“Our youth are our greatest asset.”

The City of New Haven is proud to present Tent City 2011—a season long campaign to raise awareness about the impact of homelessness on youth! Unlike years past, the Tent City 2011 campaign provides multiple opportunities for individuals, families, communities, organizations and businesses to get involved and support efforts to improve the lives of homeless youth in the City of New Haven. Throughout the campaign, you can donate online (click “Donate” at uwgnh.org/tentcity) or write a check to "United Way" with “Tent City 2011” written in the memo line of the check.
