Excellent article. This also demonstrates the importance of ensuring that free, legal help to assist DC residents at this type of risk is available through public and private funding of legal organizations Legal Aid DC Children's Law Center DC Bar Foundation

We are incredibly grateful to Council of DC for this support.

So grateful to @chmnmendelson @anitabondsdc CM McDuffie's Office @robertwhite_dc CM Christina Henderson @brianneknadeau Councilmember Brooke Pinto Councilmember Matt Frumin CM Janeese Lewis George Councilmember Zachary Parker CM Allen's Team Councilmember Wendell Felder DC Council Budget Office

We and Council for Court Excellence thank Councilmember Brooke Pinto and CM Allen's Team for helping us strengthen the District's probate system through some technical amendments today.

Great news about one of our Commissioners, Prof. Jessica Steinberg.

Tell Council of DC not to make $10M of ATJ funds conditional. This will devastate our legal services network in DC. Vote no on Councilmember Brooke Pinto and Councilmember Zachary Parker 's amendment. The ATJ Initiative is a LIFELINE to vulnerable DC residents.

we hope that Councilmember_RobertWhite will vote NO on this amendment. 50% of these funds support housing-related legal help that keeps people out of the District's homelessness system and safely housed.

we hope that Councilmember Wendell Felder votes NO on this amendment. more than 5,000 Ward 7 residents get help from this program that will potentially lose 1/3 of its funding.
