Become a Host Organization
Disaster Resilience Program
Equal Justice Works invites eligible organizations to submit proposals for the Equal Justice Works Disaster Resilience Program.
Disasters devastate lower-income communities, creating new poverty and further entrenching inequality. In the wake of any disaster, families often need the assistance of a lawyer to overcome barriers to recovery.
The Disaster Resilience Program mobilizes Fellows (legal aid attorneys) and Student Fellows (law students) to provide free civil legal aid in disaster-prone areas to ensure vital legal services are accessible, comprehensive, and responsive to the unique needs of individuals, families, and communities.
Stay tuned for more information on how to become a host organization in 2026!
