Recognizing the 50th anniversary of the Legal Services Corporation.

This resolution (HRES 1390) formally recognizes the 50th anniversary of the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), established by the 1974 Legal Services Corporation Act. It highlights the LSC's role in funding 130 legal aid organizations that provide free civil legal assistance to low-income individuals - those with incomes at or below 125% of the federal poverty level - serving every U.S. county and territory. The resolution notes that LSC grantees have assisted an estimated 76 million low-income Americans over 50 years, including 1.9 million in 2023, while emphasizing the ongoing "justice gap" where 92% of significant civil legal needs go unmet. As a ceremonial resolution, it does not create new law but reaffirms access to justice as a core value and calls for continued LSC funding.
