In December 2024, a strategic partnership was formed between Prime Time House and The Connection. It’s aimed to enhance the overall impact of both agencies by leveraging their shared focus on mental health, experience with similar populations, and complementary services.
“This affiliation marks a crucial moment for Prime Time House, enabling us to grow. With the added capacity of The Connection, we’ll be able to meet the community’s mental health needs while supporting our current members,” said Jeff Geddes, Prime Time House’s Past Board President.
The Connection was selected to partner by Prime Time House due to the alignment of their missions. Lisa DeMatteis-Lepore, CEO of the Connection, added,
“Both organizations share a mission to serve Connecticut’s most vulnerable citizens. From the moment I stepped into the Prime Time House Clubhouse, the environment of a safe, caring, and home inspired environment truly touched my heart. Together we will combine our resources and expertise to enhance our impact for the community.”
Both organizations are dedicated to improving mental health and providing essential services to the community. This affiliation will allow Prime Time House to benefit from The Connection’s extensive resources and network.
Prime Time House will retain its name, location, and nonprofit status. The organizations will remain separately incorporated, ensuring that Prime Time House’s core services and activities remain intact. Additionally, funds raised for Prime Time House will continue to support its programs exclusively.
Prime Time House members can look forward to service enhancements and increased community linkages through this affiliation with The Connection. This partnership represents a significant step forward in Prime Time House’s commitment to providing comprehensive support and services to those in need.
