a not-for-profit (501 (c) 3) coalition of citizens, faith communities and service organizations working to become a regional resource for our homeless guests:  A place they can feel safe and welcome … which treats guests with dignity … which respects each person's right to self-determination … which provides a doorway through which our guests can find the support they need to move into permanent housing.

At night we provide a shelter for single adults. Our goal is to provide a place of rest and safety.  While the sleeping arrangements are simple — a cot, sheets and a blanket — we strive to provide a setting that is welcoming and dignified.

During the day we offer a drop-in center where our homeless guests can find sanctuary and practical assistance as they work toward permanent housing. Guests can use the drop-in center to receive mail, use the Internet, get access to showers, pick up a voucher to do laundry and meet with people who can help them plan for their future. The overnight shelter and drop-in center work together to build relationships with guests.  From this foundation we can assist guests as they work to transition to permanent housing. We help our guests move toward permanent housing primarily by linking them with existing mental health, employment, health, social service, public benefit and housing services.
