The Rhode Island Center for Justice is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing public-interest law in Rhode Island, based in Providence, that collaborates with community groups to strengthen advocacy and service delivery through legal representation and strategic guidance. Its areas of focus include housing, immigration, workers' rights, criminal justice, education, and utility shutoffs, reflecting the critical needs of low-income residents in the state. It operates within Rhode Island's public-interest legal services and focuses on expanding access to justice for underserved communities. A notable development in 2022 saw it partner with Rhode Island Legal Services Inc, along with Direct Action for Rights and Equality (DARE) and HousingWorks RI, to provide housing-court defense for eligible low-income Providence residents. This collaboration aims to prevent evictions and bolster housing stability.
