Seattle University’s Homeless Rights Advocacy Project does not represent individuals. It does advocate for legal and policy changes that keep homeless individuals out of the criminal justice system, and provides them with the housing and services they need.

The resources below will help people who are experiencing homelessness or facing the threat of homelessness find legal help.

We've also compiled other resources on criminalization:

Are you Homeless or Facing the Threat
of Homelessness and Need Legal Help?

Depending upon the type of legal problem or problems you have, and where you are, there may be attorneys who can help. Criminal and civil legal service providers are listed separately.
