Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto
Organization Description
In 2002, seeking to combat historic forces of inequity and discrimination, our community banded with legal advocates to form Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto. Our mission is to provide transformative legal services that enable diverse communities in East Palo Alto and beyond to achieve a secure and thriving future. To that end, we specialize in three legal areas – immigration, housing, and economic advancement – and partner with grassroots community groups, schools, churches, and other local organizations.
