COVID-19 Legal Services’ Call to Action to Protect Low Income Persons
The COVID-19 crisis shines a bright light on the needs of low wage workers, the elderly, persons with disabilities, and children. New Haven Legal Assistance, partnering with the Legal Services programs in Connecticut, is fighting to ensure that Connecticut’s low-income residents do not shoulder increased risk, bear extra burdens, experience discrimination, or get left out of supportive measures.
