Coordinating services that empower individuals living with disabilities in Connecticut

UCP’s Community Inclusion & Advocacy Program offers information, guidance and referral services to help individuals with disabilities in Connecticut remove barriers to independence.

If a barrier cannot be removed or if a need cannot be met by UCP, we provide information and refer individuals to our community partners who are able to meet their requests.

The Staff in UCP’s Inclusion & Advocacy Program will assist individuals with setting and reaching goals that lead to improved independence within the community of their choice.

Transportation management
Financial assistance (and management)
