605 Baldwin Street, Waterbury, CTMigration, Refugee, & Immigration Services
For many years, Catholic Charities resettled hundreds of refugees in the Greater Hartford area, promoting the dignity, self-sufficiency, and human potential of those in need. With a variety of multicultural and multilingual services, Catholic Charities offered support to families during the long process of adjusting to their new surroundings and becoming active participants in their communities. In addition to resettlement, our work in this area included immigration services, employment services, English as a Second Language classes, and various programs that bring communities together to celebrate their unique cultural traditions. In 2022, due to funding challenges, this program ended. While we no longer assist with refugee resettlement or immigration services, we are proud to offer programs and services to people of all faiths and backgrounds in our communities.
Disaster Relief Services
Following the disaster of Hurricane Maria in September 2017, Catholic Charities was among the local nonprofit agencies that organized to assist thousands of families from Puerto Rico who chose Connecticut to be one of their places of refuge. Employees across our agency offered support and necessary social services, including food, clothing, employment search assistance, transportation, and school enrollment. In March 2018, Catholic Charities assumed the lead role in coordinating continuance of case management and supportive services.
