Civil legal problems are often the hidden barriers to stability and safety. Domestic violence, eviction, and medical debt can be life-threatening issues that impact individual wellbeing and community stability.
By localizing legal help to trusted community spaces, our network is bringing justice home, one client, one community, and one partnership at a time.
This page offers more than stories: it’s a look at a proven, community-driven model for making legal problem-solving tools accessible, sustainable, and deeply human. Together, we’re building a stronger, more connected network for justice.
At the center of this work are community-based Advocates: individuals trained to assist with issues like domestic violence, housing stability, and medical debt. Within their communities, they integrate needed legal support alongside existing social, health, and human services to provide more comprehensive care to clients.
Discover what justice work means to them and how being part of CJAU’s network has shaped their impact.
