Virginia Poverty Law Center

The Virginia Poverty Law Center (VPLC) is committed to leading and coordinating efforts to seek justice in civil legal matters for lower-income Virginians. Since 1978, we have addressed the civil legal needs of Virginia’s lower-income families by engaging in legislative advocacy and by providing leadership, technical assistance and public education to legal aid staff, private bar attorneys and low-income clients. We are the only statewide organization conducting trainings that focus exclusively on the legal rights of lower-income Virginians and are instrumental in coordinating the work of the statewide legal aid community.
