About us
Maryland Legal Aid (MLA) is a statewide private, nonprofit law firm that provides free, civil legal services to low-income and vulnerable people to address their most fundamental legal problems. From its 12 offices around the state and through its many community-based clinics, we help our clients preserve and access safe and affordable housing, maintain custody of their children, and be safe from domestic violence. MLA increases our clients’ economic security by defending against consumer debt, including foreclosures and tax sales, removing barriers to employment, and accessing critical income supports such as unemployment, food stamps and other vital public benefits. Through special projects, we represent seniors, nursing home residents, children in alleged abuse and neglect cases, migrant farmworkers, and those in mental health institutions. In its advocacy, MLA seeks systemic change through impact litigation, policy advocacy, and storytelling.

Earlier this year, Ms. M and her son came to Maryland Legal Aid for help with their housing. They had no history of eviction, and both were employed, but they had been forced into a weekly rate motel, living in despicable conditions while landlords repeatedly denied their long-term lease applications. All because Ms. M’s son had just returned from a 60-day jail stay for a non-violent offense. Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/d8D3mnu7

"Maryland is already suffering from a tragic housing crisis, impacting so many families—primarily women with children—who are left with too few options. Landlords, like Sessoms, who take full advantage of women in desperate situations and broker in insidious, gender-based discrimination, cannot be tolerated," said Vicki Schultz, Executive Director of Maryland Legal Aid, the state's largest provider of free civil legal services. "We are proud to have partnered with the AG's civil rights team on this case from day one, and we will continue collaborating on behalf of Maryland's most vulnerable people and communities." https://lnkd.in/eg_PyKxV
