关于我们
The Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless envisions a just and inclusive community for all residents of the District of Columbia, where housing is a human right and where every individual and family has equal access to the resources they need to thrive. Our mission is to use the law to make justice a reality for our neighbors who struggle with homelessness and poverty. Combining community lawyering and advocacy to achieve our clients’ goals, our expert staff and network of volunteer attorneys provide low barrier, comprehensive legal services at intake sites throughout the District of Columbia, helping our clients to access housing, shelter, and life-saving services. Rooted in the experiences of this client work, we effectively blend system reform efforts, policy advocacy, community education and client engagement to advocate for long term improvements in local and federal programs that serve the low- and no-income community.

It isn’t too late for a team to join the fun – this campaign runs through April 7! Who will be named the 2025 March Mania champions? See your firm or law school?

Attention lawyers: we need you! The Department of Human Services has moved to exit almost 3000 families in less than a year from rapid re-housing for reaching a time limit. We need volunteers to help families appeal these terminations so they can stay in their homes. We have 9 cases ready to be placed today. Our lawyers will train and support you at every step along the way. Please reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator, Kelsey Vaughan, at [email protected] to take one of these 9 cases, or to sign up for an upcoming intake appointment.

We filed a class action on behalf of over 800 D.C. families who DC Department of Human Services tried to terminate from rapid re-housing without considering an extension, or their individual needs. The case is critical to #KeepFamiliesHoused, because D.C. refuses to. Children's Law Center, Combs & Taylor, Crowell & Moring, and Steptoe LLP join the Legal Clinic in litigating this unprecedented class action in the Office of Administrative Hearings. You can read more in our press release: https://lnkd.in/e22fE8qN https://lnkd.in/eRYCrcKA
