BRIC is a membership organization whose mission is to develop affordable housing in Branford, a shoreline suburb just a few miles east of New Haven. BRIC’s members are all churches in Branford. The Clinic represented BRIC when it was formed in the late 1980’s and in connection with the development of BRIC’s single affordable housing development, the Ivy Street Apartments. In 2015, BRIC’s non-profit property manager secured funding from the State of Connecticut to rehabilitate the Ivy Street Apartments, which led to renewed member participation with the hope of constructing new affordable housing in Branford. The clinic continues to represent BRIC in connection with the rehabilitation of the Ivy Street development, as well as in seeking new opportunities for developing affordable housing in the area.
