The Consumer Bankruptcy Assistance Project (CBAP) is a nonprofit legal services agency formed to meet the needs of low-income Philadelphians. Today, the CBAP is the primary provider of pro bono Chapter 7 bankruptcy representation and debt counseling to individuals whose incomes fall below the federal poverty guidelines. Pro bono attorneys, law students and paralegals volunteer their time to assist clients alongside CBAP's four full-time employees.
In an effort to meet the dire and unmet legal need of Philadelphia's poor, the CBAP was formed in 1992 by consumer and business bankruptcy attorneys, Eastern District of Pennsylvania judges and Community Legal Services Inc. The new nonprofit was created to provide free legal services to those seeking basic Chapter 7 bankruptcy representation but who could not afford an attorney.
