Human Resources Agency Of New Britain Inc

Energy assistance is a program for people who have difficulty paying the cost of heating their home. Hra is the official provider of the energy assistance program funded by the connecticut energy assistance program (ceap) to serve over 4000 households in new britain, bristol, and four other communities. Ceap helps low income households pay their primary heat source bills. Through an intake and assessment it is determined how hra and its programs can best help lower energy costs. In addition, customers can access services including case management, resources, referrals, training and other social services which strengthen individuals/families' ability to maintain independence and promote self-sufficiency.

Community and neighborhood: hra community services case managers directly benefit residents of the communities we serve by building the safety net of support systems necessary for residents accessible within their community. Hra community services case managers assist clients in accessing services for a variety of needs including job search/retention, housing searches, negotiations with landlords, assistance with deposits and rental agreements, and with follow up to ensure that clients remain permanently housed. Often low-income, homeless, disabled and/or elderly residents need assistance to obtain or maintain stability in their housing (such as energy assistance, budgeting, job search or tax assistance), to get access to nutritious food, or to get access to health care.
