Legal Aid and Defender Association, Inc.
Project Herizon
Herizon empowers caregivers through legal advocacy and support, alleviating barriers that impact obtaining and maintaining employment, and bridging the gap between advocacy and opportunity access.
Project Herizon provides caregiver support, removing legal barriers in the workplace and threats to family resources; increasing family and employment stability; and connecting caregivers to resources to retain employment and career opportunities. The project will provide legal advice, virtual and online legal education, direct legal representation and connection to resources through a resource navigator, offering solutions that ease the constraints on the time and resources of caregivers to reduce work conflicts and absences.
