Every day there are low-income Coloradans who need legal assistance to protect themselves and their families but cannot afford counsel. You can help by supporting the Legal Aid Foundation on Colorado Gives Day, when the value of your donation will be increased by the $1 million FirstBank Incentive Fund. Contributions may be scheduled in advance here. 

Affordable housing is a scarce resource so Colorado Legal Services (CLS) works hard to keep low-income Coloradans in their homes by fighting unjust foreclosures and evictions. Harold, a disabled veteran, was threatened with foreclosure when he was unable to pay fines that were repeatedly assessed by his HOA. The HOA objected to a small bus parked in his driveway that had been equipped to accommodate his wheelchair. With a CLS lawyer as Harold's advocate at trial, the court ultimately ruled that the bus was not a commercial vehicle and dismissed the foreclosure action, allowing Harold and his wife to remain in their long-time home.
