The Office of Violence Prevention is developing a comprehensive resource guide for Hartford residents. This guide will compile every available service and program in Hartford – especially those designed to support victims- addressing a critical gap in accessible community information. It will be available as both a physical copy and a mobile-friendly version, ensuring that residents can easily access vital information anytime, anywhere. In addition, the guide will feature an interactive dashboard and a GIS map, allowing users to quickly locate and navigate to the resources they need. This multifaceted approach is designed to empower residents with all the tools necessary to access support services and enhance community safety.
