This session will provide updates on the efforts of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Access to Justice Initiative to identify opportunities for federal agencies to better integrate civil legal aid into federal programs and initiatives that share the mission of serving low-income populations, and on NLADA’s efforts to provide information, technical support, and advocacy around federal programs. We will highlight new federal grant opportunities and share tips on working with new partners as part of these programs.
