The Board and employees of Immaculate are proud of our
organization and all it does for the clients and residents we serve. We
are a full-service agency. We provide overnight shelter for clients in
desperate need of a place to stay, we house more than 125 formerly
homeless individuals in scattered-site apartments across the City of
Hartford and in our Casa de Francisco apartment building, and we
search out and help those who live on the streets, under bridges and
along riverbanks through our mobile outreach program.
John C. Mayo
President, Board of Directors
None of this would be possible without the state and federal funding; individual,
foundation and corporate donations; and fundraising activities that make up the
financial activity highlighted in this report. If you are a supporter of ICSHC, we thank
you for all that you do to allow us to carry our mission to the people we serve.
Carlos Vazquez
We are at a critical juncture in our history. After more than 30 years of operating out of
a former church building on the corner of Park and Hungerford Streets in Hartford, we
hope to soon be moving our homeless shelter to a

Immaculate’s Unsung Hero
Hartford, and a migrant from Cidra,
Puerto Rico, passed away on January 26,
2014.
The Shelter greatly benefitted from her
work ethic, which has clearly been passed
along to her daughter. Estebania’s spirit
continues with us through her work,
memories and daughter, Diana. Diana
worked her way up as a teenager who
volunteered her time at the Shelter, to
Residential Line Staff, Case Manager
and today as the agency’s Housing and
Facilities Manager. She works with the
various landlords from whom the agency
rents apartments for clients around the
City and oversees facilities at the Shelter.
Immaculate history has it that in 1981,
Father Jim Donagher opened-up the
basement of the Immaculate Conception
Church on Park Street in Hartford as a
shelter in response to finding a homeless
man frozen to death feet away from
the front steps of the Church. Father
Donagher said upon a visit some years
ago about that day in 1981, “Initially we
were responding to great misfortune,
an image that I will carry to my grave. I
also believed in an active church, ‘doing’
rather than ‘waiting’ to be asked.”
That is exactly what Estebania Rivera
and a few other women parishioners of
the Immaculate Conception Church did,
getting all of their children and families
involved as well. Estebania, in particular,
was vital in the upkeep of the makeshift
shelter. She willingly volunteered several
hours daily to help do whatever was
needed at the shelter and always had her
daughter Diana by her side. Together,
along with the help of others, they cooked
and cleaned the church so it would be a
life-saving resource for the community.
This past winter, the Immaculate family
lost this strong-willed founding member,
Estebania Rivera. Ms. Rivera, 77, of
The late Estebania Rivera is an unsung
hero of the Immaculate Conception
Shelter. It is often the church pastor,
executive director or CEO who gets credit
for creating things, but the truth is, leaders
are only as successful as the quality of
people who they can rally to the cause to
execute the leader’s vision. Her legacy lives
on through her family’s continued service
to the agency. Immaculate Conception
Shelter & Housing Corporation is grateful
for the dedication, compassion and hard
work of Estebania Rivera.
“Heroes are not giant statues framed
against a red sky. They are people
who say: This is my community, and
it is my responsibility to make it
better…”
—Studs Terkel

Corporation to the
Hartford region.
In our drive to
prevent and end
homelessness
in Connecticut,
Immaculate
provides everything
from housing to
support services to
a dedicated staff
to a history of
simply being there.
In fact, every action
from Immaculate
is infused with the
belief that housing
is a human right.”
