Community Services Administration, City of New Haven

The Community Services Administration (CSA) is firmly committed to addressing the health and well being of all New Haven residents. Encompassing the Youth Services Department, Elderly Services Department, the Health Department and the State-Administered General Assistance (SAGA Support), CSA is the health and social service arm of City Hall, dedicated to creating opportunities for all residents to thrive in our vibrant city!

Since its inception, CSA has worked collaboratively with community partners and city agencies to create (a) the Street Outreach Worker Program addressing youth engagement and violence prevention; (b) afterschool programming through the “Open Schools” concept; (c) the Elm City Resident Card to promote community and civic engagement; and (d) the Prison Re-entry Program. In addition, CSA devotes resources to address homelessness, teen pregnancy prevention, early childhood development and issues impacting women and girls.
