Mission

CAHS improves opportunity and prosperity for Connecticut’s children and families by shaping policies and programs that significantly and measurably reduce poverty and promote a secure future. We are inspired by a belief in shared prosperity and the vision of a Connecticut where all children and families thrive and, regardless of income level, contribute to and share in Connecticut’s growth.

About

CAHS coordinates a network of community-based Volunteer Income Tax Assistance sites to provide free tax preparation and access to the federal and state earned income tax credits (EITCs) and federal child tax credit. In 2017, CAHS coordinated 50 state sites through this Internal Revenue Service program. The sites filed tax returns with 23 million in federal refunds and credits for 15,000 households. CAHS also provided asset-building services to help families move out of poverty. This is our most important program work at the moment. CAHS sends out timely information and legislative updates to the family economic success and early childhood listserv of more than 1,200 individuals.
