Marrakech

Overview:

Founded in 1971, Marrakech established the first halfway house in Connecticut for women with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Since then we’ve continued developing programs and services throughout the State of Connecticut encompassing support to people with challenging behaviors, families with complex needs, youth who are at risk, and people without disabilities who are unemployed and underemployed. We assist individuals who face barriers to securing employment, connecting to necessary supportive services, accessing housing, and participating fully as contributing members of the community. The individuals we serve are encouraged to strive for long-term goals such as a higher level of self-sufficiency and greater acceptance by the community in which they live.
