The Legal Services Corporation is requesting $485.1 million from Congress for its fiscal year 2010 budget, an increase of $95.1 million over current funding levels.

The vast majority of LSC’s fiscal 2010 request—$460 million—would be distributed as grants to 137 civil legal aid programs across the country. An additional $3.4 million would fund the successful Technology Initiative Grants program and $1 million would provide loan repayment assistance to attorneys at LSC-funded programs. The remainder would fund LSC management and grants oversight, at $17.2 million, and the Office of Inspector General.
