Maryland Legal Aid is a legal aid society based in Baltimore, MD that was founded in 1929. As of 2019 they had $29 million in revenue and $24 million in assets.
We propose that the four partners create a Justice Resource Center, or a local network of resource centers, to coordinate and focus their justice reform efforts. (For simplicity, we refer to this center or these centers as the "Resource Center".).
Maryland Legal Aid makes grants to other organizations, such as $74,310 to TurnAround for "To Enhance Access To Legal Services By Victims of Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence."; and $10,620 to The Women's Law Center of MD for "Legal Assistance for Victims of Domestic Violence".
