About Connections

Connections is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that has been providing community-based housing, health care and employment services in Delaware since 1985. Through our housing, employment, prevention and treatment programs, we will serve nearly 10,000 unduplicated individuals in 2011 in 55 separate grassroots locations in all of the major population centers across the state, including New Castle, Kent, and Sussex Counties. Connections is the largest provider of housing for persons with incomes at or below 30% of area median in Delaware. With more than 500 units of permanent housing, we will provide 180,000 nights of safe, affordable housing this year.

What We Do

Our services are unique in that they address every aspect of an individual’s life and needs. Connections helps its service recipients to obtain and maintain employment and housing, receive benefits and income, gain independent living skills, and acquire education. Our programs promote stability and self-sufficiency for extremely vulnerable adults and youth, allowing them to increase their skills and income, get a job, find and keep housing, and improve their health outcomes. The services we provide are available to anyone in Delaware who needs them, regardless of where they live, the extent of their problems, or their ability to pay. Our programs are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). CARF accreditation guarantees that our programs have passed an in-depth review, which takes place every three years to ensure continued compliance and high quality services.

Our Mission

The mission of Connections is to help vulnerable and disenfranchised individuals, families, children and youth to improve their lives by providing a comprehensive array of affordable and accessible primary medical, mental health and substance abuse treatment, employment, and housing opportunities that help them to become accepted and productive members of their communities.
