Every month there are 3,000 new foreclosure filings in Washington. Every day Washington residents are losing their homes. Every active lawyer in Washington can help preserve homes and neighborhoods. Sign up now!

Apart from our families and friends, few things are as meaningful to us as our homes. Our homes are where we raise our families, welcome our friends, and retreat at the end of the day — our homes provide us with a sense of security. And in today’s foreclosure crisis, with thousands of people in danger of losing their homes, there are opportunities for Washington lawyers to help by volunteering for the Washington State Bar Association’s Home Foreclosure Legal Aid Project.

This statewide project provides an opportunity for lawyers to provide meaningful and much-needed assistance to homeowners in need. Participating lawyers will receive free online training. Ongoing support from fellow members of the Bar who are experienced in housing and foreclosure matters will also be available.

We have designed the project so that lawyers who want to volunteer can give a little or a lot of time. We want to make it as easy as possible for lawyers to be of service to their communities, and fulfill aspirational pro bono obligations. Lawyers are in a unique position to serve.

Lawyer recruitment began in May 2009, and we started accepting clients June 15, 2009.
