Utility services was protected for the families of almost one hundred seventy-five children in the Center for Children's Advocacy's spring "Keep the Power On" utility clinics. Families from the Hartford, New Britain and New Haven regions were provided with assistance with the goal of protecting their households from the loss of electric and/or gas service. Clinic participants were seen at The Hospital of Central Connecticut (New Britain), Connecticut Children's Medical Center and Yale-New Haven Hospital. Pro Bono assistance was provided by the legal departments of the Aetna, Pullman & Comley, LLC, Murtha Cullina, LLC, the University of Connecticut School of Law and the Yale School of Law. Community partners included Operation Fuel, 211 Infoline, Foodshare, Community Relations Team of Hartford, Human Resources Assoication of New Britain, Community Action of New Haven and the Special Kids Support Center of Connecticut Children's Medical Center. Participating utility companies included Eversource, Connecticut Natural Gas, United Illuminating and Southern Connecticut Gas. We extend our gratitude to all of our community partners for their support in making the clinics possible and for their ongoing commitment to the work of the Center. Our next series of utility clinics will be held in the fall of 2015.
