NLSLM and the Community

NLSLM has a mandate that extends well beyond the provision of direct client services in the clinic law areas of housing and shelter, income maintenance and social assistance. We also provide broader services targeted at the community as a whole. These types of services include community development, law reform and public legal education. These are referred to as outreach activities.

Our outreach activities include building relationships with other community agencies, lobbying politicians to improve the laws and policies affecting our clients, and providing legal training to agencies and groups of individuals. The purpose of this work is to improve life for Londoners and residents of Middlesex County. Our goal is to combat poverty through community work aimed at improving housing conditions and increasing income for all.

We encourage you to contact us to talk about how we can collaborate to tackle issues important to London and Middlesex.

Community Agency Training

NLSLM puts on annual training to community agencies in London and Middlesex once a year. Our Community Agency Training sessions provide legal education and legislative updates in the areas we practice.
