From page 4. Legal Services also helped them to develop a rapport with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to fund their tax services program and resource center. The Carltons run several programs and organizations, which offer a wide range of services, such as, free income tax preparation, financial literacy, and certifications in Mavis-Beacon, Microsoft Office, Notary Public, healthcare advocacy, and DCF services. They serve as advocates for the Legal Services program and educate the community on what is available to them through their program.
These anecdotes of achievement are just a small glimpse of what can be achieved through the Legal Services program. The assistance that is received is not limited to legal matters, but rather access to a myriad of services, and the empowerment of clients to make their own contributions to justice.
The Legal Services Corporation began in 1974 under the leadership of Linden B. Johnson Administration, Dr. Edgar Cahn, and his late wife, Jean Cahn. Their mission was to provide those in poverty with access to justice. Over the years, the mission has been altered and has become one that seeks to provide those in poverty with access to legal services. The War on Poverty is a war that we continue to fight, hoping that one day these issues will cease to exist. Until then, we have learned to live to fight another day.
