MERIDEN, CT — The Midstate Chamber of Commerce is happy to share that the WYSH House will be holding a Ribbon Cutting on Wednesday, June 9th to celebrate the grand opening of their new housing development. The Women and Families Center (WFC) in Meriden has provided services for vulnerable populations in central CT since 1889. Today they are taking steps to provide HOPE for homeless youth by providing a safe and comfortable home for them. Their newest project, WYSH House, will provide 12 apartments for youth struggling with homelessness. WYSH House is now open and accepting new residents.

There will be a WYSH House Ribbon Cutting on Wednesday, June 9 at 11am. This will be at WYSH House, naturally, at 169 Colony Street, Meriden. In the back of the building there is an area of the parking lot where the 2nd floor over hangs the parking lot. We will set up under the overhang. This will be attended by the Commissioner of the Department of Housing; dignitaries from the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority and Eversource; and local elected officials.
