We’re starting this week with incredible news: Wings of Hope Recovery has been approved for the seCTerRise grant, a highly competitive program funded through the Department of Economic and Community Development. This grant is designed to support small businesses and organizations in Connecticut that are making an impact in their communities, and we’re honored to have been chosen from such an impressive pool of applicants.

On Saturday, August 30, Wings of Hope had the honor of joining Hartford Healthcare – Rushford and many other local organizations for International Overdose Awareness Day at the Meriden Green. This powerful community event brought together recovery resources, prevention services, and families who share the same mission: to end overdose and support lasting recovery.

In a powerful step forward for recovery support in Hartford County, Wings of Hope Recovery is officially opening its newest sober living residence in the heart of Newington, Connecticut. With a proven model rooted in structure, dignity, and evidence-based best practices, Wings of Hope expands into this town with a clear mission: to empower individuals in recovery to rebuild their lives—one step, one phase, and one day at a time.

Recovery housing is more than just a roof over one’s head — it’s a critical lifeline that provides safety, stability, and a pathway to holistic healing. For women facing unique challenges such as past trauma, systemic inequality, and public health vulnerabilities, recovery housing offers a secure, supportive environment that paves the way for lasting transformation.

The holiday season is a time for connection, comfort, and renewal — a time when we all yearn for a place to call home. For individuals on their recovery journey, this season can be especially challenging, but it also offers a powerful opportunity for transformation.

Recovery housing is a life-changing solution for individuals seeking long-term stability and sobriety. At Wings of Hope Foundation, we’ve seen firsthand how structured, supportive environments lead to lasting change.
