Community Legal Aid Services Inc

Housingfew things rock the foundation of someone's life like not having a safe, secure, and stable home. Not having a home affects every aspect of their life - from their emotional and mental health, to consistency in their child's education, to whether they have the transportation needed to make it to their jobs. Many of low-income families in our communities struggle with these issues, and when legal aid helps resolve them, the result is transformative. Adults stabilize, children learn, and families grow and prosper. Beyond the individual or family, the neighborhood sees less transiency, blight is reduced, and historically disadvantaged communities can begin to rejuvenate.

Consumerdebt can overwhelm someone's life, especially when that person is impoverished. Legal aid is committed to giving clients a fresh start through bankruptcy, tax debt relief, and more. Advocates help clients through the process to relieve debt, reduce creditor harassment, save important assets like their homes, and reverse shut-offs of necessary things like utilities. This allows individuals and families to be financially well, reducing stress, and helping them get back to being contributing consumers in the community.
