The Covid-19 pandemic has caused significant instability to our most vulnerable community members. In addition to unemployment, loss of income, inadequate childcare, and housing and food insecurities, many people are also navigating the breakdown of their marriages and families. Incidents of domestic violence are on the rise, and there is a critical need for legal advocacy for these individuals.
