Millions of Americans face serious legal problems—family issues, housing insecurity, financial predators—without access to affordable help. For the poor, these challenges can spiral into homelessness, unemployment, or even jail time.
Christian Legal Aid offers more than legal help in life’s most difficult times; we offer attorneys and volunteers who lavish the downtrodden with hope and compassion that only comes through the love of Christ. Many Christian Legal Aid programs collaborate with churches and ministries to provide clients with access to a broad network of community resources.
What We Do
- Start CLAs: CLS equips attorneys and volunteers with the information and practical support they need to launch Christian Legal Aid (CLA) programs of all sizes in their communities.
- Support Existing CLAs: We offer practical tools, mentorship, and financial grants to help sustain and grow existing CLAs.
- Individual Support: We offer spiritual support and prayer for all our CLA staff members and volunteers.
