Homeshare Feasability Study

Homesharing Feasibility Study

The Beth-El Center invites qualified consultants to submit proposals to conduct a home sharing feasibility study to determine the viability, sustainability, and projected impact of establishing a homesharing pilot program for the Town of Woodbridge, CT and City of Milford, CT. This study will assess the need, readiness, operational requirements, funding feasibility, and community impact of implementing a home sharing model. Please find the complete Request for Proposal here. Completed proposals are due on February 27th, 2026.

No Freeze

We can all feel the weather is becoming much colder... The Beth-El Center operates a warming center in our Community Kitchen for unsheltered individuals from November 24th through April 1st. This is crucial support and seen as a lifesaving program in the community. We not only offer a warm place to escape the cold, but we also offer food and hot beverages to our guests. This year, 45% more of our unhoused neighbors will need access to Warming Centers so they do not freeze overnight. Thank you for supporting this lifesaving program.

A Bountiful Way to Support Us

Donating stock to the Beth-El Center is one of the most discerning ways to give. Gifts of securities can work to your benefit when:
• Your stocks have appreciated greatly since your purchased them
• A surge in value of one of your holdings has thrown your portfolio off balance
