Georgia Legal Services Program

The Georgia Legal Services Program (GLSP) is a vital nonprofit organization that has been committed to providing high-quality civil legal services to low-income residents of Georgia since its inception in 1970. GLSP was established in response to the significant gap between the legal needs of individuals who cannot afford representation and the availability of such services. The organization operates across 154 of Georgia's 159 counties, primarily focusing on those areas outside of metro Atlanta. GLSP aims to ensure that vulnerable populations—particularly low-income families, seniors, and individuals facing discrimination—receive the legal assistance required to navigate complex civil matters.

Through a network of ten regional offices, GLSP offers a range of services in various legal areas including family law, housing assistance, eviction prevention, public benefits access, and education support. The organization prides itself on its commitment to racial justice, recognizing that many issues faced by clients stem from systemic inequalities. GLSP is dedicated not only to fighting for individual rights but also to addressing the underlying causes of poverty and discrimination. This commitment is reflected in their mission to empower clients through access to legal resources and representation. The impact of their work is evident as they strive to enhance the lives of thousands of Georgians each year, ensuring that justice is not a privilege for the few, but a right for all.
