CARPLS received a grant from NBCUniversal Foundation’s 2020 Project Innovation Program!
Before the pandemic, one in five Americans may have been eligible for free legal assistance but only half could access important legal resources. Now the demand for free legal help is even greater.
“In this time of significantly expanded need, CARPLS is uniquely positioned to continue providing our legal services remotely and uninterrupted for our clients and to our legal aid community. We believe that no one should face their legal problem alone and we are here for them,” said Allen Schwartz, CARPLS Executive Director.
Whether counseling someone on how to file for unemployment, navigate family custodial agreements, or communicate with their landlord, attorneys at CARPLS provide essential services to our community. We are grateful to receive this grant from NBCUniversal Foundation.
