Integrating Health and Legal Services

Guidelines

The Law and Health Initiative supports the integration of legal and paralegal advocacy into community-based health services, both to increase access to justice and ensure comprehensive care for vulnerable groups. The aim is to ensure access to timely, effective, and affordable legal assistance for underserved populations such as women and girls, people who use drugs, sex workers, LGBT persons, and people living with HIV and other terminal illnesses.

To apply for funding from the Law and Health Initiative, please see the guidelines for submitting a letter of intent.
