Neighborhood Legal Services

NLSM is Metro Detroit's only organization of its kind offering non-criminal legal advocacy, law-related education and supportive services for individuals and families. Abused or homeless people, children, people with life-challenging illness, and seniors who qualify receive services free of charge. To break the cycle of homelessness, NLSM pays budget counselors and partnering agencies to provide counsel and case management services, childcare, and essential items for eligible families. NLSM also contracts with local agencies to assist victims of crime with emergency home security repairs. Founded in 1966, NLSM became of the nation's first civil legal services-based Victims of Crime Act in 1999.
