Know Your Rights Clinics

Know Your Rights Clinics are provided in partnership with local community organizations and centers to host legal outreach events to empower community members to understand and utilize legal rights for common issues within LCD’s target population, such as how to address substandard housing conditions or defend against unlawful rental practices. Outreach partners have included neighborhood Community Development Corporations, social services providers, and other community-based organizations.

Supportive Decision-Making for Young Adults

Supportive Decision-Making for Young Adults is essential for families of children with disabilities who are transitioning to adulthood. LCD works with healthcare teams at both St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia to assist families of young adults who require this support due to the nature and severity of their disability. By working with families in the pediatric setting before the young adult transitions to an adult provider, LCD ensures young adults and their families are able to secure Power of Attorney, declare a healthcare representative, or establish guardianship before the family experiences any interruption in the young adult’s care. LCD is fortunate to have an enthusiastic group of volunteer attorneys who assist families in obtaining the necessary documentation.
