The fundamental mission of Continuum of Care, Inc. is to provide comprehensive community-based residential and support services that enable persons with psychiatric and developmental disabilities to live as fully and independently in the community as possible.
Continuum of Care, Inc. is a non-profit, 501 (c)(3) organization that has been providing housing and residential support services to persons with psychiatric disabilities since 1966 when it opened one of the first transitional “halfway houses” in the country. Continuum of Care Inc. changed its name in 1981 (formerly New Haven Halfway House, Inc.) to reflect its ever-changing goals and philosophy.

Continuum of Care, Inc. is an integral part of the Community Services Network (CSN), a collaboration of many service providers in the Greater New Haven Area who provide services aimed at fulfilling the mission of the State Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. Continuum of Care Inc. is also an active participant in the Citywide New Haven Continuum of Care (NHCOC) collaboration.

Over the years, Continuum of Care established new partnerships and collaborations with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Connecticut Department of Developmental Services (DDS), the Housing Authority of New Haven (HANH), and the Department of Social Services (DSS).
