The majority of those in need of legal assistance go unserved due to lack of resources. To bridge this gap is a massive endeavor.

• Broward County has an estimated 1.9 million residents
• Nearly 300,000 live in poverty and cannot afford legal help
• There is 1 full-time legal aid attorney for every 5,600 people in need
• Our work would not be possible without the generous support of our donors
• Florida leads the nation in ID theft and fraud among the poor and elderly
• Florida is home to the third largest population of Veterans
• Approximately 15% of Broward residents lack health insurance; 44% of our clients are uninsured

With your help, we defend the rights of families, seniors, Veterans, and vulnerable populations such as survivors of domestic violence and persons living with HIV/AIDS.

• Strengthen our community by stabilizing families in need
• Open pathways to justice and encourage social and economic growth
• We provide administrative support so you can focus on the legal work
