The Access to Law School Program at Yale Law School is an innovative law school pipeline program designed for people from the New Haven area who are first generation, low-income, formerly incarcerated, or members of an under-represented racial group who are considering attending law school. The Program invests in a class of twenty Fellows who are passionate about uplifting their local communities in New Haven and Connecticut. In weekly Academies and one-on-one mentorship sessions, Fellows work with Yale Law School students and legal professionals to develop an individualized approach to their law school application process and to prepare for careers in leadership and the law. Ultimately, the Program aims to empower each cohort of Fellows to thrive in their legal studies, make a difference in their communities of New Haven and Connecticut, and pave the way for other individuals like themselves who seek a career in the law.

In its first two years, the program has already achieved significant success; our first class of fellows was accepted to a wide range of schools, including Villanova, Quinnipiac, UConn, Columbia, Berkeley, and Yale.

"The concepts of lawyer confidentiality and attorney-client privilege both concern information that the lawyer must keep private and are protective of the client’s ability to confide freely in his or her lawyer, but the concepts are not synonymous. Terminology from both, such as “privileged information” or “waiver” are sometimes used interchangeably, further causing the differences between them to become somewhat blurred. However there are several critical differences between the two in their applicability and exceptions and the extent of information covered."

The attorney-client privilege is a rule that protects the confidentiality of communications between lawyers and clients. Under the rule, attorneys may not divulge their clients' secrets, nor may others force them to. The purpose of the privilege is to encourage clients to openly share information with their lawyers and to let lawyers effectively represent their clients.

As part of the NYC Department of Social Services, DHS and its partners continue to strengthen our work in the areas of homelessness prevention; street and subway outreach; sheltering individuals and families; and moving clients to housing permanency and supporting their transitions with aftercare services. We do this in furtherance of our system wide collective efforts to reduce homelessness and to improve the lives of all the clients who we serve.

On this link you can find information on housing for both Families and Single Adults and how to apply. 

The Department of Homeless Services (DHS) homeless shelter system provides temporary, emergency shelter. If you are a homeless family, a single pregnant woman, or a single adult, you can apply to enter the shelter system at an intake center.

You can also get assistance if you are about to become homeless. If you would like to speak to a counselor, 311 can give you the address of your local HomeBase office.

DHS does not provide transportation services to the shelter.
