Details: Homelessness should be non-existent in one of the wealthiest counties in one of the richest states in America. But every night the Pacific House emergency shelter in Stamford is full of homeless men. According to Portraits of Homelessness in Connecticut, a study published this year by the Connecticut Coalition to End Homeless (CCEH), emergency shelters in the state served 11,700 people last year, including more than 1,500 children; and there are approximately 3,800 men, women and children staying in Connecticut emergency shelters and transitional housing programs on any given day. If those statistics alone aren’t alarming, the study notes that "…half of all families and 40% of single adults in shelters reported that this was their first homeless experience.â€
