Inner City Law Center

For one group of people, getting off the streets is all but impossible – people without a birth certificate. These individuals cannot get a driver’s license, a job, a social security number, apply for food stamps or other benefits, vote, or rent a home. Inner City Law Center’s Vital Documents Clinic will provide homeless and precariously housed Angelenos with free legal assistance in obtaining vital documents so that they may access the resources they need to achieve housing stability.

The Tenant Power Toolkit prevents homelessness by helping low-income tenants to stay housed. The online Toolkit informs tenants of their rights, and connects them with an eviction-defense attorney - free of charge - so that they can fight eviction.
