- SYLAW's mission is to eradicate the civil legal barriers that homeless youth and youth at-risk of homelessness face which prevent them from becoming self-sufficient. SYLAW provides information and education to homeless and at-risk youth in the areas housing, education, employment, family law, consumer law, and public entitlements. INTAKE SYLAW's intake is currently closed and we are not accepting new referrals/cases. We hope to begin accepting referrals in June 2016 through our new partnership with Legal Counsel for Youth and Children (LCYC). Please visit LCYC's website for more info.
