An emergency homeless shelter for single adult men and women in Middlesex County.

The Mission of the Eddy Shelter is to provide leadership in identifying and promoting innovative solutions to ending homelessness, while allowing for each individual’s unique capability. We accomplish this by meeting basic human needs, providing skills to live in the community, resources and referrals to end homelessness and support to decrease the return to homelessness by utilizing prevention techniques.

Located in Middletown, on the grounds of Connecticut Valley Hospital, the shelter has the ability to house 30 people. Case management is provided to shelter guests to help them obtain housing, connect them with health/mental health resources if needed, and employment opportunities. The shelter is involved with the statewide campaign, Reaching Home, to end homelessness in the state of Connecticut by creating 10,000 units of supportive housing over the next 10 years.

Services provided include:

• Assistance with securing housing.
• Clothes are available for shelter guests through donations from the community.
• Access to healthcare.
• Crisis Intervention.
• Counseling.
• Access to mental health and addiction services if needed.
