Across Fairfield County and Connecticut, the housing crisis continues to deepen. Rising costs, limited supply, and growing demand have made stable housing increasingly out of reach for many neighbors. At Pacific House, the response is clear: meet urgency with action by building homes, strengthening services, and advancing solutions that last.
Over the past quarter, Pacific House has continued to expand and strengthen its housing portfolio while supporting individuals and families already in residence. Progress across the development of two permanent supportive housing properties reflects a steady commitment to solving the housing shortage and creates housing affordability for all. Partnering with clients to develop and implement individualized plans leads to long-term stability and achieves measurable outcomes that move people from crisis to home.
Notably, 51% of shelter exits transitioned into Permanent Supportive Housing, with 71% maintaining housing stability, reinforcing the effectiveness of the model. Diversion efforts also reduced pressure on the system, with 45% of assessed households successfully diverted from shelter entry. Shelter utilization averaged 87% over six months, underscoring sustained demand, while the shelter served 162 clients, and the Cold Weather Response engaged 90 additional high-risk individuals. These results demonstrate program effectiveness and are made possible through strong community partnership and sustained investment aligned with Pacific House’s mission.
