The EJC’s legislative funding campaign for FY13 is working to increase the Massachusetts Legal Assistance Corporation (MLAC) line item (0321-1600) by $5 million - from $9.5 million to $14.5 million. After securing level funding of $9.5 million in FY11 and FY12, an increase is to prevent further cuts to civil legal aid programs, which have been struggling to meet increased demand.
On January 25, the Governor recommended increased funding of $12 million for the MLAC line item in his FY13 budget.
