Not just a provider of shelter BHA shall seek, through programs and coalitions with others, to move residents from more deeply subsidized low-income public housing units to less deeply subsidized affordable rental or homeownership units - from dependency to independence. BHA will work with the State of Connecticut and with surrounding communities to ensure that those communities provide affordable housing resources to their own residents, so that BHA can focus on the needs of Bridgeport residents. The housing units that BHA develops, owns, funds, manages, or subsidizes shall be attractive, well managed, and provide safe and secure living environments to residents of these properties and their neighbors. BHA shall conduct all of its activities with professionalism and high standards of ethical behavior, upholding the principles of A.C.T. - accountability, communication and transparency - in its policies, rules and operating procedures.

A leader in child development, Penfield Children`s Center creates a positive start in life for infants and children, many of whom have developmental delays or disabilities, by providing early education, health services and family programming. To carry out its mission, Penfield delivers research-based programs at the critical time of early brain development when physical, cognitive, language, social, and self-help skills are formed. Penfield Children`s Center is named in honor of Dr. Wilder Penfield (1891-1976), a world-renowned neurosurgeon who strongly advocated early intervention for children with developmental delays and disabilities. His quote, “never underestimate the capacity of the very young, and never, never let them down,” has been the foundation of Penfield`s mission since 1967. His knowledge and wisdom underlie our philosophy of care for infants and young children even today.
