Martina is one of many who found safety, stability and solace at Soromundi Tower...

But before she found a home under our roof, she was living on the streets. And she wasn't alone.

The number of people experiencing homelessness has grown by 44% in the last five years. FOURTY-FOUR percent.

Please don't believe the myths that circulate around homelessness: that it is somehow the failing of the individual, rather than the falling of society and our systems. Approximately 58% of people experiencing homelessness are in this circumstance for the first time.

The high cost of housing in Connecticut is a large driver. And the trends are alarming. But and we won't be discouraged. We know our community is dedicating to uplifting individuals and families in the Hartford Region.

Here's a positive statistic: 78% of those who come through our doors go on to find a permanent home of their own.

Your investment in our programs can help bring someone like Martina off the streets and under our roof, so they can enjoy simple pleasures we so often take for granted: a warm cup of coffee, a cozy bed, access to facilities like laundry and computers.

We hope you will consider a donation of any size today: https://monkeylink.co/3efcc6

June is tomorrow, bringing with it beautiful, warm weather, the FIFA World Cup and the desire to gather with community.

What if we told you there's a way (for our 21+ supporters) to celebrate WITH community, while doing something FOR the community?

Every month, Elicit Brewing Manchester generously helps raise funds for a local organization or nonprofit. For June 2026, they will donate $1 to YWCA Hartford Region for every 16oz pour of one of their special drafts.

If you love Brewery season, watching the World Cup or getting together with community, we hope you'll consider Elicit Brewing Manchester so you can have some fun AND do some good :)

It was the community service aspect of her stay at Soromundi Tower that may have been the most impactful of all. Because this is where Carrie encountered a homeless encampment as they were picking up trash in Bushnell Park.

This was where she learned that treating all people with respect and dignity was important. This was where she saw the person behind their current situation. And this was where she learned that she could help.

Today, Carrie is the Director of Outreach for Center Church, serving the community that comes there for nourishment – both physical and spiritual. Carrie has used her life experience to make a difference for others in the community. She is truly giving back.

Today, with the cost of housing rising, approximately 58% of people experiencing homelessness are in this circumstance for the first time. And there is a significant increase in the number of seniors without a home. The trends are alarming.

With concerns of funding cuts and the knowledge of growing need, it’s easy to get discouraged. But we, just like Carrie, know we can change things.

Will you help us put a roof over someone's head?

Since the 2010s, Amanda Ngoc Nguyen has been a powerful voice for justice and survivors' rights.

Through her leadership and the founding of RISE, she helped drive the passage of the Sexual Assault Survivors’ Rights Act, marking a new era of accountability and dignity for survivors nationwide.

This AAPI month, we celebrate her efforts to shape a more just and compassionate future.

Just a few decades back, teenagers caught skipping school or fighting were sent to Hartford Detention.

And so, at 13, Carrie found herself institutionalized.

Thankfully, Carrie was transitioned from Hartford Detention to the 7th floor of Soromundi Tower where she lived in a “dorm-like” community with other young girls in similar situations.

Carrie's time at Soromundi Tower was transformative. She learned to cook, advocate for herself, serve the community and dream of a future for herself.

YWCA Hartford Region has been addressing housing needs of the Hartford region for over 158 years – and unfortunately, those needs continue to grow.

Because of the high cost of housing in Connecticut, the number of people experiencing homelessness has grown by 44% in the last five years.

Over the years, Carrie has driven to YWCA Hartford Region and pulled into the parking lot to look up at the window she once looked out from. She says, “Maybe it’s comfort, maybe it’s 'cause it’s one of the last places where I actually felt safe.”

She knows how important this is to those without a place to call “home.” And she knows YWCA Hartford Region provides that.

Will you give today to help people like Carrie find a safe place to call home?
