Legal Services Corp. could receive largest funding increase under new legislation
The House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations approved on Thursday funding legislation that includes $600 million for the Legal Services Corp., the largest funder of civil legal aid to low-income Americans, in fiscal year 2022. The bill includes $135 million more than LSC’s current appropriation, and if enacted, would be the largest single increase in its funding. “This funding increase is particularly critical to address the surge in legal needs, such as unemployment claims, evictions, and incidents of domestic violence, arising from the pandemic,” said LSC President Ronald S. Flagg. The bulk of the appropriation would go to basic field grants, which support the operations of LSC-funded organizations around the country. (July 16 press release)
