En español | For 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.
