How We Help
Overcoming the many problems associated with poverty requires being able to access economic, social and legal justice. Understanding what legal rights and social services assistance is available can mean the difference between progress and falling deeper into poverty or escalating a crisis. Our advocates work with clients to design an individualized, practical action plan to help them move forward.
Who We Help
We help the many disadvantaged people who fall between the cracks including those who are homeless, living in poverty, disabled, seniors and veterans as well as those thrust into situational poverty due to sudden job loss or personal crisis.
Our Approach
PJI’s all-volunteer client advocate teams provide individual clients with poverty relief, civil legal aid, and assistance with accessing resources to meet basic needs such as food, shelter, and medical care.
