Cutbacks in Santa Clara County Funding

The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) was established by Congress in 1974 to promote equal access to justice and to provide grants for civil legal assistance to low-income Americans.

Help SVCLS assure that our low-income neighbors get the civil legal services they require.
