SOCIAL IMPACT
DEVELOPMENT
The North Hartford Partnership is a nonprofit organization working with the community to advance equitable social and economic development in North Hartford.
SWIFT FACTORY
An 80,000 square foot commercial & community campus in Hartford’s Northeast Neighborhood.
North Hartford Partnership operates the Swift Factory, a formerly abandoned gold leafing factory and 2 adjacent homes, which has been transformed into a hub of employment, entrepreneurship, community engagement, and services.
Swift opened its doors in the fall of 2020 after a ten-year community engagement, fundraising, planning, and construction effort. During that period, residents identified the desire for jobs and economic opportunities. Based on those needs, Swift includes:
Incubator kitchens and office space for local entrepreneurs to start and grow their businesses.
A planned workforce development hub to connect residents to jobs in growing regional industries.
A Head Start facility run by the Capitol Region Education Council.
HOUSING TRUST
The North Hartford Housing Trust is a nonprofit organization fostering housing stability, local control of housing and healthier, safer living conditions in North Hartford.
The North Hartford Housing Trust currently owns 18 rental units and plans to grow to 100 rental units spread across the North Hartford Promise Zone by 2025. Apartments will be rented at affordable prices to North Hartford’s residents not to exceed 50% AMI.
We believe that the North Hartford Housing Trust will only be successful if residents and community stakeholders have a voice in the management of the properties. To that end, the North Hartford Housing Trust will be governed by a local Board of Directors, which is composed of tenants, community members, and stakeholders.
