Bridgeport Community Care Center
Bridgeport, CT
United States
Bridgeport Rescue Mission acquired and is adapting a former nursing home in Bridgeport, CT into the Community Care Center, a multi-purpose social service agency. BRM chose the 60,599 square foot, five-story vacant building after an extensive community needs assessment, advancing Bridgeport’s redevelopment goals and facilitating access to much needed services in a neighborhood struggling with poverty and hunger. The building will ultimately house 55 rooms with a total of 145 beds, a small health clinic, community meals program, fresh food pantry, and a myriad of services necessary to transform the lives of disadvantaged individuals and families.
BRM provides food, shelter, clothing, education, job training, and counseling to neighbors in need. BRM also operates the largest free healthy groceries distribution program in southern CT.
