Promoting equal justice for all.
Across Delaware, more than 100,000 people are living in poverty and need help with legal issues they can’t resolve on their own.

A child with a disability may lose access to health care or food benefits. Assessments conducted in Delaware community health centers show an overwhelming need for civil legal services in the areas of housing, employment, food security, public benefits, children’s safety, education, disability services, and health insurance.
