SELATAG: Connecting Underserved Communities with Trusted Legal Support.

Planting seeds that bloom into safe homes, vital services, and a caring community

Our Mission

The Southeast Los Angeles Tenant Assistance Group (SELATAG) connects tenants in Los Angeles County to free legal help and tenant lawyers. As a State Bar–certified Lawyer Referral Service in Southeast LA and Orange County, we help renters facing eviction, unsafe housing, and landlord disputes. We provide:

  • Free referrals to attorneys who can give legal advice for LA County tenants through our helpline

  • Direct referrals to qualified tenant rights attorneys

  • Bilingual housing workshops in Spanish and English

  • Plain-language guides on California tenant law

  • Special support for families with children receiving Regional Center services

We bridge the justice gap by linking vulnerable communities to tenant lawyers who protect their housing rights. Every Southeast LA resident deserves quality legal help to maintain stable, dignified housing.

Our Motivation

SELATAG isn’t just another nonprofit. We’re a legal referral service built for people who usually fall through the cracks: single moms raising autistic kids, isolated seniors getting pushed around, and others the system quietly overlooks.

Our job is to connect them with vetted lawyers who actually know what they’re doing. Through community outreach and targeted campaigns, we cut through the noise and help real people access the legal help they’d otherwise never get. It's not charity; it’s about leveling the playing field.
