“When you’re elderly and you
apply for a job, it goes against you. They say age isn’t
supposed to matter, but it does. And if you’ve been
incarcerated, it’s a black mark against you; and you
haven’t worked in a while, so that’s another
mark against you. Coalition Employment is essential, it gives
you a helping hand to get you off the street and establish
yourself again.”

going in Hartford for people who need to transition into the

“I had no life until I got into Resettlement.
They pushed me; they were my backbone; and they made a new
person out of me. Today, I’m clean and have a beautiful
relationship with my family. I wake up and realize this
is not a dream, it’s real; and I thank Resettlement for
that.”
