Legal Aid strengthens our communities and transforms the lives of everyday Ohioans.

Legal aid works in each of Ohio’s 88 counties to protect survivors of  domestic violence; to prevent the financial exploitation of Ohio’s seniors; to ensure access to healthcare for low-income Ohioans; to preserve stable housing; and to secure financial stability so that all Ohioans can lead safe, stable, and healthy lives.

In 2023, Ohio’s legal aids served 135,875 Ohioans, including:

  • 18,273 seniors

  • 4,894 survivors of domestic violence; and,

  • 58,981 children

OHIO LEGAL AID FUNDING SOURCES

Ohio contributes more than $2 for every federal dollar invested through privately-raised dollars, interest earned on lawyer trust accounts, civil filing fees and some limited state general revenue.
