INTER - OFFICE MEMO
TO: MEMBERS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL
FROM: CARL ELLISON e"X M,Q,
SUBJECT: LEGAL AID APPROPRIATION PROGRAM CD -76 -702
DATE: SEPTEMBER 22, 1976
In developing the 2nd Year Community Development Plan, the adminis-
tration determined that the provision of a comprehensive system of legal services
tailored to address the problems experienced by low income residents in Community
Development "target areas" was both necessary and appropriate to support other
Community Development activities in those areas.
Consequently, the Community Development Program hereby submits for
your consideration an ordinance to appropriate $17,500 to provide the following
services for low income residents of the aforementioned areas:
a. Legal Representation for low income persons who
cannot otherwise afford such services.
b. Community Education in areas such as consumer
rights, landlord -tenant relationships, and home
ownership problems.
c. outreach Activities to reach primarily senior
citizens who might either not be aware of
services available to them or are reluctant to
avail themselves of such services.
d. Group Representation for neighborhood groups
desiring technical assistance with respect to
organizational matters, federal guidelines and
regulations, state and local laws, etc.
The Community Development Program anticipates that senior citizens
will be the primary beneficiaries of all proposed activities.
The Legal Aid Society proposes to undertake and accomplish these
activities with the following line item budget:
