The team at Open Doors works hard every day to ensure that the people we serve are welcomed and respected. Sadly the need is too great for any organization to meet alone. We all have to work together to help ensure that no one has to be homeless. #endhomelessness #notmebutwe

A two-bedroom apartment in the Stamford/Norwalk area costs over 50% more than the Connecticut average. You need to earn $102,520 or more than THREE full-time jobs at minimum wage to be able to afford one. Rents in this area also keep increasing beyond the state average.

The growing cost of living is a major factor in people being displaced from their communities and, at the most dire, falling into homelessness.
Let's keep working to ensure that everyone has a sustainable place to call home! #notmebutwe #endhomelessness
