"Families experiencing poverty are inadequately supported by our justice system, which is severely under-resourced and inherently complex. Nearly 9 out of 10 families do not get the legal help they need. These unaddressed legal issues act as barriers to housing, health, and economic stability....Legal Link works to change this by embedding legal navigation support in community-based settings. Legal Link-trained partners act as navigators who help to surface unmet legal needs, identify legal issues, and access legal protections."
