| $210,942 | LAST YEAR, MVLS'S WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT OPENED 873 CASES AND CLOSED 695. THIS YEAR MVLS EXPECTS TO SERVE MANY MORE JOB TRAINEES AS MVLS HAS ADDED TWO NEW SITES: BON SECOURS COMMUNITY CENTER AND MARYLAND BIOTECHNOLOGY INSTITUTE. TRAINEES WILL THEN BE ABLE TO JOIN THE WORKFORCE WITHOUT THE BURDEN OF OLD CRIMINAL CHARGES, CHILD SUPPORT ARREARS, CONSUMER DEBT OR FAMILY LAW DISPUTES. |
| $87,122 | MVLS HAS BECOME THE STATEWIDE LEADER IN ADVOCATING FOR LOW-INCOME MARYLANDERS TO DO ADVANCED PLANNING TO ENSURE CONTINUITY OF HOMEOWNERSHIP AND TO PROMOTE NEIGHBORHOOD STABILITY. OUR ADVOCACY EFFORTS AROSE FROM OUR FORECLOSURE PREVENTION AND TAX SALE PROJECTS DURING WHICH MVLS VOLUNTEERS EXPERIENCED UNANTICIPATED BARRIERS TO SAVING THEIR CLIENTS' HOMES BECAUSE COMPLEX DEED ISSUES AROSE. IN THE TYPICAL CASE, THE ORIGINAL HOMEOWNER/FAMILY MEMBER DID NOT HAVE A WILL OR AN ESTATE PLAN, BUT MULTIPLE GENERATIONS OF FAMILY MEMBERS HAD LIVED IN THE HOME OVER MANY YEARS' TIME. WITHOUT ESTATE PLANNING, OUR VOLUNTEERS WERE UNABLE TO HELP THESE MULTI-GENERATIONAL HOUSEHOLDS REMAIN IN THEIR ORIGINAL FAMILY MEMBER'S HOME. THE FALL-OUT FOR THESE FAMILY MEMBERS WAS SUBSTANTIAL AND IN MANY CASES CATASTROPHIC. THEY ARE DENIED CRITICALLY IMPORTANT RESOURCES TO ENABLE THEM TO STAY IN THE FAMILY HOME, SUCH AS THE HOMEOWNER'S PROPERTY TAX CREDIT (THE MOST IMPORTANT PUBLIC BENEFIT KEEPING LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS OUT OF TAX SALE), ALL STATE AND FEDERAL HOME REPAIR PROGRAMS (WHICH CAN ADDRESS NOT ONLY HABITABILITY ISSUES, BUT ALSO SAVE THE HOMEOWNER MONEY BY REDUCING ENERGY COSTS AND WATER BILLS), AND IN BALTIMORE CITY, THE SENIOR AND LOW-INCOME WATER CREDITS. MVLS ALONG WITH OTHER COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS AND FAITH LEADERS HAS UNDERTAKEN A MAJOR OUTREACH CAMPAIGN TO EDUCATE COMMUNITY GROUPS AND INDIVIDUALS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ESTATE PLANNING, REGARDLESS OF THEIR INCOME OR ASSETS. IN FY18, WITH SUPPORT FROM THE STULMAN FOUNDATION, MVLS LAUNCHED ITS ADVANCE PLANNING PROJECT, WHICH DRAMATICALLY INCREASED OUR ABILITY TO CONDUCT OUTREACH AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. |
| $84,260 | IN EARLY 2017, MVLS LAUNCHED OUR HUMAN TRAFFICKING PREVENTION PROJECT(HTPP) IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF BALTIMORE SCHOOL OF LAW (UB LAW). THE PROJECT, WHICH IS AN OUTGROWTH OF UB LAW'S HUMAN TRAFFICKING CLINIC, EXPANDS THE CLINIC'S CAPACITY BY ENGAGING VOLUNTEER ATTORNEYS, WHO ASSIST HUMAN TRAFFICKING SURVIVORS WITH POST-CONVICTION RELIEF SUCH AS RECORD EXPUNGEMENT, SHIELDING AND VACATUR AS WELL AS MYRIAD OTHER CIVIL LEGAL ISSUES. HTPP VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF ASSITED 39 SURVIVORS OF TRAFFICKING DURING FY18. THROUGH OUR PROJECT COORDINATOR, WE HAVE BUILT STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH NEW COMMUNITY PARTNERS, AND WITH REGIONAL TRAFFICKING PREVENTION TASK FORCES ACROSS THE STATE. WE ALSO HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN RAISING PUBLIC AWARENESS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING, INCLUDING A FRONT-PAGE STORY IN THE BALTIMORE SUN ABOUT OUR PROJECT AND THE NEED FOR VOLUNTEER ATTORNEYS. |
