Open Hearth, founded in 1884, is one of Hartford’s most respected human service agencies, a residential living program for homeless and addicted men in recovery. Located in downtown Hartford, Open Hearth offers a traditional emergency shelter, a transitional living program, single room accommodations, and a home ownership program. It also operates a wood products business that serves as a work therapy program for the organization and supplies firewood to more than 1500 residences and restaurants.
CETA is proud to have sponsored a tee in Open Hearth’s Sixteenth Annual Benefit Golf Tournament held this fall at the Hartford Golf Club and which raised money for the organization’s operating budget. The honorary event chairman of the event was Boston Celtics’ player and coach K.C. Jones, who is currently special assistant to the Director of Athletics here at the University of Hartford doing color commentary for the men’s basketball team.

CETA is also connected to Open Hearth through our liaison manager, Ann Lankford, who also serves as Student Services manager for our Architecture students. Ann sits on the Executive Committee of the board, chairs the Department of Corrections Comittee, and serves on several other committees, including the 125th Anniversary Planning Committee, which has been organized to celebrate this major milestone in Open Hearth's history, which occurs in 2009.
CETA hopes to continue our connections to Open Hearth.
