We also use impact litigation to help change systemic practices that are harmful to low-income people living without homes or at risk of homelessness.Homeful.LA: Homeful.LA is an ICLC initiative that provides non-lawyers with opportunities to volunteer, donate, and advocate to help prevent and end homelessness.
