A justice center combining three law agencies opened in Salt Lake City on Thursday, offering a centralized way to provide legal counsel to Utah's most vulnerable populations.
Combined, these agencies helped around 30,000 Utahns in 2022 by providing legal assistance for various issues including low incomes, housing, domestic violence, family law cases and more.
Bringing the three agencies under one roof will also save approximately $500,000 annually in rent, utilities and other costs, meaning those funds can go toward helping more Utahns, Ralphs said. The center is funded by grants and donations. She said the consequences of not getting access to these resources could be "catastrophic" for women, children and at-risk communities.
