Mission Statement
The New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty works to assure that the policies, laws and practices intended to address the problems of those living in poverty are designed and administered legally, fairly and effectively. Our approach is to focus on areas that present the greatest opportunity for systemic improvement.
Description
The New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty is a non-profit law firm and advocacy group with the mission of addressing systemic issues that affect the poor. We work to assure that the policies, laws and practices intended to address the problems of those living in poverty are well designed and are implemented legally, fairly and effectively.
The Center carries out its mission in several ways with one common theme: to bring the voice and perspective of low-income New Mexicans to processes which may impact their lives, and from which they are often excluded.
