Legal Services Corporation website LSC Receives $9.5 Million Boost Congress approved the first funding increase for the Legal Services Corporation in three years on Feb. 13 when it approved a $9.5 million boost to assist 26 states facing painful budget cutbacks as a result of 2000 U.S. Census data on shifting state poverty populations. The additional funding for legal aid was included as part of Congress’ $397.4 billion omnibus spending bill and brings LSC’s total FY03 appropriation to $338.8 million. The increase means that states, such as Michigan, Ohio, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Illinois, slated to incur budget cutbacks will recover half of those losses stemming from census reallocations.
