Overview

Mission

Providing legal services to low income residents of anoka county in critical civil cases.

What it reported doing in 2020

In 2020, despite the limitations caused by the covid-19 pandemic, the program provided legal assistance to 688 clients. All of these cases involved basic needs such as prevention of homelessness, prevention of domestic abuse and the enforcement of legal rights of disabled clients.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 88% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
