We’ve hired four new staff attorneys – two on the Safe and Stable Families team, and two on the Safe and Stable Homes team. Meet the newest members of our community!

Before they were lawyers, these attorneys all worked in the same (seemingly unrelated) field.

When the Housing Authority wrongfully accused our client of fraud, Staff Attorney Lauren Washington stepped up to defend her.

It has been the greatest honor of my life to advocate for the people of Vine City, English Avenue, Ashview Heights, and AUC. I often tell people that it was in these neighborhoods that I found the soul of Atlanta.

Through new pilot funding from Partners for HOME and the CFGA, our new client assistance program is bringing stability to Atlantans who need emergency help.

I had the honor of volunteering at a Standing with Our Neighbors community outreach event recently. And when I was a child, I could have been a client.

On March 21st, AVLF attended the inaugural Beloved Benefit, where we were recognized for our work in Atlanta’s Westside community.

In his State of the Judiciary address, Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Harold Melton shared how Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation’s Standing with Our Neighbors program is making an impact on Atlanta communities.

AVLF provides free children’s books to low income families who come to our Saturday Lawyer clinic, and we have a new wish list.

Just in time for the holidays, AVLF’s Standing with Our Neighbors Program hosted its first-ever toy and clothing drive.

AVLF’s work on behalf of Atlanta’s most vulnerable tenants is guided by our vision of housing justice. But what does that actually mean?

This month, several of our staff members spoke on panels across the country, sharing the impact of their work at the intersection of housing, health, and domestic violence.
