Thanks to the commercial real estate and building industry, United Way is also able to
proactively help prevent and reduce homelessness in our community.
Since 2021, a diverse group of commercial real estate and building industry professionals
come together annually to raise awareness and resources to prevent children and families
from becoming homeless and to secure stable housing for those living in shelters.
THE Commercial Real Estate and Building Industry Breakfast: Building Foundations has
raised nearly $2 million cumulatively since its inception. Last year alone, their support
proactively ensured more than 1,500 people across the 860 region secured or
retained safe housing and shelter accommodations.
Sponsorships are available for the 5th Annual Building
Foundations Breakfast, taking place April 23, 2025 at
the Connecticut Convention Center.
