Legal Services of North Florida Awarded $481,000 to boost pro bono services
The Legal Services Corporation awarded Legal Services of North Florida a $481,386 “Pro Bono Innovation Fund” grant.
Legal Services of North Florida (LSNF) is one of 17 legal aid organizations receiving a grant. In total, LSC is awarding $5 million to support efforts to expand and improve pro bono legal services for low-income Americans.
LSC says in the face of a vast justice gap — where low-income people do not receive sufficient legal help for 92% of their civil legal problems — pro bono services are one of the approaches it advances to address the disparities in access to justice.
