About

The Law Foundation uses the law as a tool for change. The Law Foundation addresses problems linked to social injustices like poverty, discrimination, child abuse, and neglect. Every day, our attorneys, social workers, and advocates craft innovative solutions to the life-changing legal issues facing low-income people and communities of color in Silicon Valley. We focus on three areas: children & youth, housing, and health (including mental health) throughout Silicon Valley, predominantly in Santa Clara County. Most of our clients are low-income and our legal services are free of charge.
