Community Renewal Team, Inc. is the Community Action Agency for Middlesex and Hartford Counties and is the largest non-profit provider of human services in Connecticut. The agency’s mission is Preparing Our Community to Meet Life’s Challenges. The mission is achieved each day by helping people and families become self-sufficient while making sure basic needs are met. CRT’s programs include Head Start, Meals on Wheels, energy assistance, supportive housing and shelters, and many others, serving people in more than 60 cities and towns in both our core catchment area and throughout Connecticut.

CRT is one of the longest continuously operating Community Action Agencies in America, having spread roots in Hartford even before the governing Community Action Partnership was created in 1964 as part of Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty. Formerly known as the Community Renewal Team of Greater Hartford, the agency expanded its core service area by taking over the operations of Community Action for Greater Middlesex County in 1999 and became Community Renewal Team, Inc.

The agency has built upon its grassroots foundation to become a broad-based, modern agency, pioneering results-based accountability and holistic case management models for all of its programs and customers. It operates more than 60 human service programs, touching the lives of more than 100,000 customers annually, with an annual operating budget of almost $100 million and a growing staff of more than 800 employees.
