Housing for Homeless Veterans
Homeless veterans get help with housing, employment, and health care at CRT’s Veterans Crossing facility in East Hartford.
Veterans Crossing is a 12-room, handicapped accessible, temporary, transitional housing program for homeless male veterans located in East Hartford. The primary aim is to help Veterans find permanent housing while also providing assistance with employment and connecting them with supportive services. Vets are linked with both the VA and community services including medical, mental health, and substance abuse. Additional support such as money management, life skills, counseling, and referrals are also available.
We welcome both English and Spanish speakers.
