For over 50 years​, we have been providing free legal services to low income people living in Toronto's downtown east neighbourhoods. We offer eviction defence for tenants; advocacy for social assistance decisions, immigration help for those without status or who are separated from their children, and employment law advice. See our legal services page for details.
​We also love providing
legal education workshops to community members. See here for our latest annual report.

4. If you are registered with the St. Michael's Hospital's Academic Family Health Team, ask your healthcare provider for a referral to our Health Justice Program. This will connect you to our HJP intake worker for legal system navigation.
