The Civil Legal Aid for Victims of Crime (CLAVC) Initiative is a statewide legal aid project created in 2017 to increase access to civil legal services for vulnerable crime victims.
MLRI provides programmatic coordination of the Initiative and serves as the co-manager of this initiative, along with the Massachusetts Legal Assistance Corporation.
Over 24 legal advocates in programs across the state are providing legal services through CLAVC. These services cover a range of legal needs including family law, domestic violence and abuse, immigration, health care, housing and education.
