We're thrilled to announce our latest initiative, Shelter for Elders, aimed at transforming the lives of indigent seniors in our community by enabling them to age gracefully and securely in their cherished Northeast Florida homes.
Building on our successful effort to establish a $2.25 million endowment for Jacksonville Area Legal Aid's Northeast Florida Medical Legal Partnership (NFMLP), Freed to Run and JALA are now working to establish a powerful new endowment that will safeguard and strengthen JALA’s housing-related legal assistance for indigent seniors.
The endowment will support JALA’s work to prevent and address housing issues such as reverse mortgage foreclosures, door-to-door scams, wrongful evictions, substandard living conditions, discriminatory practices, and other shelter-related challenges faced by vulnerable seniors.
This innovative program will provide hope for those facing housing insecurity in their golden years. By contributing to this endowment, you are not just providing financial support; you are launching a transformational journey for countless seniors, granting them access to justice and the opportunity to age with dignity.
With your generous donations, Shelter for Elders will create a permanent funding source for legal resources, expert counsel, and advocacy services to supplement grant funding designated for seniors that has historically fallen well short of the need.
Together, let's make a lasting impact on the lives of those seniors who need it most.
Register for the event or donate to Shelter for Elders today and become a champion for justice, dignity, and housing security for indigent seniors in our community.
