In partnership with Destination: Home SV and the Katharine & George Alexander Community Law Center, the Unhoused Initiative is excited to announce a new legal services practice at SCU Law – The Unhoused Advocacy Clinic.
Serving clients with legal matters stemming from their experience of homelessness, the Unhoused Advocacy Clinic is responding to the criminalization of homelessness in Silicon Valley through direct client services. Law students staff a biweekly advice and counsel clinic and a Supervising Attorney provides direct representation.
Legal matters addressed by the clinic include: property claims after encampment sweeps, citations or infractions, court fines and fees, record clearance and vehicle tow matters. If you or someone you know may benefit from services, please see the flyer below for more information.
