Through the CourtSupport program, the MBF is developing and funding projects designed to assist community members navigating Multnomah County courts.
Our initial goal to place a CourtSupport Navigator at the information desk in the courthouse lobby was realized in the fall of 2020. Our Navigator, who is bilingual (English and Spanish), is serving community members entering the courthouse by answering basic questions about the court and connecting individuals who need accommodations or extra assistance to services and resources within the courthouse. The Navigator's mission is to make the entire process of navigating the courthouse and legal system more welcoming and less intimidating. Through this and other future projects, CourtSupport will work to close critical funding gaps in areas impacting access to justice and the quality and administration of the legal system.

The MBF is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
