About this Event
The unhoused community in New Haven is growing. The pandemic, rising housing costs, and inflation has led to an increase in people experiencing homelessness across the city. In 2022, a family in one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods opened up their backyard for people to live in, aspiring to create a self-governing community separate from the overburdened city shelter system. We follow the Rosette Neighborhood Village for nearly two years as they try to run a consensus-based governance model while navigating state and city zoning regulations, addiction, mental health issues, and basic survival. Witness stories of joy and strength amidst the hardships of homelessness as residents build a neighborhood and their future together.
