Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

THE ORGANIZATIONS MISSION IS TO PROVIDE FREE CIVIL LEGAL SERVICES TO INDIGENT PERSONS WHO QUALIFY UNDER STANDARDS OF ELIGIBILITY ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR AS SPECIFIED BY GRANT FUNDERS.

  • During fiscal year 2025,LAD continued to provide services primarily for eviction, prevention/housing preservation comprehensive services for Veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and criminal record expungement which removes barriers to housing and employment opportunities. LAD staff handled more than 2000 cases for clients. We held outreach clinics in all 3 counties providing onsite intake and advice for new clients. We received grants to support our expungement services and continue to host expungement fairs in partnership with community agencies. Our grants for Right to Counsel and Legal Services for Veterans were renewed and increased, and we were also awarded a second Right to Counsel grant, enabling LAD to increase the number of clients served

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
