About Us
Liberty Community Services began operating in New Haven in 1987, originally as the Connecticut AIDS Residence Program (“CARP”), our focus was providing housing for people living with HIV/AIDS. We changed our name in the 1990’s expanding our focus to serve those living with HIV, dealing with mental health issues, substance use disorders or other chronic health issues. Our continuum of housing and support services includes a set of core programs serving over 2,000 households annually – focusing on three primary areas: housing, health, and income. Liberty supports over 300 individuals in our housing programs – with a retention rate of +90%. All of our efforts are implemented with the intention of offering sustainable housing opportunities, employment, and supports for people so that we are a stronger community, where everyone has housing and can sustain it.
