Western Center fights for justice and system-wide change to secure housing, healthcare and a strong safety net for low-income Californians. Western Center on Law & Poverty, California's oldest and largest legal service support center, was created in 1967. With a focus on healthcare, affordable housing, public benefits and access to justice issues, our attorneys, advocates, legal services co- counsel and pro bono partners attain real world, system- wide solutions on behalf of 8 million low-income Californians through class action and other impact litigation; legislative and policy advocacy; negotiations and collaborations with state and local governments; and support for frontline legal aid programs. Our organization receives no federal funding and relies on private donations through grants, individuals and support from our major fundraising events to raise funds to benefit our mission. Each dollar donated to the Western Center results in $81 in services and benefits for low- income Californians.
