For more than 35 years, Access Justice Brooklyn has helped Brooklyn families protect what they’ve built—from their homes and financial security to the assets they hope to pass on to future generations.
Today, we’re taking the next step.
“Our work is about helping families protect what they have built—and creating opportunities to build what comes next.”
— Lilia Toson, President & CEO
That means expanding access to financial education and coaching, protecting homeownership and family assets, and developing AJB’s Economic Development Program to provide legal support to Brooklyn entrepreneurs as they build and grow their businesses.
For Black Brooklynites, entrepreneurship can be a powerful pathway to financial mobility, community investment, and intergenerational wealth. By helping remove legal barriers, we can help turn ideas into sustainable opportunities.
In the last year, AJB:
• Helped more than 12,700 individuals and families
• Handled more than 5,600 legal matters
• Helped clients secure more than $3.35 million in financial benefits and savings
One month. Endless impact. A stronger economic future for Brooklyn.
This August, join us in investing in a more economically secure and equitable Brooklyn.
Give today and help us build what comes next.
