Family Facing Race and Housing Discrimination Finds Support

We were so thrilled to find a house to rent we could afford. But when we turned in our first check and got the keys, the landlord said she was happy to rent to a "nice white couple" and not some "dirty Mexicans."

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. In 1989, LSC provided funding to three of our local agencies. Now, it provides funding to just one, due to funding cutbacks. Help SVCLS assure that our low-income neighbors get the civil legal services they require.
