Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Homeless & Housing, Housing Support
Mission: DCVLP provides free legal services to low-income residents of the District of Columbia who are victims of domestic violence or have other urgent family law needs.
Direct beneficiaries per year: 300-400
Geographic areas served: Washington, DC
Programs: DCVLP's innovative model makes it possible for nontraditional volunteers -- including lawyers on career break to spend more time with family, government attorneys, and recent law school graduates -- to provide pro bono legal service to their community. By providing high quality training, supervision, mentoring and practice resources to these volunteers, DCVLP has dramatically expanded the availability of legal service to victims of domestic violence, foster and adoptive parents, and at-risk children in Washington, DC. and has done so extremely cost effectively.
