About CONNECT:

One in three Chelsea households earns less than $25,000. Achieving the American dream of economic security is hard work, but our lowincome and immigrant families can break out of poverty with financial services, education and employment resources. Six of Chelsea’s most respected community organizations have come together to co-locate and bundle their services, leveraging existing resources to support transformative economic mobility for low-income families.

Understand the Model, Join the Discussion
For those interested in an in depth conversation, join us in the afternoon for a symposium. From poverty to economic resilience: a look at the challenges facing low-income Massachusetts residents, best practices for supporting individuals on a path to economic security and cost effective models for service delivery in a tight economy.
There is no charge for participation in the symposium. To download a full agenda please click here.
