But, this is really a new program, because it is not grant money like the previous programs.

I see the source link is not connecting to this story. Maybe this link will work: Click HERE.

Sorry, summer, I realize it's a new program, but it sounds like it is formalizing the Legal Aid society programs already in operation (& extending them to places that didn't already have them). I worked at a Legal Aid Society. I'm just telling you how they have worked, and how it sounds like they will continue to work. Just like before, some veterans and some old folks on social security will qualify, and that's fine, those productive members of society deserve it. But, beyond that, it will help those on welfare. Those who work for a living will NOT qualify. It's just like the rest of the court system. Deadbeat defendants can file anything they want for free. Responsible members of society have to pay to file, and -- for example -- last time I looked, it was $250 to file an appeal.
