The Corporation for National & Community Service announced that Equal Justice Works will receive a $1.2 million Recovery Act grant to support an additional 30 attorneys and more than 300 law students to expand legal services to victims of the economic crisis, such as those affected by mortgage foreclosures, natural disasters and other critical need areas.
CNCS is providing these grants in an effort to help those distressed by the economic crisis – especially those with critical needs in communities hardest hit by the recession. The grant expands both the AmeriCorps Legal Fellowship program and the Summer Corps program and makes Equal Justice Works the first active recipient of stimulus funds.
