Refugee Receives Help in Obtaining Citizenship

I fled Vietnam as a refugee with my family in 1985. When my mother became ill, I used all of my savings to travel to Vietnam to help care for her.

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.
