Expungement Clinic
A criminal record creates barriers to housing and employment, perpetuating a cycle of poverty for people in recovery involved with the criminal justice system. Unfortunately, clearing one’s record can be expensive, costing in excess of $3,000. That’s why we are thrilled to partner with Portland Community College to offer the Oregon Recovery Expungement Clinic, where all expungement legal services are offered free of charge.
