The Community Health Law Project is a New Jersey-based nonprofit legal services organization focused on representing and advocating for low-income individuals with disabilities. Founded in 1976, it operates statewide and concentrates on removing discriminatory barriers, protecting rights, and preserving independence through negotiation, litigation, and advocacy. Its clients come from a broad range of disability groups, including developmental and physical disabilities, visual impairments, and those living with HIV/AIDS, with services delivered by a staff working across multiple regional and satellite offices. The organization provides civil legal assistance and advocacy to help people access necessary supports and maintain quality of life, while also educating professionals and the public through conferences and its website. In recent years, it has engaged in partnerships to expand access to legal services for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals and to broaden its reach across New Jersey.
