Justice lives here.
Support Our Work
The Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy operates with a fraction of the administrative and infrastructure expenses of other comparable public charities. We pride ourselves on constructing the shortest distance possible between means and needs. The Advocacy Center is positioned as the main hub for receiving proper care, resources, and legal support.
Capital Campaign
In 2022, we unveiled our new facility – a modern, efficient, and dignified legal justice center, where the community can receive a full panel of civil legal assistance. These funds allow our organization to exist in a central hub for our clients to access with ease and support our operating expenses.
Access to Justice Campaign
The Advocacy Center and Legal Aid of North Carolina-Charlotte help people who can’t afford legal services, but desperately need them. Through the Access to Justice Campaign, you will help us provide the legal resolutions that protect access to healthcare, affordable housing, food security, and economic stability.
Home Preservation and Consumer Protection Program
Our home preservation services help homeowners save their homes, where possible, and preserve already existing affordable housing when they are in danger of losing their home. The consumer protection program serves those who are the victims of scams or predatory behavior in our community. Your support will help sustain these critical programs that protect our neighbors.
Immigrant Justice Program
Among those most vulnerable to exploitation in our community are immigrant children and their families. Human trafficking, domestic abuse and discrimination are all significant issues affecting local immigrant populations, and vital services are often out of reach for those whose immigration statuses are insecure. Your support enables us to offer legal services to immigrants regardless of status, to ensure that vulnerable families are protected and receive fair treatment under the law.
Legal Services for the Elderly
Our Legal Services for the Elderly program provides free estate planning for Mecklenburg County residents aged 60+. This program also conducts community outreach and provides community legal education to senior citizens and to the staff of other agencies. Your support enables us to provide additional services to seniors in our community, including assistance with home foreclosures, exploitation, and unfair debt collection practices.
