Community Partnership Award
MCCA, INCORPORATED
For the Work of Joseph J. Sullivan and Dawn Wilson
The Danbury Housing Partnership’s Community Partnership Award is presented to
MCCA, Incorporated for the work of Joseph J. Sullivan and Dawn Wilson.
Under Joe’s inspired leadership, MCCA has developed an array of services and housing
opportunities for persons who are homeless or in danger of becoming homeless. Dawn
has been a key contributor to the success of MCCA’s outreach, counseling, case
management and transitional housing services. Joe and Dawn’s combined efforts
have enabled MCCA to make unmatched contributions towards preventing and ending
homelessness in Danbury through the establishment of a range of programs including a
sobering center program, detoxification services, and the soon to be opened Sunrise
Terrace transitional housing development. Recently, MCCA has sought to expand its
commitment to ending homelessness by seeking to secure Next Steps funding to create
permanent supportive housing in Danbury. MCCA has also been a valued member of
the Greater Danbury Continuum of Care with Dawn serving on the Point-In-Time
Count workgroup, the Planning Workgroup for Project Homeless Connect and chairing
the Employment workgroup that will soon hold its first employment fair.
