In 1995, HAP began a new project to encourage volunteer participation by law
firms and corporate legal departments.
Through the Adopt-a-Shelter project, a
firm or coporate legal department agrees to staff a HAP legal clinic on a
monthly or bimonthly basis. HAP has collaborates with ten law firms and
corporate legal departments through this program. HAP continues to build on
these programs to help even more homeless clients.
