United Way of Greater New Haven usually hosts events that would welcome kids. I would recommend looking into that!

If you need a night out of your car (especially if it’s cold!) know that nonstop during the winter the city runs several warming centers for overnight stays. You can access the hours and addresses via 211. Some of them have beds and serve meals, etc. I would recommend calling 211 to access warning centers, shelter if you’re interested, and possibly getting connected to case management resources to assist you along your journey. HOUSING- Also, look into the “I’m Home initiative run by New Haven (livable cities initiative website) as long as you fall below 300% of the federal poverty line they can pay a security deposit and sometimes utilities startup costs for you! Best of luck. Stay safe and warm.
