The White House’s Domestic Supplemental Request to Congress includes $21 million in disaster relief for LSC. This is the first time that the White House has included funds for LSC in its request for disaster relief.
LSC begins its podcast, “Talk Justice.” Episodes are released twice a month and feature leaders from the legal community, business and government exploring different aspects of access to justice.
LSC launches task forces on natural disasters and the opioid epidemic. Task force members work to identify access-to-justice barriers and best practices in these areas to help low-income Americans. Other LSC task forces soon follow, focusing on veterans, housing issues and rural communities.
