Welcome to the Western Region!

The Western Region encompasses over 50 cities and towns that receive service delivery through regional office in Bridgeport and four sub-offices.  These offices are located in Stamford, Waterbury, Danbury and Torrington.  Through the various links located below on this page, you can navigate to the office closest to you and read about the programs offered, hours of operation, as well as directions to each office.

 

Delivered through these regional offices are social service benefits including Food Stamps, Cash Assistance, and Medical Assistance.  Many additional services for children and families, adults, and the elderly, can be accessed or applied for by using the links on the left side of this page.

 

We are pleased to work with many community service organizations, such as

CTE, Inc.

Norwalk Economic Opportunity NOW, Inc.

New Opportunities, Inc.

Training, Education and Manpower, Inc.

 
These agencies provide many other social service benefits, and can be accessed through the links provided.
 

I hope that this website is helpful, and I encourage you to visit it often for changes and updates in programs.  It is important information that will link you to the appropriate services that can assist you in moving toward self-direction, self-reliance and independent living.

 

Sincerely,

Frances A. Freer
