Pursuing Justice Newsletter May 2025

LASCO EDITOR

Thank you for your ongoing support in helping us meet our mission of providing civil legal aid and advocacy to overcome unfairness and injustice to reduce poverty and increase opportunities. I am happy to share a few highlights from our work in 2024 with this year’s Annual Report.

The Report goes beyond the numbers – the 32,753 people we helped and $11.9 million in economic benefits our clients received – to also tell the story of the impact that our services had on those in our community. Whether it was saving a home or resolving a tax lien, our legal representation provided life changing assistance to our clients. We hope you are able to take a few minutes to review the report, and we look forward to your partnership in 2025. Read the 2025 LASCO Annual Report.
