The economy has improved but poverty
in Franklin County is not on the decline.
Since 2009 our economy has been slowly improving. However, as the unemployment rate has decreased and wages have gotten better for some, the number of people in poverty in Franklin County has not similarly decreased. The population that was most damaged by the recession has not been able to catch up. That is why The Legal Aid Society of Columbus needs your contribution to continue serving this vulnerable population.
Your contribution will help:
- Protect survivors and their children from domestic violence
- Protect against sexual assault and trafficking
- Prevent homelessness, illegal evictions, and stop foreclosure rescue scams
- Protect Fair Housing rights
- Ensure that families can put food on the table
- Help people access essential health services
