关于我们
SeniorLAW Center's mission is to improve the lives of older Pennsylvanians and protect their rights through legal representation, education and advocacy. We help save homes, strengthen families, fight domestic violence and abuse, and promote economic security. Our core values are excellence, compassion, respect, integrity, creativity, passion and optimism. Through the energies of our legal staff and corps of volunteer attorneys, SeniorLAW Center provides essential legal, outreach, advocacy and educational services, having a dramatic impact on the lives of elders and their families in the Philadelphia area and throughout the state. Our work enables elders in our communities, our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, our elderly neighbors, colleagues, and friends, to remain in their homes and communities, live free from abuse, maintain their independence, and improve the safety and economic security in their lives. All of SeniorLAW Center’s services for low-income seniors are free. SeniorLAW Center serves over 7,000 seniors each year throughout Philadelphia and, through its statewide SeniorLAW HelpLine, the entire Commonwealth. SeniorLAW Center has established a multitude of innovative programs to address the critical legal needs of low-income and vulnerable seniors, including victims of domestic violence, older tenants and homeowners, victims of financial exploitation and consumer fraud, grandparents raising grandchildren, the homebound and disabled, Asian, Latino and other immigrant elders who have little access to our system of justice. The legal issues facing our clients are increasingly complex and critical: mortgage foreclosure, eviction, and consumer and contractor fraud, shocking forms of financial exploitation, lengthy family law litigation, untangling title issues over generations, domestic violence and sexual assault against older women, health and financial decision-making, identity theft and other economic crimes.

A recent SeniorLAW Center client, Sharon, was in danger of being locked out of her home of 10 years. After suffering a stroke, she had been hospitalized for over a month and had missed a rent payment. While she was recovering, her landlord sued her for eviction, and she missed her court hearing while she was in the hospital. Sharon was running out of options -- until she called SeniorLAW Center. Read the rest of Sharon's story, learn how supporters like you help thousands of older people each year, and make a donation today by visiting https://lnkd.in/gHRe6JP9.

Thank you to The Sarah Ralston Foundation and Foundation for Health Equity for inviting Executive Director Karen Buck and Center In The Park Inc's David Griffith to present at last week's "Advocacy in Action: Empowering Nonprofits to Champion Older Adults" event. It was an honor to share our knowledge on the legal boundaries for 501(c)(3) nonprofits in advocacy, and discuss examples of our own advocacy efforts on behalf of SeniorLAW Center clients. We were inspired by the incredible work and the commitment everyone shared to champion the needs of older adults.
