lEGAL FINES, fEE’S & hOUSING stability
Through the AADM Freedom Fund we offer critical financial support to individuals struggling with legal fines, bail, or housing stability ultimately fostering pathways toward stability and freedom. Poverty should not prevent individuals from attaining their freedom or stability.
Expenses we currently cover when funds are available:
bail, probation fees
court-ordered classes
rehabilitation costs
driver’s license reinstatement fees, transitional housing support (hotel vouchers), and eviction prevention.
Eviction preventions
Hotel Vouchers
By addressing these barriers, the Freedom Fund helps to restore dignity, empower individuals, and promote a path toward justice, financial stability, and hope for a better future.
Our goal is to help you overcome legal and financial obstacles—creating a path toward healing, stability, and long-term justice.
Our mission is to empower individuals with the tools and support they need to stand up against discrimination. To help you protect your human (or) civil rights.
