Planning for Housing

Start planning for how and where you want to live.

Rent or own? Stay put, downsize or relocate? As you prepare for the end of work, you may find yourself rethinking where and how you want to live. It’s important to start planning now for how you want your life to look and how your needs and abilities may change over the next decade and beyond.

Think ahead about housing. Housing is important but often there’s a waitlist. If you know you’ll be needing housing in the future, please apply now as wait times may be long. My Place CT does not provide housing, only resources to help you find housing and plan for current or future needs.

If you or someone you know is at risk of having to leave their home with nowhere to stay...

Please call 2-1-1 and press Option 3 to speak with a 211 Housing Crisis Specialist. The line is open 24 hours a day.
