Our lifeline is at risk

We provide free civil legal services to low income individuals across a 42-parish region, where over 400,000 people are eligible for help. From protecting survivors of domestic violence to defending the rights of seniors, children, and families in crisis - our work is a lifeline for those who have nowhere else to turn. Today, that lifeline is at risk. The proposed cut to Legal Services Corporation (LSC), which is the primary funder of civil legal aid, would devastate our ability to serve the Louisiana communities that need us the most. 

What's at stake? 

Fewer attorneys to represent survivors of abuse, tenants facing eviction, and children in need of care. 

Longer wait times for urgent legal help - or no help at all.

Reduced outreach to rural parishes where legal resources are already scarce.

Elimination of critical programs like the Senior Safeguard Project and the Economic Stability Project. 

Access to our Courts is guaranteed under our Louisiana Constitution.

We believe that everyone deserves access to justice, regardless of income, zip code, or circumstance, but we can't do it alone. Your support helps us Bridge the Gap - ensuring that families, seniors, and children continue to receive easy and timely access to quality legal services. 

Donate today to protect civil legal services for over 400,000 eligible individuals across Louisiana. Together we can keep the doors open to justice.
