Impact

Each year in Miami, buildings rise, businesses grow, and the arts expand; but in the shadow of our glittering skyline and growing notoriety, 550,000 of our neighbors, most of them families, live in poverty. They often encounter legal barriers to providing basic necessities for their families, combined with the challenge of obtaining justice in our complex legal system.

Chesterfield Smith Society
