PSLS envisions a community where all low-income, elderly and vulnerable people have ready access to legal services to meet their basic needs. Each year, we publish an impact report that highlights our important work, our successes and shines a spotlight on our amazing community of supporters and staff. Our Fair Housing Project investigates and challenges cases of discrimination by housing providers.
PSLS celebrates more than 45 years of service to those in need. We dedicate our work to individuals and families who have depleted resources for basic human needs, ultimately securing safe housing, food, income, and personal safety.
