Stop the Domino Effect Before It Begins

When someone loses access to SNAP or other essential benefits, the impact is immediate.
When that someone is disabled, it can be catastrophic.

At the Legal Clinic for the Disabled (LCD), we see it every day.
When food benefits stop, families face impossible choices—buy groceries or pay rent, keep the lights on or keep a roof overhead.
Each missed payment can trigger eviction, lost housing, and worsening health.

That’s where LCD steps in.
So far in 2025, our attorneys have helped 408 families with disabled members facing housing crises—keeping people in their homes, recovering deposits, and preventing crushing judgments.

• 48 families with children avoided eviction.
• 39 families regained vital rent subsidies or had judgments reduced.

When benefits are cut or delayed, the consequences ripple fast.
Our advocates fight to stop that spiral—restoring stability, protecting homes, and giving families the time to recover.

Your support makes this possible.
Help ensure that losing benefits doesn’t mean losing everything.
