Test Asylum Law6

The Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless envisions a just and inclusive community for all residents of the District of Columbia, where housing is a human right and where every individual and family has equal access to the resources they need to thrive. Its mission is to use the law to make justice a reality for our neighbors who struggle with homelessness and poverty.

Although our staff is small, our network of over 200 volunteers from the D.C. legal community enables us to handle well over 1,000 individual and family client matters each year. Volunteer attorneys and attorney-paralegal teams are being sought to assist homeless clients with various legal matters. Responsibilities include interviewing clients at intake sessions and providing advice, assistance and follow up representation when necessary. Some clients need a simple referral, or a phone call made in their behalf. Other cases are more involved. More information about the volunteer legal program.
