Keep your home address private

Connecticut's Address Confidentiality Program, also called Safe at Home, is run by the Secretary of the State. Each participant gets a substitute mailing address. The program forwards first-class mail to the participant's real home address.1

  • State and town agencies must accept the substitute address.1
  • It is for Connecticut residents who are victims of certain crimes, such as family violence, sexual assault, stalking, kidnapping, or human trafficking. Some child abuse or neglect cases also qualify. Adults and children can take part.1
  • You apply with help from an application assistant at a domestic violence or sexual assault crisis program. Only these assistants can send in applications.1

Go to the Address Confidentiality Program (portal.ct.gov)

Help for victims of crime

The Judicial Branch's Office of Victim Services runs a Victim Compensation Program. It gives financial help to crime victims for certain crime-related costs that insurance or other sources don't pay. The program decides who qualifies.2

Find a lawyer

This site does not give legal advice. For advice about your situation, talk to a licensed Connecticut lawyer.

  • The Connecticut Bar Association lists lawyer referral services run by county bar associations in Hartford, New Haven, and New London counties. These are paid services.3
  • If you have a low income, you may be able to get free legal help. CTLawHelp is a free legal information website made by Connecticut's nonprofit legal aid organizations.4 The Connecticut Bar Association also points to CT Free Legal Answers, where volunteer lawyers answer questions online. Income limits apply.3
