Rising to the Challenge

The foreclosure crisis that is impacting thousands of Americans is not just a financial crisis it is a legal crisis. At a time when more and more people need legal assistance, legal aid programs around the country are grappling with huge budget cuts and reduced resources and cannot keep up with the rising demand.




At Equal Justice Works, we have spent the last year responding to these challenges. Thanks to the hard work of our Fellows, sponsors and allies, thousands of at-risk clients and hundreds of communities have been helped and now see hope where there was none. Weve produced a short video to demonstrate the incredible impact our Fellows, sponsors and supporters have had over the past year.
