Center for Civil Justice: Fighting Poverty Through Advocacy
Fighting Poverty Through Advocacy • To protect access to affordable health care • To protect affordable and fair housing opportunities • To advance racial justice
CCJ is a non-profit organization that uses its expertise on
laws and policies affecting low-income people in order to act as a voice for
those individuals and enable them to receive assistance through social safety
net programs. Through legal action, legislative and policy advocacy,
educational initiatives, and collaborative strategies, CCJ achieves systemic
changes that improve the lives of thousands of low-income individuals and
families in Michigan. We also provide legal and technical assistance to advocates and organizations
statewide on a variety of policy issues, especially those related to housing,
healthcare, food and nutrition and economic self-sufficiency.
