| Description | NLSA handled a total of 14,640 cases during the 09-10 fiscal year of which 1,413 were handled by pro bono attorneys. The case numbers represent a 9.9% increase in cases from last fiscal year. Approximately 14.54% of the total cases involved consumer issues, 39.4% involved family issues (58% of these were PFAs), 26.1% involved housing issues, 6% involved income maintenance issues (SSI, food stamps, TANF), 8.3% involved employment (including unemployment), and the remaining 5.66% involved such issues as health, juvenile guardianship and individual rights. Of the cases handled, 84% were for individuals between the ages of 18 and 59, 14.3% for individuals age 60 and over and 1.7% for those under the age of 18. Most of these individuals were females (73.8%). Sixty-two percent (62%) of the clients were white, 36% were black and 2% of the clients were other ethnic groups such as Asian, Hispanic, Russian and Native American. We closed 12,156 cases. Of the cases closed, 63.5% were resolved with advice and limited assistance; 28.9% were negotiated settlement or litigation, 7.4% with extended services and the other .2% closed as other. NLSA obtained a total of $1,081,395.00 in back awards/settlements for clients along with $198,931.00 in total monthly benefit payments to which they were entitled. NLSA continued implementation of several collaborative projects based on "models that work" - successful projects operated by other legal aid programs and innovative projects that themselves can serve as "models that work" for other programs statewide and beyond. Each of these models relate to our program priorities which, in the broadest terms, are: securing and preserving safe, decent, affordable house for low-income people; protecting the safety, health and independence of low-income individuals and the stability of low-income families; providing economic stability for low-income children, families and individuals; and developing, financing and launching new collaborative initiatives that have a legal aid component and address critical, high-priority needs of low-income residents of southwestern Pennsylvania. | Description |
