Housing
University housing is not available for the fall semester. However, several families and individuals in the New Haven area have offered to make spare room in their homes or have a vacant apartment for displaced students, postdoctoral trainees, and faculty members. All inquiries pertaining to housing should be directed to The Department of Human Resources. Please email all requests for housing assistance to the Department of Human Resources, where it will be "matched" with any offers that seem suitable.
