Company History
Under the direction of a group of citizens who were committed to aiding homeless persons, South Park Inn, Inc was formed in 1982 in order to assist homeless people and advocate for solutions to homelessness in the Greater Hartford area. The group incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation, raised funds, purchased the former South Park Methodist Church, renovated and opened the Emergency Shelter in July 1984. In 1989 we renovated the church sanctuary and opened the Transitional Living Program.
The need for permanent supportive housing for people with severe limitations led to the creation of Plimpton House, in 1995.
