“The organizations that LSC funds do vital work in promoting access to justice across the United States, yet the value of their services extend far beyond individual clients and families. When someone avoids a foreclosure, escapes domestic violence or recovers the wages they have earned, the economic impact ripples outward, creating more economically healthy communities where low-income people can stay housed, pay their bills, and avoid emergency services." - LSC President Ron Flagg

"Legal services help the people who need it most." "When Americans face legal problems that impact their families' safety, housing or financial security, but they cannot afford an attorney, their local legal aid office is a vital resource" - LSA President Ron Flagg

Are you an elderly resident of Kern County in need of legal services? GBLA offers Walk-In Wednesdays for Seniors every Wednesday. No appointment needed. Located at 615 California Ave, Bakersfield, CA 93304

May is —a reminder that aging with dignity shouldn’t depend on your income.

Our Justice Gap Study found that low-income seniors did not receive any or enough legal help for 91% of their civil legal problems in the past year.

Civil legal services help ensure older Americans are supported and able to live safely and independently. Learn more: http://justicegap.lsc.gov/resource/seniors
