Cabrini Green Legal Aid
CGLA was established in 1973 to serve legal needs arising from the lack of opportunity, criminalization of poverty, and racial inequity experienced within the Cabrini Green community. Since then, CGLA has grown beyond a single neighborhood to become a citywide, countywide, and now recognized statewide leader in supporting low-income individuals negatively impacted by the criminal justice system. Our goal is to ensure that people are able to move beyond the barriers to achieve positive outcomes and lead successful lives. Annually, CGLA serves over 7,000 clients, and each year, we continue to evolve, strengthen, and better address the needs of our community on their journey to justice.
