Based in Hartford, Connecticut, the Connecticut Fair Housing Center is a statewide nonprofit civil rights organization focused on ensuring equal access to housing opportunities by addressing discrimination. It provides free investigative and legal services for renters and homeowners, supports tenant organizing and policy advocacy, and conducts education and outreach for individuals at risk of housing discrimination. Through advocacy, representation, and power-building, the Center aims to reduce barriers to opportunity and promote safe, affordable housing that supports health, education, and wealth-building for families.

Over three decades, the Center has positioned itself within the legal services sector as a defender of housing rights and an advocate for systemic change. Its work combines direct services with policy work to counter discriminatory practices and exploitation in housing markets across the state. A recent development includes a 2022 partnership with the University of Connecticut Law School's clinic to provide direct services to clients, illustrating collaboration with academic partners to expand access to legal assistance.
