The average amount of money that Connecticut nonprofits distribute to homeless people has increased by 14% since 2024, according to the state’s Homeless Management Information System. Nonprofits, such as those that get federal money from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, are distributing rent assistance payments that are 14% higher than in 2024 and 49% higher than in 2020 to keep pace with rental costs. Now, the average rental subsidy given across all Connecticut regions is over $1,000. Those with some employment and other income, such as social security, average $1,400 a month. The annual report, which was conducted by Nutmeg Consulting, also showed an increase in the number of homeless people in Connecticut.
