Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3
OUR PRIMARY PROGRAM SERVICE IS TO PROVIDE QUALITY, AFFORDABLE LEGAL SERVICES TO QUALIFYING INDIVIDUALS. IN 2023 WE WERE A RESOURCE FOR OVER 200 PEOPLE, AND PROVIDED DIRECT SERVICES TO OVER 75 OF THOSE PEOPLE. WITHOUT OUR ASSISTANCE, THE MAJORITY OF OUR CLIENTS WOULD LIKELY HAVE TO REPRESENT THEMSELVES, NAVIGATING AN INCREDIBLY CONFUSING LEGAL SYSTEM ON THEIR OWN. OUR AVERAGE HOURLY RATE WAS 37% OF THE TYPICAL MARKET RATE ($130 COMPARED TO OVER $350). WE PROVIDED OVER 96 HOURS OF PRO BONO (FREE) SERVICE TO CLIENTS - THE EQUIVALENT OF $33,845 AT MARKET RATE. WE ARE SUSTAINED BY DONATIONS, AND IN 2023 WE RAISED OVER $7,000. THESE CONTRIBUTIONS ENABLED US TO CHARGE CLIENTS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED HOURLY RATES. IN 2020, IN RESPONSE TO THE INCREASED NEED FOR CIVIL LEGAL AID, WE PARTNERED WITH A LOCAL NONPROFIT WITH A SIMILAR MISSION, EASTSIDE LEGAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (ELAP), AS PART OF THEIR LOW BONO PROGRAM. WE CONTINUED AS PART OF THIS PROGRAM INTO 2023. ELAP SCREENED IN-NEED FOLKS, PARTNERED THEM WITH ATTORNEYS, AND, USING CARES FUNDING, PAID A REDUCED HOURLY RATE ($100-$150) TO PARTICIPATING ATTORNEYS. IN 2023, WE PROVIDED OVER 500 HOURS OF LEGAL SERVICES TO 30 CLIENTS, AT NO CHARGE TO THEM.
