Providing dignified housing and wrap around supports for those battling Substance use disorder and/or a person experiencing mental health challenges.

Martin House serves individuals who are homeless or threatened with homelessness, the majority of who have histories of mental illness, are of low income, and are unemployed or under-employed. Over 90% of our residents have histories of mental illnesses. Many have a dual diagnosis of mental illness and substance abuse, developmental disabilities, or physical disabilities. Before coming to Martin House, many residents had been repeatedly admitted to Connecticut’s mental health institutions, and at intervals lived on the streets, in abandoned buildings, in tents in the woods, in cars or some other substandard living condition.

🎉 50 years of changing lives deserves a standing ovation!

Last night, Martin House had the honor of attending Reliance Health's 50th Anniversary Open House — and what an inspiring evening it was.

Walking through the facility, we were moved by the rich history of this incredible organization and the bright future they are building for our community. Reliance Health is a non-profit community mental health center guided by a powerful mission:

💙 "Enhance health through mental wellness."

For five decades, they have shown up for community members when it matters most — and the programs and resources they offer are nothing short of remarkable.

We are proud and grateful to partner with Reliance Health in this shared commitment to our community. Here's to the next 50 years! 🙌

Friday's Halloween party had everything — incredible food, incredible costumes, and even better company. 🎃 Our staff dressed as various sauces (a crowd favorite, apparently!), and our Residents feasted on ghost cheese pizza, Cookie Monster cupcakes, cups of dirt, and more. Moments like these are why we love what we do. 🧡

🏠✨ Every new beginning deserves a fresh start.

When a new resident walks through the doors of Martin House, they are welcomed with more than just a roof over their head — they receive a brand new Welcome Kit, assembled with care and packed with everything they need to feel at home from day one.

Each kit includes:
🛏️ A brand new twin bed-in-a-bag set with comforter & pillow
🚿 Bath towels & facecloths
🧴 Shampoo, conditioner, body wash & soap
🪒 Shaving cream & razors
🦷 Toothbrush & toothpaste
👟 Socks
🌿 Deodorant

Because everyone deserves to feel human. No questions asked. No judgment. Ever.

We also keep these essentials stocked year-round — because many of our residents live on extremely tight budgets, and no one should ever have to worry about the basics.

💛 Here's where YOU come in.

We are running low on some key items and would love your help replenishing our supply. If you'd like to donate any of the following, we would be so grateful:

✅ Soap & Body Wash
✅ Shampoo
✅ Shaving Cream & Razors
✅ Bath Towels
✅ Deodorant
✅ Toothpaste & Toothbrushes

Every single item donated goes directly into the hands of someone who needs it most.

📩 Ready to help? Reach out to Heather at [email protected]
— and thank you for being part of our community. 💙

🙏✨ A Heart Full of Gratitude ✨🙏

We are beyond grateful for the incredible generosity of The First Congregational Church of Old Lyme and their life-changing donation to our Food Security Program!

At Martin House, we believe that no one can focus on healing when they're worried about their next meal. That's why we are proud to provide 3 nourishing meals, every single day, 7 days a week for ALL of our residents — no exceptions, no barriers.

When the worry of "where will I eat today?" is removed, something powerful happens. Our residents can:

🎯 Focus on their recovery goals
📚 Pursue their educational goals
💼 Work toward their employment goals

Food is more than nourishment — it's stability. It's dignity. It's hope.

The First Congregational Church of Old Lyme understands that, and their generous support makes it all possible. 💛

✨ 44 Years of Purpose, Passion & Community ✨

On September 18th, we had the absolute honor of marking a milestone that fills our hearts with overwhelming gratitude — our 44th Anniversary — surrounded by the very people who make our mission possible.

Forty-four years. Let that sink in. 💛

None of it — not a single year, not a single moment — would have been possible without you. Our donors, volunteers, community partners, and friends are not just supporters — you are the heartbeat of everything we do.

Celebrating this evening with you by our side reminded us exactly why we do what we do. The warmth, the laughter, the generosity, and the love you poured into the room will stay with us long after the night ended. You showed up — and that means everything.

To our incredible sponsors and donors — your belief in our mission fuels our work every single day. Thank you for investing in something greater than all of us.

To our tireless volunteers — your time, energy, and dedication are gifts we never take for granted.

To our community partners and friends — thank you for walking this journey alongside us. Your presence is a blessing.

As we reflect on 44 years of impact, we step boldly into the future — with you. The best is truly yet to come. 🌟

We hope you enjoy these beautiful memories captured by the incredibly talented Magick In The Wild Photography 📸 — scroll through and relive the magic!
