Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Community law center empowers communities and nonprofits that lack the financial resources to pay for private legal representation. Community law center makes an important and unique contribution to the region as it utilizes its expertise and effectiveness in using the law to overcome or mitigate many of the social, economic, and environmental problems that plague neighborhoods. Through our programs, we have assisted in the formation and growth of hundreds of community associations and nonprofits, facilitated the revitalization of blighted land and vacant structures, reduced crime and nuisance activities stemming from residential and commercial properties, and helped communities and nonprofits accomplish their goals and achieve their missions.

To provide legal services to community and nonprofit organizations throughout maryland to promote stronger nonprofits and more vibrant neighborhoods.
