The Central West Justice Center, a subsidiary of Community Legal Aid, is pleased to announce that Tracy Ho has joined the organization and will lead the work of the Harry H. Dow Asian Outreach & Advocacy Project in Worcester County. In this role, Ho will conduct robust outreach to the county’s Southeast Asian communities and conduct know-your-rights trainings in the community. Ho will also assist clients with their pressing legal needs, which may include access to unemployment and other benefits programs, homelessness prevention and issues specifically affecting elders.
Originally from California, Ho graduated from New England Law in Boston in May 2022. Before coming to the Central West Justice Center, Ho served as a legal intern at Greater Boston Legal Services where she defended elders against evictions from public and subsidized housing. Additionally, Ho worked to ensure that people with disabilities, children, and elders have access to quality affordable health care, as well as SSI/SSDI benefits and SNAP benefits. Ho speaks Vietnamese in addition to English.
The Harry H. Dow Asian Outreach & Advocacy Project is generously supported by The Harry H. Dow Memorial Legal Assistance Fund. Since its launch in late 2015, the Project has provided legal assistance to hundreds of low-income and elderly individuals and families in Worcester County.
