In the midst of tough economic times, more people than ever are calling Pisgah Legal Services for help.

Kneece Family - foreclosure 2008

Demand for PLS' services increased 17% in the last year.

We are responding:

  • Assisting domestic violence victims who are have fewer options to escape abuse because of the recession;
  • Preventing homelessness for hundreds of families who are struggling to make ends meet; and
  • Helping people secure unemployment benefits, food stamps and other resources to survive as they look for the next job opportunity.

In 2009, PLS helped more than 10,122 people with urgent needs -- food, shelter and protection.
