  • Shelter List – New Haven

    We provide a directory of shelters that provide assistance to the homeless. We do not directly provide aid ourselves, but provide local resources for you to find. Most major U.S. cities including New Haven, Connecticut, offer some type of shelter for persons in need. There are also thousands of local non-profit organizations that offer help. We currently have listed all of the shelters we could find in New Haven.

    Pet Friendly Homeless Shelters
    Today more and more shelters are providing areas at their shelters for pets. This mainly includes dogs.

    It is still the case that most shelters do not accept pets. This is also one of the main reasons why homeless do not see out shelters for aid. They want to stay with their pets.

    On ShelterList.com, we list the full details of pet friendly shelters when we locate them. We realize this is a valuable resource for the homeless and these lists of pet friendly shelters are hard to find. So, when we do locate these shelters, we list them on the website.

  • Shelter List – New Haven

    We provide a directory of shelters that provide assistance to the homeless. We do not directly provide aid ourselves, but provide local resources for you to find. Most major U.S. cities including New Haven, Connecticut, offer some type of shelter for persons in need. There are also thousands of local non-profit organizations that offer help. We currently have listed all of the shelters we could find in New Haven.

    Pet Friendly Homeless Shelters
    Today more and more shelters are providing areas at their shelters for pets. This mainly includes dogs.

    It is still the case that most shelters do not accept pets. This is also one of the main reasons why homeless do not see out shelters for aid. They want to stay with their pets.

    On ShelterList.com, we list the full details of pet friendly shelters when we locate them. We realize this is a valuable resource for the homeless and these lists of pet friendly shelters are hard to find. So, when we do locate these shelters, we list them on the website.

There are hundreds of AA meetings in Connecticut everyday, meeting at almost any time of day. Click here to find a meeting near you.

    AA meetings are designated as either “open” or “closed.” Every meeting will have either an “O” for open or a “C” for closed next to it in the meeting listing. Anyone may attend an open meeting, whether or not he or she identifies as an alcoholic. We encourage anyone who wishes to learn more about AA to attend an open meeting. Closed meetings are limited to people with a desire to stop drinking.

  • Alcoholics Anonymous of CT

    Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

    If you think you may be an alcoholic or you have a desire to stop drinking, we urge you to learn more about AA The best way to learn more is to attend an AA meeting. There are hundreds of AA meetings in Connecticut everyday, meeting at almost any time of day. Click here to find a meeting near you.

    AA meetings are designated as either “open” or “closed.” Every meeting will have either an “O” for open or a “C” for closed next to it in the meeting listing. Anyone may attend an open meeting, whether or not he or she identifies as an alcoholic. We encourage anyone who wishes to learn more about AA to attend an open meeting. Closed meetings are limited to people with a desire to stop drinking. If you have a desire to stop drinking, you are welcome at any closed meeting of AA.
