Justice Center For Legal Aid

Justice Center For Legal Aid (JCLA) is a non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov since June 2018, specializing in providing legal aid and support services primarily focused on vulnerable populations, particularly refugees and marginalized communities. While the vendor record does not provide comprehensive background details, the organization appears to be committed to legal empowerment, rights awareness, and providing comprehensive legal assistance to underserved populations. Based on its federal award history, JCLA offers a range of legal services that include legal consultations, awareness sessions, non-court legal services, in-court representation, and advocacy research targeting vulnerable individuals, with a particular emphasis on refugee and host community support.

Regarding federal contract awards, JCLA has received two sub-contract awards dated July 23, 2024, both involving task orders described as "JCLA TASK ORDER" and "JCLA TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE". The specific details of these contract awards are limited in the provided documentation, and there is no indication of a direct prime federal contract vehicle. The sub-contract awards suggest the organization works collaboratively with prime contractors, potentially providing specialized legal or technical support services, though the exact nature and scope of these task orders are not fully elaborated in the available information.

In terms of federal grant awards, JCLA has received two notable sub-grant awards that demonstrate its international humanitarian legal support work. The first award from Internews Network on November 1, 2023, was for the "Strengthening Civil Society System (SAWT) Activity". The second and more detailed grant award from the Norwegian Refugee Council on September 30, 2022, focused on legally empowering vulnerable Jordanians and refugees. This comprehensive grant project involved multiple service components including conducting 110 legal awareness sessions targeting 2,200 beneficiaries, providing 900 non-court legal consultations, offering 300 in-court legal representation services, and developing research documentation on legal challenges faced by non-Syrian refugees in Jordan. The grant work emphasized a human-rights based approach, digital service delivery, and sustainable empowerment of vulnerable individuals.
