The Legal Project

January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. Most people do not understand what human trafficking is and the key dynamic of coercion in perpetuating this crime. Understanding is the key to recognition and prevention: You can find more information at https://polarisproject.org/myths-facts-and-statistics . If you know someone you think may be a human trafficking victim and is in need of civil legal services, please tell them to call The Legal Project and ask for our human trafficking program staff!

The Community Loan Fund is being recognized for its longstanding relationship with The Legal Project and commitment to our success, which has allowed us to grow and serve thousands of vulnerable individuals in the Capital Region every year including people impacted by domestic violence; those facing the threat of foreclosure on their family homes; and immigrants to our country longing for a legal path to cherished citizenship. We also value the Community Loan Fund’s partnership in our Small Business Legal Network
