Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights -- Homeless Rights Project
In conjunction
with the Coalition on Homelessness, the Lawyers' Committee runs a
program for homeless or low-income individuals who receive infraction
citations for poverty citations, e.g. sitting, sleeping, camping, or
drinking in public. The program matches volunteer attorneys with
homeless clients and gives them the legal representation necessary to
help get the citations and warrants dismissed so clients can access the
services they need to exit homelessness.
