Civil Legal Aid Funding Committee

Susan Erlichman, Co-Chair, Maryland Legal Services Corporation
Catherine Bledsoe, Co-Chair, Maryland Office of the Attorney General ​​

​

The Civil Legal Aid Funding Committee is committed to obtaining sustainable funding for front-line civil legal aid providers to ensure the availability of legal services for Marylanders. The life-altering civil legal needs faced by low-income Marylanders have been significantly increased against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. The dramatic spike in legal need caused by the crisis coupled with precipitous declines in revenue for civil legal services underscores the crucial need to address this funding crisis. Through this diverse committee, we aspire to raise decision-makers' awareness of the significant revenue gap, mitigate the lost revenue, and identify new sources of funding.​​
