MyThreeSons Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 A young man from our church -- a homeschool graduate -- has been accepted for a Summer internship at a company in Naugatuck, CT. He is looking into housing options for those several weeks. If you know anything that might be helpful, please post or PM me. Thanks!

astrid Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I live about a half hour north of Naugatuck and visit frequently for work. What would you like to know? astrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you like to know? astrid sorry -- it's been a crazy couple of days. Mainly, he'd like some guidance in finding a safe, affordable place to stay.

Naugatuck is kind of an old, decaying mill town like so many small towns in New England. It's not dangerous, but not the kind of place you'd keep your doors unlocked either. astrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 We used to live in New Haven and I remember driving through Naugatuck and thinking it was a little depressing. I think there was a lot of industry there at one time... I remember the Hershey's factory closing down and apparently they used to make naugahyde there. Still, it isn't as crime-ridden as New Haven or Waterbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 This is something short term? So we're talking hotels? Not sure where he'd live for a month or less otherwise. I would tend to head east, maybe towards the Cheshire/Wallingford area. Agree w/PP that Naugatuck's slightly depressed/dingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Summer Internship. He'd need something furnished. I think they're maybe looking at an extended-stay motel type of situation. I would have thought that the HR people at the company would be all about helping him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
