Although the pandemic along with the economic crisis it triggered are both far from over, many safety nets have disappeared. With the expiration of Massachusetts’s moratorium on evictions and foreclosures along with other supports offered by the CARES Act, it seems inevitable that Hampshire County will see a see a staggering increase in the number of families at risk of losing their homes and in need of legal assistance.

As we prepare for this new wave of hardships, we need your support of Community Legal Aid and the Worcester County Access to Justice Campaign. 

Please consider becoming an Access to Justice Leader with a gift of $1,000, which could prevent a family from becoming homeless. A gift of $750 could help a client appeal an unemployment denial. Making a gift of $500 could help a child receive the special education services needed to succeed in school. And a gift of $250 could help a domestic violence survivor obtain an abuse prevention order.
