About HRA

The mission of the Human Resources Agency of New Britain, Inc. (HRA) is to improve the quality of life by helping people achieve economic and social potential; responding to the causes and conditions of poverty; and building stronger individuals, families and communities in the greater New Britain area.

The Human Resources Agency of New Britain, Inc. is a multi-service non-profit organization dedicated to increasing economic self-sufficiency among individuals and families residing in greater New Britain, Bristol and surrounding towns. HRA's five program divisions house its wide variety of services; children and families, community and neighborhood, employment and training, energy and housing, and health and wellness.

The Board of Directors represents the community that HRA serves. It is comprised of equal representation from the public sector (elected officials); the private sector (business and community organizations) and the neighborhoods (residents served by programs).

Last year HRA helped over 26,000 individuals and families move closer to becoming self-sufficient. By partnering with local, state and federal agencies and businesses, we help to make the most of all available resources.
