We’re excited to share our latest annual report – a celebration of how you've helped us make a difference. Your unwavering support of the Law Foundation has been the driving force behind providing crucial legal advocacy and representation to those in need, ensuring that justice is accessible to all. 

The success stories you’ll read are a testament to our shared dedication to making our community a stronger and more equitable place for everyone in Silicon Valley.

Children & Youth

Your support helps us provide free legal assistance and advocacy to support children and youth - those navigating the foster care system, those needing probate guardianships, those facing education challenges like expulsion, and so much more.

Comprehensive Support for Immigrant Youth

When Rachel was just five, she needed someone to stand up for her. There were worries about possible abuse and she needed someone to move quickly to ensure she was safe and protected. Her legal case was complicated because she was not born in the United States. Did she, legally, have to go back to her home country?

Housing

The Law Foundation provides free legal services to low-income families and individuals at risk of eviction and homelessness with the goal of helping them maintain safe and healthy housing within our community. 

The Power of Partnerships: Disabled Seniors Avoid Homelessness

Alex, a senior living with a disability, was facing imminent eviction from his home. A notice from the sheriff had been posted on Alex’s door: next week he and his wife would be forced to leave. He had missed a deadline in his eviction process and was struggling to follow up with the court. Alex lives with severe disabilities while also caring for his disabled wife.

Health

Our Health program ensures those living with health and mental health issues can receive free legal advice and representation.

Disability Benefits Support Economic Stability

Appealing an unfair denial of health benefits can be frustrating and complicated. We stepped in when 57-year-old Christopher contacted the Law Foundation after being denied Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).

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.

Supporting Economic Stability for Tenants

When Sarah and Michael moved into their Sunnyvale condo, they paid their landlord a $3,200 security deposit. To their surprise, the landlord made unfair deductions from their security deposit and returned less than $1,000. Sarah and Michael quickly reached out to the Law Foundation for help. They received an experienced pro bono attorney with expertise in renters' rights to represent their case.
