This summer we are reflecting on all of the good work in the last year in service to our Silicon Valley community. Our 2022 annual report shares all of you helped make possible.

Your support provides meaningful access to justice for those who need legal advocacy and representation but cannot afford it. These successes are our shared successes.

Children & Youth

Your support advances the legal rights of children and youth, empowering them to lead healthy and productive lives.

Safety and Racial Equity in Our Schools

Police presence in schools disproportionately impacts students of color and students with disabilities.

The Law Foundation joined advocates from the San José Unified Equity Coalition to end police presence across the San José Unified School District and create a safer school environment for every student.

Housing

Every day those struggling due to the regional housing affordability crisis receive free help and advocacy.

Amid the Silicon Valley Housing Crisis, Stable RV Living in Mountain View Remains

Throughout Silicon Valley, many local governments penalize unhoused people or families and individuals with non-traditional homes, such as those living in RVs. We successfully fought against one of these measures in the city of Mountain View. 

Health

Those living with health and mental health issues can receive free legal advice and representation.

Advocating for the Health and Well-Being of Unhoused People

Our team continues to advocate for people living without shelter throughout Silicon Valley. Staff regularly visit encampments in San Jose and advise residents about their legal rights and options.

Pro Bono

The Law Foundation’s Pro Bono Program leverages the talent of attorneys and staff from law firms and corporate legal departments to help more clients than we would with just our in-house attorneys.

Small Claims Court Back Rent & Eviction Moratorium Projects

We have also had a renewed focus on housing and rolled out various programs to anticipate tenants’ needs.
