HLAB Annual Report: 2025-26

2025-26 was a year of building for the Bureau: building capacity, infrastructure, and community relationships. We served over 550 individuals and reached over 880 through community lawyering; outside of direct legal services, we advocated for rent control, joined the Fairness for Farmworkers coalition, and advocated for the Family Miranda bill. The report spotlights these efforts, case stories, and much more!
