Our Vision
We believe that there should be fairness, justice and equality for all, and, that if we can instill more fairness in our society, there will be less poverty.
Our Mission
Our mission is to ensure that state and federal laws affecting poor people are upheld, while also addressing the systemic barriers to justice faced by Mainers with low incomes.
Our Approach
To achieve our mission, we provide free civil legal assistance in cases where it can make a difference in one’s ability to meet one’s basic human needs or in enforcing one’s basic human rights, including access to housing, food, income, safety, education, and healthcare.
Our Priorities
We continually assess the most pressing civil legal problems facing low-income Mainers. Our board of directors regularly reviews our program priorities. Our current priorities are:
The preservation of housing and related housing needs;
Maintaining, enhancing and protecting income and economic stability;
Promoting safety, health, and well-being;
Improving outcomes for Maine children and youth;
Enforcing workplace opportunities, income and legal protections for low-wage workers;
Meeting the legal needs of populations with other vulnerabilities; and
Improving the delivery of legal services and justice for low - income Mainers statewide.
