the legal aid society of cleveland 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

“The first duty of society is justice.” — Alexander Hamilton In 2016, The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland staff, board, volunteers, in partnership with our supporters, impacted nearly 18,000 people — including veterans, the elderly, foster youth, and single mothers — who share in common the burden of living with low income. Without free legal assistance, these clients faced daunting barriers to their safety, shelter, and economic stability.

We thank you for being a vital part of an engaged community, and for taking up the work of balancing the scales, establishing fairness for those who are most in need. In the words of Alexander Hamilton, “The first duty of society is justice.” And we did that duty.

We pursue justice under the leadership of our Board, one-third of whom know the devastation of poverty firsthand. For example, one Legal Aid Board Member has experienced homelessness. Several Board Members have fought to get their children the educational services to which the law entitles them, but schools turned a deaf ear. One Board Member lives in public housing, advocating for her fellow residents. Another is a U.S. Veteran who knows the scars and pride of military service. These board leaders keep us grounded in our community and focused on our clients. By working toward justice for our community’s most vulnerable, Legal Aid alleviates poverty and makes our society fairer – and stronger as a result.

We are proud of our work to bring justice and fairness to our community in 2016. You should be as well; this is work we could not do without your partnership!
