An Affordability Crisis<\/h2>\n

TEAM knows that housing affordability is a major concern for so many in our community. We continue to see a steadily rising number of community members turning to us for help in finding or keeping stable housing. The more a household must spend to keep a roof over their heads, the more difficult choices they must make in order to cover the remainder of their monthly costs: heating, utilities, food, medicine, daycare, car payments, and more.<\/p>\n

Who Needs Help With Housing?<\/h2>\n

TEAM is committed to addressing this by advocating for increased housing options for all in our community including recent college graduates, young families, older adults who want to stay in the town they\u2019ve raised their families in, and working adults (teachers, first responders, retail workers, manufacturers, healthcare & nursing assistants and more!).<\/p>\n

Not only does safe, stable housing benefit residents in our community (housing is linked to education outcomes, health outcomes, and more) but it also does wonders for our economy \u2013 increasing the grand list, sparking business development, helping to fill the open jobs in our state.<\/p>\n

What Is Affordable Housing?<\/h2>\n

Affordable Housing is just that \u2013 Housing that people can afford. This may be \u201cnaturally occurring\u201d where the cost of rent or a mortgage happens to fall under the 30% of a household\u2019s monthly income, or affordable housing can also be designated units that are rent-controlled based on an area\u2019s median income (AMI). Households may also have Affordable Housing if they get help with a program such as Section 8.<\/p>\n

A Housing Story<\/h2>\n

TEAM works with Head Start on Housing and other available resources to help a local family find housing stability and self-sufficiency<\/h3>\n

Kayla and her young son Lance are just one example of the thousands of individuals and families TEAM has helped to find and keep safe, stable housing in our community. Kayla came to TEAM as Head Start parent \u2013 her son Lance was enrolled in TEAM\u2019s toddler classroom, and Kayla was connected to a Family Support Specialist to assist her with personal goals and working towards increased self-sufficiency. Kayla had little-to-no support system to lean on and had recently become a single parent. She bravely jumped in and embraced every aspect of TEAM\u2019s Head Start program, enrolled in TEAM\u2019s GAIN (Gaining Access to Independence Now) job training certification program as well as became an active member of the Head Start Parent Policy Council.<\/p>\n

Throughout Kayla\u2019s active participation in the program, it became evident that her housing was unstable and ultimately not a safe environment for her or Lance. Through the Head Start of Housing initiative, a partnership with the Office of Early Childhood, National Center for Housing & Child Welfare, CT Dept. of Housing & TEAM, Kayla qualified for and become the recipient of an accelerated Section 8 housing voucher; one that would give her and Lance the opportunity to move into the newly developed, state of the art apartment complex in Shelton. Safe, affordable housing was one of Kayla\u2019s initial goals for herself and her son when she came to TEAM and yet again, she achieved a success that she had often doubted she had the inner strength to do.<\/p>\n

Kayla\u2019s story is just one example of how TEAM works to holistically support families, and innovates with every available tool, resources and program to help individuals and families secure housing stability.<\/p>\n
