The Urban Justice Center is a New York City-based legal services organization focused on addressing homelessness, discrimination, asylum, and intimate partner violence through a network of long-running projects that serve tens of thousands annually. Each project combines free direct legal services with strategies such as impact litigation, social services, community organizing, legislative advocacy, and trainings that help people understand rights, allowing for tailored approaches to different issues. The center also runs the Social Justice Accelerator to help incubate new projects that pursue emerging or underserved justice concerns, providing guidance and support to accelerate their development. Founded in 1984 by Douglas Lasdon, the organization began in a burned-out East Harlem building and expanded over decades to its current city-wide scope. In recent news, Urban Justice Center partnered with Oasis Center in Nashville to support queer and questioning youth, illustrating its collaborative approach beyond New York.
