Columbus Families Together Fund
Columbus City Council established the Columbus Families Together Fund (CFTF) in 2017 to protect immigrant and refugee families from the financial and emotional devastation that results from aggressive immigration enforcement. CFTF provides funding to support legal education and representation for eligible immigrants in removal proceedings before the Cleveland Immigration Court.
Advocates for Basic Legal Equality, Inc. (ABLE) is a non-profit law firm that provides high quality legal assistance in civil matters to help eligible low-income individuals and groups in Ohio achieve self-reliance, and equal justice and economic opportunity. Our work is made possible by the commitment of our funders, including Columbus City Council; Ohio Legal Assistance Foundation (OLAF); The Supreme Court of Ohio Civil Justice Program Fund; and the Vera Institute of Justice.
