Focus Areas

Children, Youth & Families

Strong, supported families create the foundation children and youth need to learn, grow, and thrive—shaping the future of our communities and nation.

Gender Justice

Ensuring that people of all gender identities and expressions can live, learn, and work with safety, dignity, and respect.

Veterans’ Rights

Those who serve our country deserve to come home to stability, dignity, and the full benefits and services promised to them and their families.

Access to Justice

Everyone deserves equal access to justice, no matter who they are, where they’re from, or what they can afford.

Inclusive Community Development

The opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive shouldn’t depend on the zip code where you were born or where you currently reside.

Immigrants’ Rights

Public Counsel envisions a world where all (im)migrants live with dignity, power, and opportunity.

Housing Justice

Everyone deserves a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home.

Education Equity

Public education holds the promise of being “the great equalizer” in society, offering every child a chance to grow, progress, and pursue their dreams.

Economic Justice

Everyone deserves to live with dignity, security, and the opportunity to thrive economically—free from exploitation, discrimination, and deceptive financial practices.

Our policy agenda

Many of the harms experienced by our clients stem from deep-rooted structural injustice. In addition to providing direct services to individual clients, we work to change the systems that produce these harms.
