With a large team of social workers and an inventory of 297 apartments, the cccy continues to reduce chronic homelessness in bridgeport and serve as the largest provider of affordable and supportive housing in the state. The cccy and our partners worked together to provide supportive housing services to hundereds of individuals who otherwise would not have a roof over their heads. In 2025, the cccy renewed its effort to meet immediate human needs by addressing hunger and food insecurity. Cccy volunteers, staff and partners served 323,528 meals in 2025 compared to 296,105 meals served in 2024 - an increase of 24,477 meals served!

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 68% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
