In 2014, CGLA acquired Chicago Legal Advocacy for Incarcerated Mothers (CLAIM), through which CGLA provides vital services for women under correctional control remain intact. Today, CGLA strives to bring about substantive, transformational change in the lives of those it serves by using a holistic model that integrates the delivery of legal services with supportive social services.
