Thousands of productive people now need help from the state's human services system for the first time in their lives. The Connecticut Association for Human Services helps to make this overburdened system work. In the current economic climate, the corporate community needs to channel its support where it will have the most impact.

What makes CAHS unique? As an independent nonprofit organization, we find cost-effective solutions to critical social problems by taking an integrated approach to such issues as hunger, family health, child care and early education. We develop strategies designed to make government work better by cutting red tape and streamlining the delivery of services which meet real needs. We take a lead in advancing workable, preventive programs as more efficient and responsible than crisis-induced solutions to state problems. For our achievements, CAHS received national recognition under the Award for Innovation Program of the Peter F. Drucker Foundation for Nonprofit Management.
