Please leave a message if no one answers and we will return your call. Centro will continue to promptly return calls by phone from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. If you have a scheduled appointment, please call the number you were provided. If you were not provided a number, clients should expect a call from Centro Legal.
We will provide updates as we continue to explore the best ways to provide legal services to our community, while also being attentive to public health guidance.

We assist tenants throughout Alameda County and Contra Costa County. We cannot assist with disputes between tenants, roommates, or neighbors, or with inter-family issues at any clinic. We can only serve tenants who meet Federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Income Limits. Proof of income may be required to receive services.
