OUR MISSION

Preparing Our Community to Meet Life's Challenges



The Community Renewal Team Inc. is an anti-poverty agency serving people and families throughout the Connecticut River Valley. Head Start, Meals on Wheels, alternatives to incarceration, supportive housing and shelter, and many other CRT programs give people the skills and the resources to become self-sufficient and to thrive.

When America's Johnson's War on Poverty began in 1963, the founders of CRT were already at work addressing the needs of the poor and disadvantaged in Hartford. In 1999, the Community Renewal Team of Greater Hartford Inc. merged with Community Action for Greater Middlesex County to form the Community Renewal Team Inc.

CRT now runs major programs in 59 Connecticut towns, including Meals on Wheels, Head Start, homebuyer and energy assistance, nutrition and youth services.
