Akron City partners with Legal Aid and United Way for community support initiative

During the recent City of Akron Council Committee meeting on June 23, 2025, a significant collaborative effort was highlighted involving Community Legal Aid, United Way of Summit and Medina Counties, and the City of Akron. This partnership aims to enhance support services for residents in need, particularly focusing on legal assistance and community resources.

The collaboration is expected to address pressing issues faced by many in the community, such as access to legal representation and essential services. By pooling resources and expertise, these organizations aim to create a more robust support system for Akron residents, ensuring that those who require help can receive it more effectively.

In addition to this key initiative, the meeting also touched on various other topics, including updates on local infrastructure projects and community safety measures.
