Reject the Application for the Transitional House in Black Rock

Victory! The creator of this petition declared the campaign a success. You can still sign the petition to show support.

Please reject the application for the 41-bed transition facility in Black Rock for convicted felons eligible for early release.

Why is this important?

On January 26 the Bridgeport Planning and Zoning Committee will hear a petition from an organization that wants to build a 41-bed transition facility in Black Rock for convicted felons eligible for early release. The proposed site is within five blocks of the Burroughs Community Center and Wakeman Boys & Girls Club. The developer wants to buy and demolish three properties (39 Hubbell Street, 254 Orland Street, 873 Ellsworth Street) to build one large detention facility.
