National Legal Services Corporation

The National Legal Services Corporation (NLSC) is a U.S. government-funded organization that provides legal assistance to people who cannot afford it. Established in 1974, its mission is to ensure equal access to justice for low-income individuals by funding legal aid programs across the country. NLSC supports a network of local legal service providers that offer free or low-cost legal help in civil matters, such as housing, family law, and public benefits. By doing so, it aims to protect the legal rights of those in need and improve the overall justice system.
