En español | For nearly 50 years, Legal Counsel for the Elderly has championed the dignity and rights of Washington, D.C. elders by providing free legal and social work services to those in need — empowering, defending and protecting.

Led by Executive Director Rhonda Cunningham Holmes, we address the most important aspects of older adults’ lives: housing, economic security, self-determination, and health & safety. We reach nearly 10,000 people annually, while advocating for city-wide reforms in laws, regulations, and long-term care facilities.

In the last two years, we secured nearly $40 million in benefits for our clients. That’s homes saved, public benefits secured, and more. And it equates to nearly $400,000 every week.
