@AndreaSCousins @LizKrueger @LuisSepulvedaNY @CharlesDLavine @JGPretlow We urge @GovKathyHochul and the Legislature to ensure full IOLA funding is included in the final enacted budget. New Yorkers facing legal crises deserve nothing less.

[Catholic Migration Services @CMSBQ]

We’re grateful to the Legislature for restoring full funding for the IOLA Fund in their one-house budget proposals. Civil legal services help New Yorkers facing eviction, domestic violence, immigration challenges and more access justice when they need it most. 🧵

[Catholic Migration Services @CMSBQ]

@AndreaSCousins @LizKrueger @LuisSepulvedaNY @CharlesDLavine @JGPretlow IOLA funding does not come from taxpayer dollars. It comes from interest earned on attorney escrow accounts and is dedicated by law to supporting civil legal services for low-income New Yorkers.

[Catholic Migration Services @CMSBQ]

This is NOT taxpayer money.

IOLA funds come from interest on attorney escrow accounts and are held by statute solely to support civil legal services for low-income New Yorkers.

🚨 New York must restore full IOLA funding in the final budget.

@GovKathyHochul’s 30-day amendments did NOT provide the full $102.5M requested for the IOLA Fund – putting civil legal services at risk.

IOLA funds civil legal services that help New Yorkers stay housed, access benefits, and protect their families.
The Governor’s budget comes up nearly 25% short on IOLA funding, triggering cuts to legal services for low-income New Yorkers. This can still be fixed. @GovKathyHochul

1 - Civil legal services help New Yorkers stay housed, access benefits, and protect their families. @GovKathyHochul Executive Budget leaves IOLA nearly $25M short — threatening jobs, services, and stability statewide.
