Crawford (in collaboration with CHBA and SABAC) will sponsor the month of September 2010 & February 2011 for the Hartford H.E.L.P. (Homeless Experience Legal Project) program.  In November 2009 & March 2010, Crawford members volunteered to staff the HELP clinic, and it was a success!  H.E.L.P. enlists local attorneys, law students, and law firm secretaries and paralegals in cities across the country to provide pro bono legal assistance to homeless individuals.  H.E.L.P. was recently established in the City of Hartford.  The volunteers meet with clients in local homeless shelters, providing assistance in various legal matters. Please see this link for more information: http://homelesslegalprotection.com/Hartford.html.  And also read about the program on the CT Law Tribune – http://www.ctlawtribune.com/getarticle.aspx?ID=36157.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Alexis Highsmith (ahighsmith@ghla.org; 860-541-5037).  Since the month of September is fast approaching, please contact Alexis by mid August so we can secure volunteers.
