    • Mission

    Iowa Legal Aid makes hope, dignity and justice available to low-income Iowans through legal assistance and education that protects fundamental rights, basic necessities and access to the judicial system; challenges policies and practices that harm low-income persons; and empowers clients to advocate effectively for themselves and their communities.

    About Us

    Iowa Legal Aid is a not-for-profit organization that provides free legal assistance to low-income Iowans. It is a statewide program serving residents of all 99 Iowa counties with ten regional offices located in Sioux City, Council Bluffs, Mason City, Des Moines, Ottumwa, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Davenport, Dubuque and Waterloo. Iowa Legal Aid handles civil legal issues involving basic necessities, fundamental rights and physical safety, such as: health care, consumer rights, education, employment, individual rights, housing, debt collection, family law and government benefits.

    In addition to its staff members, Iowa Legal Aid fulfills its mission with the help of volunteers including attorneys, students, interpreters, former clients, retirees and other community members.
