Investing in Justice
A building block for improving economic and community changes for Texans and their communities
Improving Justice For
Vulnerable Populations in Texas
Legal aid transforms the lives of Texans every day. Beyond the individual
impact, legal aid is a critical building block for improving the communities
we live in. Legal aid helps Texans living in poverty build a foundation of
stability so they can create a better future for themselves, their families,
and our communities.
Civil legal aid impacts Texas by:
Stabilizing families affected by poverty and violenceRebuilding communities after natural disasters, like hurricanes and floodsAchieving economic benefits for individuals, veterans, and working families
that deserve them
Empowering low-income workers to achieve fair treatment in the workplaceEnsuring families are able to remain in their home and in safe living
conditionsExamining discriminatory practices for the marginalizedEducating underserved populations on legal rights and responsibilitiesIdentifying and developing legal solutions for communities
Guiding struggling youth on paths to become productive adults
Opportunity for private philanthropy
Private philanthropy benefits tremendously from the actions of civil legal aid organizations,
which share their work in alleviating poverty, securing income and family
stability, ensuring health care, ending violence, and building stronger
communities.
