La Center For Law & Justice, Inc.

La Center For Law & Justice, Inc., doing business as Survivor Justice Center, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Los Angeles, California, that has served crime victims since 1973 with a specialized focus on survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. The organization provides comprehensive legal services and advocacy to underserved and marginalized victim populations in Los Angeles County, with particular emphasis on removing barriers to justice access for individuals facing challenges related to limited English proficiency, disabilities, immigration status, and economic hardship. Through its federal grant awards, Survivor Justice Center delivers direct civil and criminal legal assistance, case management, training, and community education designed to strengthen victims' access to the justice system and improve organizational capacity to serve vulnerable populations.

Survivor Justice Center's federal grant portfolio reflects a comprehensive approach to victim services across multiple programs administered by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women and Office of Justice Programs. The organization currently operates under four active prime grants totaling $2.5 million, including the Legal Assistance for Victims program (CFDA 16.524) providing $900,000 for comprehensive legal services to domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking survivors with at least 80 percent focused on sexual assault survivors; the Justice Systems Response to Families program (CFDA 16.021) providing $600,000 for court-based services including restraining order assistance, a resource helpline, and pro bono attorney recruitment; the Education, Training, and Enhanced Services to End Violence Against Women with Disabilities program (CFDA 16.529) providing $400,000 for accessible services to survivors with disabilities in partnership with East Los Angeles Women's Center, Mental Health Advocacy Services, and VIA Care; and a Victims of Crime grant (CFDA 16.582) providing $400,000 for trauma-informed victim services addressing language access and disability barriers. Previous grants included additional Legal Assistance for Victims awards totaling $600,000 and $425,000, a Services for Victims of Trafficking grant (CFDA 16.320) providing $600,000 for human trafficking survivors, and cooperative agreements focused on disability services and victim-centered programming. The organization's service delivery encompasses legal representation in protection order proceedings, family law matters, victim compensation and restitution cases, immigration assistance including U- and T-visas, civil and criminal justice advocacy, post-conviction relief assistance, Title IX actions, and case management for trafficking survivors. Survivor Justice Center collaborates extensively with local partners including the Los Angeles Superior Court, Downtown Women's Center, East Los Angeles Women's Center, Central Bureau Family Justice Center, Strength United, and multiple community-based organizations. Additionally, the organization has received multiple sub-grants from the California Office of Emergency Services since 2021 to provide innovative service delivery and direct legal services for marginalized crime victims.
