Our commitment to inclusivity and equity within legal empowerment is absolute. We are committed to employing resources, tools, and efforts most sensibly and effectively. We are rethinking how to be more effective in sustaining new collaborations regarding access to justice for the deaf community. We will temporarily pause this GlobalGiving project to have the necessary space to hold conversations with members of these groups and listen about how we can be more relevant.
At this moment, we have been identifying resources to engage in these initiatives. As mentioned in our previous report, we need more resources to hire interpreters to translate educational content and support our client intake processes. Yet, long-term needs such as continuous support such as legal representation will require us to decide on specific areas and topics where the mission of Ayuda Legal Puerto Rico and the needs of the deaf meet. Because our focus is housing and the right to stay, we aim to analyze the significant barriers this population faces regarding shelters, homes, and housing assistance. We are confident this summer will provide the space to learn more about how winning housing justice looks like for this community. Once we have a clearer picture, we will reopen a revised version of this project, trusting that once again, all of you will respond with solidarity.
Till then, please visit Ayuda Legal Puerto Rico GG platform and donate to our other projects!
