Removing legal barriers for Connecticut's Veterans. Proud to help all who served. The Veterans Inclusion Project believes all who serve in the U.S.

We are an independent non-profit organization, made possible thanks to public and private support. Connecticut Veterans Legal Center (CVLC) is an independent 501(c)3 organization that provides legal representation at no-cost to veterans throughout the state. As a recovery-focused organization, CVLC primarily, but not exclusively, serves clients through a Medical-Legal Partnership model in which we partner with Veterans Administration Hospitals (“the VA”) and other and other connected providers to provide holistic support for veterans alongside their clinicians to secure housing and access to healthcare and income benefits. In addition to directly serving more than 1,000 veterans each year, CVLC is committed to understanding and addressing systemic injustice. Through the Veterans Inclusion Project, we are proud to be a national leader in policy research: working to understand and dismantle inequity within the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs. Military are veterans who deserve to be treated with dignity.

"One of my first cases was for Veteran Mr. F. who was facing eviction after spending years in the same rental home. My work amounted to a few weeks of otherwise unremarkable negotiations with a landlord’s attorney.

However, our amicable resolution ultimately allowed the Veteran and his wife to vacate the property efficiently and simultaneously complete the very stressful process of purchasing their first home. [...] I still hear from this special Veteran on my birthday.

While I can’t guarantee all Pro Bono Partners will have similar results, I do assure them that the annual birthday calls are worth more than any fee I’ve ever received."

📰Read Attorney Don Tutson, who serves as our pro bono coordinator, as he discusses the important of pro bono legal services for Veterans in the September/October issue of CT Lawyers.

Thank you Connecticut Bar Association for highlighting CVLC and the good work of so many pro bono attorneys, firms, and legal aid organizations statewide in this wonderful issue.

We are incredibly honored and humbled to be a part of the Social Equity Council’s Reimagine and Revitalize (R2) Community Reinvestment Program, which will enable us to bolster our services to Veterans whose past involvement in the criminal justice system is standing in the way of their access to housing, benefits, and dignity.

Being in the room with so many extraordinary individuals and organizations who are dedicated to bridging the gaps in our current system TOGETHER was invigorating—what an amazing community to be a part of.
