FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS CONTINUEDAPPALACHIAN SCHOOL OF LAW - Medical Legal Partnership - $25,000 The Appalachian School of Law (ASL) continues their Medical-Legal Partnership with Ballad Health, an integrated healthcare system serving Southwest Virginia. This partnership maintains the goals of improving access to justice for medical patients with unmet legal needs and addressing healthcare demands attributable to or exacerbated by unmet legal needs. Under the supervision of licensed attorneys, ASL students will provide free legal services to Ballad's low-income patients, which gives the students an experiential learning opportunity. To better understand the impact of this program, Virginia Tech's Pamplin College of Business will contribute analytics to measure the program's success. BLUE RIDGE LEGAL SERVICES - Free Civil Legal Assistance for Low-Income Seniors - $25,000 Blue Ridge Legal Services is a charitable legal aid program committed to eliminating poverty-based inequities in the civil justice system by providing high-quality legal advice and representation to low-income residents of the Shenandoah and Roanoke Valleys. This project will provide free legal assistance in the form of legal information, legal advice and brief services, and direct representation to low-income seniors in the Central Shenandoah Valley, namely, the counties of Rockingham, Augusta, Page, Highland, and the cities of Harrisonburg, Staunton, and Waynesboro. The project will target seniors with critical legal needs, with a special focus on elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation cases. CANCERLINC - Access to Justice for Latino and Spanish-Speaking Cancer Patients in Central & Southside Virginia - $10,000 CancerLINC provides access to justice for low-income cancer patients who otherwise would not have attorneys, financial professionals, and others to help them address the non-medical problems they face as a result of their cancer diagnosis - medical debt, eviction, bankruptcy, employment insecurity, and similar challenges. Cancer is the leading cause of death among Hispanics and Latinos, and due to disproportionate poverty and other healthcare barriers, Hispanics are especially vulnerable to cancer inequalities. This grant will support the continued development of bilingual resources and programs to better support underserved Latino cancer patients in Central and Southside Virginia and will provide approximately 45 Latino cancer patients and family members with access to pro bono legal and financial resources these patients could not afford otherwise. CAPITAL AREA IMMIGRANTS' RIGHTS COALITION - Virginia Justice Project - $20,000 The Capital Area Immigrants' Rights Coalition (CAIR) strives to ensure equal justice for all immigrant adults and children at risk of detention and deportation in the capital region and beyond through direct legal representation, know-your-rights presentations, impact litigation, advocacy, and the enlistment and training of intern attorneys. The Virginia Justice Project ensures that public defenders and court appointed counsel in Virginia are educated regarding the immigration consequences of crimes. This greatly increases the likelihood that an indigent noncitizen in Virginia will have access to defense counsel competent to advise them about the potential adverse immigration consequences of their case. During the ninth year of this program, CAIR will train 600 Virginia criminal defense attorneys through at least two virtual trainings, produce and maintain written materials on an ongoing basis, and execute necessary trainings to support the 315 Virginia public defender attorneys in the 25 public defender offices and the 2,500 court-appointed attorneys in Virginia. This project will impact more than 3,000 indigent non-citizen Virginia residents involved in the criminal justice system. CENTRAL VIRGINIA LEGAL AID SOCIETY - Academic Medical Legal Partnership - $25,000 Central Virginia Legal Aid Society (CVLAS) provides legal representation and preventative community legal education to low income and elderly clients in civil law cases at no charge, aiding vulnerable residents with legal issues relating to consumer, domestic violence, employment, elder care, family, health, housing, and public benefits throughout Central Virginia.
