The facility isn't currently available for rentals. We are working to find a reservation system and cost scale that will best accommodate the community. Once it is confirmed, you will be able to reserve rooms through the Q House website.
Who are the partners?
The partners in the building are: the Stetson Public Library (the branch across the street will be now at the Q-House), the Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center, a community health center, the Dixwell/Newhallville Senior Center and LEAP, a youth program. The Q House also has other community partners that it works with to provide programs, services, and resources to the Q House community.
What is LEAP’s role at the Q House?
LEAP will have two roles at the Dixwell Community House. The first one will be to manage the building and maintain positive and organic relationships with the New Haven community.
