Since the Law Center's founding in 1989, Sullivan & Cromwell[[link removed]] has been a steadfast pro bono partner - in fact, it was Sullivan & Cromwell's committment to pro bono work that allowed our founder to start her fight toward ending homelessness and led to the founding of the Law Center. Over the past year, Sullivan & Cromwell has made a powerful impact with their pro bono support, and we are proud to honor them with this year's Pro Bono Counsel Award.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Law Center has partnered with Sullivan & Cromwell to identify the responses enacted by communities across the country to address the needs of people experiencing homelessness. S&C attorneys monitored and synthesized news alerts into an accessible spreadsheet[[link removed]] that we used to assess how communities were serving the needs of unhoused people in real time.
This data has been made publicly available on the Law Center's Coronavirus hub[[link removed]] and has contributed to resources based around the Law Center's COVID-19 pandemic recommendations. The resources created by Sullivan & Cromwell not only helped the Law Center's advocacy, they helped local advocates and organizers proactively protect their communities.
Thank you, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, and all of your pro bono attorneys!
