In 1886, a group of community minded women started an organization to help young migrant families adjust to life in the industrious and growing community of Bridgeport, CT. One of the founders, Sarah Hall, donated her home as a residence for young women. The women of "Hall Home" received training and job placement assistance in the domestic and industrial sectors of the community. During the turn of the century, Hall House expanded into two residences in downtown Bridgeport and began offering nursery and day-care services. Hall House continued to expand and in 1957 became what in now known as Hall Neighborhood House.
HNH moved to its present day location on the east side. Hall Neighborhood House has continued to expand and now serves the Greater Bridgeport area as a leader in social services in the community. Hall Neighborhood House now offers programs in day-care, preschool, social services, youth and senior citizen programs, affordable housing, job training, performing arts and recreation.
