Housing Resources

Connecticut Fair Housing Center
The Connecticut Fair Housing Center is an excellent initial resource for anyone facing issues related to housing discrimination or unfair rental practices. This organization is dedicated to ensuring that all individuals have equal access to housing opportunities, regardless of race, gender, disability, or other protected characteristics. They offer valuable guidance, advocacy, and support for those navigating complex housing laws and can provide assistance with filing complaints against discriminatory practices.


Legal Aid Services (Connecticut Legal Services and Greater Hartford Legal Aid)
For individuals seeking legal assistance but facing financial constraints, Connecticut Legal Services and Greater Hartford Legal Aid are vital resources. These organizations provide free or low-cost legal representation and advice to qualifying individuals in a range of matters including housing disputes, family law, and public benefits. Eligibility is typically based on income, so it’s important to check their specific criteria and apply for services if you meet the necessary requirements. Both organizations aim to bridge the gap in access to justice for those who might otherwise be unable to afford legal counsel.

Connecticut Tenants Union
The Connecticut Tenants Union is a valuable resource for tenants seeking support and advice on housing-related issues. They offer guidance on tenant rights, rental agreements, and disputes with landlords. This organization is a great place to turn for practical advice and advocacy in tenant-landlord relationships. They may also provide referrals to other resources or legal services if your situation requires specialized assistance.

UConn Employee Assistance Program
The UConn Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is another key resource for employees seeking support. Their hotline is available for a wide range of personal and professional issues, including legal concerns. The EAP offers confidential assistance and can connect you with legal professionals or other resources that can help address your specific situation. Whether you’re dealing with workplace issues, personal legal matters, or need general support, the EAP can provide referrals and guidance tailored to your needs.
