Overview

Mission

The Connecticut coalition to end homelessness, in partnership with members and communities throughout the state, creates change through leadership, advocacy, and building the capacity of members and the field to respond to environmental challenges. Our collective mission is to prevent and end homelessness in Connecticut.

Training and technical assistance: cceh supports service providers with education, training and networking opportunities. Cceh provides best practice guidance and help providers implement the most effective approaches to use scarce resources to end homelessness. Cceh also provides grassroots organizing and technical assistance to coordinated access networks. We help providers and community stakeholders work together - more effectively and efficiently - to end homelessness through embracing best practices and working as a team.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
