Feedback Survey
While civil legal aid is central to securing stability and opportunity, too often legal services are considered as separate and apart from the same services it helps secure: health care, housing, employment, safety from violence, and other human services. This panel focuses on how civil legal aid can be and has been integrated into federal and state efforts around facilitating reentry, serving veterans, and assisting victims of crime. This session will focus on federal funding opportunities – both direct discretionary federal funds and federal pass-through funds administered at the state level – that can support this work. Panelists will share information, ideas, and experiences about accessing and implementing non-Legal Services Corporation federal funding in these three areas. Those in the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions regarding these funds, partnerships, and service delivery.
