Improving Hartford Housing Conditions
We take timely and aggressive action to ensure that Hartford’s landlords fulfill their fundamental obligation to ensure the housing units they offer for rent are safe, clean, sanitary and adequate, and to ensure that no Hartford resident is compelled to live in housing that is unsafe or unsanitary. We provide legal representation in individual cases, while also analyzing and developing possible systemic reform efforts.
Enhancing Safety through Domestic Violence Restraining Order Representation
We represent low-income applicants in the Hartford Family Court as part of a multi-court Restraining Order Representation Project. Victims of violence face a complex mix of legal, family and safety issues. GHLA attorneys provide the legal analysis and advice victims need when deciding to apply for a restraining order. For some applicants, a restraining order is just one part of a comprehensive safety plan that also requires community-based resources. Our partnership with Interval House advocates helps victims access the legal protections and safety strategies that victims need.
