Resources

Navigating the legal system can be overwhelming, but you’re not alone. Riverside Legal Aid is committed to connecting individuals and families with the community resources they need—especially when facing difficult times. Whether you’re looking for support during extreme weather or need help addressing unsafe living conditions, our Resources page is here to guide you.

If you or a loved one needs relief from extreme temperatures, Riverside County offers designated Warm Centers during the winter and Cool Centers during the summer. These locations provide a safe, air-conditioned (or heated) space where you can rest, hydrate, and stay protected from the elements—free of charge. We encourage all residents, especially seniors and those with health concerns, to take advantage of these vital services during heat waves or cold snaps.

You’ll also find a directory of Code Enforcement offices throughout Riverside County. These agencies handle complaints related to substandard housing, illegal dumping, unsafe conditions, and more. If you’re dealing with an issue in your neighborhood or rental property, contacting your local code enforcement office can be the first step toward resolution. We’ve compiled the most up-to-date phone numbers so you can take action and advocate for a healthier, safer environment.
