Spotlight on Disaster Recovery
LSC is awarding $19.8 million to 14 legal services organizations to support the delivery of legal services to low-income people impacted by hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, floods and severe storms that occurred in 2022. Grant recipients will use this funding to increase the range and quality of legal services available to survivors. Many of the funded projects are leveraging partnerships and collaborations to spread knowledge about best practices, increase efficiency and share resources.
成人抖阴 Disaster Recovery and Legal Aid
Even with legal aid鈥檚 impact in the aftermath of disaster, there is a significant gap in the disaster-response landscape because of the lack of a coordinated effort to deal with the legal needs of disaster survivors. LSC helps aid in this gap through their Disaster Relief Grants Program. Most disaster-response organizations are unaware of both the legal rights and issues faced by disaster survivors and the particular needs of low-income communities. Legal aid lawyers are deeply networked in low-income communities and have experience creating access for people who face barriers to services and information.
