GHLA

GHLA attorneys work to improve the circumstances for people living in poverty and strengthen our community. We increase safety from violence, preserve housing, stabilize income, improve health, and expand educational opportunities. We understand that more people of color and women live in poverty because of structural racism and sexism, and that bias can reduce options and opportunities. To address the harm, we focus on priorities and strategies that advance equity and reduce poverty. Sometimes law is the only thing that makes a difference... Community legal needs exceed our capacity to help. GHLA integrates community perspectives with legal analysis to identify priorities... We work with attorneys, social services, community groups, and others to provide more priority legal services. We use technology and innovation to increase the number of clients we serve.
