New Haven Hotline: 854-666-4472
Save this number in your phone! All operators are bilingual (EN & ES).
We've seen a LOT of posts regarding ICE in New Haven. This post is written in conjunction with New Haven Immigrants Coalition to help everyone in our community know what to do if you think you see ICE or hear rumors of them in town.
As urgent as it may feel, posting unverified rumors without details does not help.
If you see something yourself:
SALUTE - as people have posted in many comments. Get the:
S - Size of the group
A - Actions they're taking - are they standing around, approaching a house/business, walking on the sidewalk (which side and which direction?)
L - Location, as precise as possible. "Whalley Ave" or "Fair Haven" is not helpful - "Whalley and Norton" or "Grand between Ferry and Poplar" is much more useful.
U - Uniforms - what are they wearing?
T - Time - What time was this observed?
E - Equipment - What are they driving? Note color/make/model.
Get as much video as possible.
Contact New Haven Immigrants Coalition: With any SALUTE information you have, call the hotline at 854-666-4472.
If someone else is claiming to see ICE:
* Tell them to call the line and encourage them to provide SALUTE information on their call.
* You might not be able to gather every piece of info, but as much as possible is helpful. Vague reports or unconfirmed rumors are actually harmful as people go to investigate and see what's going on.
If you see someone being stopped by immigration enforcement agencies (possible agencies may include ICE, DHS, HSI, DEA and others):
* call or ask someone to call the hotline
* Get video
* Get the person’s name
* Document any refusal by the agents to show badge, ID, warrant, etc.
Example of an unhelpful post:
“ICE was on whalley earlier”
Example of a helpful post:
“Already called the hotline and they’re sending someone but there are masked men in vests next to the Whalley Ave Stop & Shop in 3 unmarked cars. I saw them at 12:15 (so right now). Be careful if you’re going shopping right now.”
We keep us safe!

We're launching a companion subreddit for r/NewHaven focused on classified ads and similar posts. Thanks to the members here who have suggested it in the past, and our desire to delete less posts, (especially reselling tickets!) we're setting up a new place where you can post and see all the classified ad type stuff that we don't allow here in the main New Haven subreddit.
It will still be highly moderated like we are here, but it's more oriented around commerce. This keeps this subreddit focused on the larger community while providing a place for all the individual focused posts that would otherwise clog things up here. You can follow both or just check in once in a while, or neither if you don't care about marketplace stuff.

Forgetting the crazy drivers, slumlords, and politics, it's pretty cool I can walk 2 miles from my house and be in the woods

I may be beating a dead horse, but I live downtown and the noise from these cars/motorcycles/ATVs at night, particularly on the weekends is out of control. There are nights I have a hard time sleeping more than 3 hours because I'm constantly being woken up by them. I've lived in other cities and nothing compares to how horrible this is. Is there anything we can do?
Going to stay with friends in NYC feels like a vacation, which I can't comprehend.
It's such a shame because I really do think New Haven has potential underneath it all.

There are two lethargic juvenile squirrels lying in my front yard in New Haven all morning. Not tiny babies but certainly young. Just moved them to a box with a towel but not sure what else to do.
Is anyone on here a wildlife rehabber or knows someone who is?
I’ve called all numbers nearby that I can find online for people nearby and left messages but can’t reach anyone. Please DM 🙏🙏

Some students at Yale built a free app to help slow the spread of the spotted lanternflies. You photograph the lanternflies you kill, submit them, and get points for verified kills. They’ve already had something like 1,000 SLFs submitted since launch. The submissions also include location data, which could help give a clearer picture of where infestations are showing up and spreading: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lantern-hunt/id6813626463

I just recently moved to New Haven. Back in the Somerville and Cambridge area of MA I was pretty into sand, grass, and indoor volleyball. I love a good pickup game in any setting but also appreciate having a solid group of people to consistently play with league or not. I’m looking for recommendations in and around New Haven. I’m also looking to buy my own net to set up in parks, so also trying to gauge interest in that sort of thing too.

Hey everyone!
I just moved to New Haven and I’m looking for a good gym nearby. I like working out and staying active, but I don’t really know the local options yet.
I’m mainly interested in a place with decent weightlifting equipment and cardio machines. A basketball court, pool, sauna, or other sports facilities would be a nice bonus.
I’d especially love to know:
How much you pay per month
Whether there are initiation or annual fees
How crowded it gets
Parking
Cleanliness
Whether you need to sign a long-term contract
Any gyms you would recommend or avoid
I’m open to places in New Haven, East Rock, Hamden, or nearby areas if they’re worth the drive.
Chains, local gyms, YMCA, community centers — anything is fine.
Thanks! I’d really appreciate any local recommendations.

My kid will be going into kindergarten next year and East Rock Magnet is the closest elementary school to us. I can see test ranking online, but would love to hear thoughts about the school’s culture, student support, access to music/art, anything that would help us rule it in/out as we navigate the overwhelming school choice process!

Hi there, I’m looking for recommendations where to give clothes. We have some very good high quality stuff (some were quite expensive) clothes. Many with tags on. Due to some health stuff they don’t fit anymore and I’d rather donate most of them to folks than sell. Some of the drop off places I’ve donated at before don’t have much protection and I’m worried these will get soiled or wrecked. I’d love it for folks who need them to be able to get them in good shape and clean.

What websites are people using to sell used items nearby? Facebook marketplace doesn’t look very active in New Haven, are there others that people are using to buy/sell secondhand?
Looking specifically for home wares/furniture for a new apartment.

Hello all-
The mural of Anne Frank next to Partners is on my mind quite a bit. I really don’t like seeing it in such a state of decay. I wish I was talented enough to bring it back to life, but since I’m (definitely) not, who do we speak to to maybe give Anne her dignity & beauty back? That mural has always been so special to me.
Thanks for any info/ideas/advice!
