LAW is heavily involved in the Windsor-Essex Community.

​

Our community development initiatives aim to address issues resulting from violence and/or exploitation of people, and to help low-income, marginalized people meet their basic essential needs. For example:

​

• As Co-Chair the VAWCCWE, LAW is advocating to ensure the development of a seamless service delivery model in Windsor Essex that addresses barriers in programs and policies.

• Our Migrant Worker programs advocate for federal policy changes that respect the dignity of migrant workers across the country.

• The City of Windsor bylaw for residential landlord licensing began enforcement in February 2023. As the pilot comes back to City Council in February 2025, LAW will continue to provide input and monitor the progress with respect to enforcement.

• We work with our clinic colleagues to advocate for income maintenance programs that support our communities.

• We advocate with our partners across the province to recognize intimate partner violence as a epidemic in our communities.
