Question 1

Where can I find information about the city's homeless population?

Accepted Answer

Information on the homeless population in New Britain, Connecticut comes from several authoritative sources. (1) **Connecticut Coalition to End Homelessness (CCEH)** at https://cceh.org — coordinates the statewide **Homeless Management Information System (HMIS)** and publishes annual Point-in-Time (PIT) Count data. CCEH's annual data dashboard at https://cceh.org/ publishes city/region-level homelessness metrics. (2) **U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR)** at https://www.hudexchange.info/homelessness-assistance/ahar/ — federally mandated annual count by Continuum of Care (CoC). New Britain is part of the **Greater Hartford Coalition to End Homelessness CoC (CT-503)**. (3) **City of New Britain Mayor's Office / Health and Human Services** at https://www.newbritainct.gov, 27 W Main St, New Britain CT 06051, phone (860) 826-3303 — coordinates local services with regional providers. (4) **Friendship Service Center New Britain** at https://www.fsccc.com, 31 Fairview St, New Britain CT 06051, phone (860) 225-0211 — primary local emergency-shelter operator. (5) **2-1-1 Connecticut** at https://uwc.211ct.org — statewide social-services hotline; the 2-1-1 database tracks shelter availability and homelessness data, available via FOIA request. (6) **U.S. Census Bureau ACS** at https://data.census.gov — block-group-level data on housing instability, but NOT a direct homeless count. (7) **CT FOIA request** under C.G.S. §§ 1-200 et seq. — to the City of New Britain Department of Human Services for local data; 4 business day response window. **National context**: Connecticut became one of the first states to declare 'functional zero' for chronic veteran homelessness (2015) and continues progress on family/youth chronic homelessness via the CCEH Reaching Home campaign. Sources: CCEH, HUD AHAR, City of New Britain, Friendship Service Center, 2-1-1 Connecticut, U.S. Census Bureau, C.G.S. § 1-200

Question 2

How do I find a marriage record in East Hartford?

Question 3

How do I run a background check in Hartford?

Accepted Answer

Background checks for Hartford, Connecticut run through state-level agencies — not local Hartford PD. **Two paths**: (1) **CT State Police Bureau of Identification (SPBI)** for an official statewide criminal history check at https://portal.ct.gov/despp/division-of-emergency-service-and-public-protection/reports-and-records/state-police-bureau-of-identification, 1111 Country Club Rd, Middletown CT 06457, phone (860) 685-8190. **Fingerprint-based check**: $15 fingerprint fee + $75 records search = $90 total; **$75 records-search fee WAIVED for personal-review applicants prior to July 1, 2029 under SB 343 (2026)** — so a self-check is currently just $15 + Live Scan rolling fee. **Name-based search**: $36 via SPBI. **FBI national check**: add $14.50. **Live Scan locations**: Hartford PD at 253 High St (call 860-757-4000 to confirm); CT State Police troop barracks; IdentoGO sites.

Question 5

Where do I look up a divorce in Connecticut?

Accepted Answer

To look up a divorce in Connecticut, search the **Superior Court** in the judicial district where the divorce was finalized. **Connecticut Judicial Branch Civil/Family Case Look-up** at https://www.jud.ct.gov/jud2.htm or https://www.jud.ct.gov/lookup.htm — free statewide search by party name or docket number; covers all 13 Judicial Districts. **Family-law branch courthouses**: Hartford (95 Washington St), New Haven (235 Church St), Stamford-Norwalk (123 Hoyt St), Bridgeport (1061 Main St), Waterbury, New London, Litchfield, Middlesex (Middletown), Tolland (Rockville), Windham (Danielson), Danbury, Ansonia-Milford (Milford), and Putnam Geographical Area. **Search returns**: case number, parties, file date, disposition (Decree of Dissolution = divorce granted; Pending = case still active). **Certified copy of divorce decree**: order at the Clerk's office where the case was filed — **$25 per certified copy** under C.G.S. § 52-259a; non-certified $1 first page + $0.50 each additional. **CDPH does NOT issue divorce certificates in Connecticut** — Connecticut, like California for post-1984 divorces, has no statewide divorce certificate; the Superior Court Clerk's certified copy IS the legal document. **Filing fee** for a new divorce: **$360** under C.G.S. § 52-259; fee waiver on JD-FM-75 for eligible filers. **Residency requirement** under C.G.S. § 46b-44: at least 12 continuous months in CT before filing (with limited exceptions). **Sealed cases** (juvenile-related, certain protective-order and DV-related matters) are not publicly visible. **Apostille** for international use: certified copy from Clerk first, then Connecticut Secretary of State at https://portal.ct.gov/SOTS, 165 Capitol Ave, Hartford CT 06106. Sources: Connecticut Judicial Branch, C.G.S. §§ 46b-44, 52-259, 52-259a

Question 6

How can I find out if someone has an outstanding warrant in Connecticut?

Accepted Answer

Outstanding warrants in Connecticut are issued by the courts and held by the law-enforcement agency that will serve them. **Three reliable sources**: (1) **Connecticut Judicial Branch Criminal/Motor Vehicle Case Look-up** at https://www.jud.ct.gov/crim.htm — every filed case shows whether a bench warrant has been issued for failure to appear. Free, name-based search. (2) **Local arresting agency**: city/town police department or Connecticut State Police troop (Troops A–L) — call the records line directly. **CSP HQ** at 1111 Country Club Rd, Middletown CT 06457, phone (860) 685-8190. **Major-city PDs**: Bridgeport PD (203) 581-5100; Hartford PD (860) 757-4000; New Haven PD (203) 946-6304; Stamford PD (203) 977-4444; Waterbury PD (203) 574-6911; Norwalk PD (203) 854-3000; Danbury PD (203) 797-4611. (3) **CT Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP) Most Wanted** at https://portal.ct.gov/DESPP — for serious statewide fugitives. (4) **U.S. Marshals Profiled Fugitives** at https://www.justice.gov/action-center/identify-our-most-wanted-fugitives — federal warrants on Connecticut soil. **What won't show up**: confidential warrants in active investigations, sealed indictments, juvenile-court warrants. **Quash a warrant**: most courts allow a Motion to Quash that re-sets a hearing date — typical motion fee. **Strong recommendation**: if a warrant might be out for you, retain a defense attorney before walking into a station. Connecticut Public Defender at https://portal.ct.gov/Division-of-Public-Defender-Services provides free counsel for the indigent. **Voluntary surrender** on planned terms — bond posted in advance — beats a traffic-stop arrest.
