Homeless Persons Representation Project

The Homeless Persons Representation Project (HPRP), a non-profit law firm in Baltimore, provides legal services and systemic advocacy on behalf of people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in Maryland. HPRP's mission is to end homelessness in Maryland by providing free legal services, including advice, counsel, education, representation and advocacy, for low-income persons who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Our staff and volunteers pursue this mission by offering legal services through outreach in shelters, soup kitchens, welfare offices, community centers and on the street. Our direct representation informs broader-based systemic advocacy and impact litigation to address the root causes of homelessness.
