MOST RECENTLY, LACLJ HAS EXPANDED EFFORTS TO SERVE SURVIVORS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING, LED PARTNERSHIPS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR SURVIVORS IN RURAL AREAS, AND WAS SELECTED TO LEAD A COLLABORATIVE FOR MENTAL HEALTH, DISABILITIES AND LEGAL SERVICES AGENCIES TO PROMOTE CROSS-COLLABORATION AND SEAMLESS, TRAUMA-INFORMED SERVICES FOR SURVIVORS. FINALLY, LACLJ HAS EXPANDED ITS LEGAL ADVOCACY AND REPRESENTATION IN HOUSING-RELATED MATTERS TO PREVENT SURVIVOR HOMELESSNESS AND FURTHER TRAUMATIZATION FOR THEM AND THEIR CHILDREN.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2021 – Jun 30, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided––
