On May 14th, HART is proud to participate in Connecticut Non-Profit Day at the State Capitol, an event coordinated by The Alliance of Nonprofits. We’re honored to be one of just 50 organizations selected to represent the vital work of our sector.

We are pleased to announce that HART United’s Board of Directors has appointed Dew Rosado Torres as our next Executive Director, who began in March 2025!

Nestled in North Haven, Connecticut, HART United began with a simple yet powerful idea: that individuals with developmental disabilities deserve more than just care—they deserve dignity, choice, and a place in the community.

In 1990, Elaine O’Connor walked through the doors of HART United thinking she was starting just another job. She had no idea it would become a 35-year journey of love, purpose, and deep connection — not only with the individuals she served, but with the heart of the organization itself.

Congratulations, Michael for being the recipient of a $2,000 grant from The Probus Club of Greater New Haven.  Michael will be using this money towards his summer camp tuition at Horizons this upcoming summer.
