Essential

Free/ Affordable Legal Help

Avatar: Community Member Community Member

What problem would you like to solve?

The problem that we would like to solve is the lack of affordable legal support.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

This is important to solve because low income families and immigrants could benefit from legal support when it comes to visa support and other documents. 

What idea do you have to address the problem?

An idea to combat this issue is providing resources to legal offices to make it easier for them to make their support free/affordable. 

Who would that help?

This would help recent immigrants and low income families.

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

All boroughs would benefit from this idea.
