PBRC wants to make pro bono easier – that's why we're launching the Maryland Pro Bono Portal.

Recently, PBRC's Executive Director Sharon E. Goldsmith spoke to The Daily Record about the increasing need for pro bono: “Legal services organizations are really desperate for more volunteer attorneys. In practically every area, we’re seeing a huge increase (in need), which is why we’re trying really hard to bring in more attorneys.”

PBRC has designed the Maryland Pro Bono Portal to be your one stop shop for connecting with pro bono programs, cases, trainings, clinics, and other pro bono opportunities across the state.

Did you know? A minimum-wage worker in Maryland would need to work 100 hours a week to afford a modest two-bedroom rental.

That's according to the 's 2026 report.

With housing costs stretching family budgets, helping Marylanders remain in their homes is an important part of addressing our housing affordability crisis.

Maryland's Access to Counsel in Evictions (ACE) law gives eligible renters facing eviction the right to free legal representation. Lawyers can help renters understand their rights, defend their homes, and explore options to remain housed.

And the benefits extend beyond individual households.

According to an independent evaluation by Stout Risius Ross, every $1 invested in ACE generated an estimated $3.04 in fiscal and economic benefits for Maryland, totaling $46.7 million in one year.

Keeping Marylanders housed benefits us all.

Learn how ACE works. Share accurate information. Connect eligible renters with free legal help.

Mary Cox, Staff Attorney with PBRC's Courtroom Advocacy Project, was featured in The Baltimore Banner discussing the rise of evictions in Baltimore County.

“They’re being hauled into court because they’re behind on rent, yet they’re missing the opportunity to earn more money to be able to pay the rent,” said Mary Cox, a staff attorney with the Pro Bono Resource Center of Maryland who represents people in rent court. “People just can’t afford it.”

Maryland can't build its way out of a housing crisis while families lose the homes they already have.

Affordability starts with affordable housing. A Comptroller of Maryland report found that nearly half of Maryland renters spend more than 30% of their income on rent. That leaves less money for food, healthcare, childcare, and other everyday expenses.

Building more affordable housing is essential. But helping Marylanders keep the homes they already have matters, too.

That's where Maryland's Access to Counsel in Evictions (ACE) law comes in.

ACE gives eligible renters facing eviction the right to a free lawyer to defend their rights and work toward staying housed.

Maryland has brought ACE to full implementation statewide.

When a renter faces eviction, a lawyer can explain their rights, help them respond in court, and explore options that may allow them to remain housed. That's how legal representation can support housing stability.

Learn how ACE works. Share what you learn. Connect eligible renters with free legal help.
