New London Homeless Hospitality Center 1.35

The Homeless Hospitality Center provides a place of safety and welcome to all southeastern Connecticut adults who find themselves facing homelessness.

We welcome every individual as our guest at both our shelter and Daytime Hospitality Center on State Pier Road in New London.

HHC collaborates with dozens of public and private programs and agencies to address, as fully as possible the underlying causes of homelessness for every individual who needs our help.

We are also developing innovative new housing options for those who need them most.

Our roots can be traced to 2006, when a homeless man named Bill Walsh died in the woods on the New London-Waterford town line one week after the city’s winter shelter closed.

Father Emmett Jarrett, a peace activist and founder of St. Francis House, an intentional Christian community in New London, convened a task force. It led to creation of HHC as a shelter supporting those seeking a way out of homelessness.
