Civil Legal Aid in Wisconsin and its Relationship to Philanthropy
Wednesday, February 22 | 12:00pm-1:00pm (CT)
Everyone should have the opportunity live in stable housing and enjoy a safe, independent life. But our social and legal systems carry with them prejudices of our past and present. Unforeseen barriers can perpetuate injustice and are often complex. In fact, when there’s a legal aspect to such barriers, they can be impossible to resolve without an attorney. Civil legal aid organizations help turn around cycles of injustice by providing legal advice, representation, and information to people facing major challenges.
Join the Wisconsin Trust Account Foundation, another WPN member, and civil legal aid providers to learn more about civil legal aid in Wisconsin and how it relates to social justice, housing and income stability, health and independence, and other philanthropic goals. During this session, WisTAF will also preview findings from a new study on the impact of civil legal aid on Wisconsin’s economy.
