The Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless is located in the True Reformer Building at 1200 U Street NW in the heart of Washington, D.C.'s U Street Corridor. At the core of the Legal Clinic's work is the Legal Assistance Project, which provides ''pro bono'' representation of individual low and no-income clients through a network of over 200 volunteer attorneys and legal assistants. Volunteers obtain clients on a referral basis or at one of seven intake sites run by the Legal Clinic at meal programs, health clinics and day programs throughout the District.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless, Inc. - Washington, DC - Overview of volunteer & donation opportunities, services, mission, contact information on GreatNonprofits )
