"The impact of poverty on access to legal justice and racial justice cannot be overstated. The Center's goal is to be a bridge to services for those who would otherwise not be able to afford them." - Sandy Williams, September 1, 2022
Rental Assistance
We partnered with the City of Spokane to provide
rental assistance funding to African Americans and the BIPOC population in the greatest need.
Our Rental Assistance Application Portal is not open to the general public.
We are accepting & reviewing applications on a case-by-case basis. A member of the rental assistance program team will contact you after your application has been submitted.
