Legal Assistance Centre
ACSA's Legal Assistance Centre was funded by The Law Foundation of Ontario to increase the capacity of ACSA to address the legal needs of immigrants, refugees and racialized groups in Toronto East (Scarborough). The program adapted a virtual mode of programming by appointment only, allowing for more flexibility for clients and lawyers to work conveniently from their locations. After project completion in 2022, ACSA has adapted the program and is now running on its own through the Newcomers' Centre. It focuses on 2 areas of Law: Immigration and Family Law. Volunteer legal professionals render their consultation services for free.
Wrap Around Support is a program that provides vital services for newcomers who are recipients of Ontario Works to help them in life-stablization needs.
