About this organization
Mission
North Penn Legal Services strives to solve civil legal problems and empower vulnerable populations through professional legal representation, advocacy, and education.
About
North Penn Legal Services is part of the community solution that provides essential services for low-income people. Requests for our free civil legal services during the last year resulted in handling more than 9,800 cases. In 20 counties, over 325,000 people are eligible for the services of North Penn Legal Services. We provided civil legal aid to 2,153 of those people through court and administrative hearings, enhancing clients' economic security by obtaining awards of just over $3.5 million primarily in disability cases and providing access to public benefits. In an attempt to reach eligible applicants we were otherwise unable to serve, we developed self-help materials, distributed 4,197 informational pamphlets and conducted outreach events to 2,250 people.
