Access Pro Bono has been approved for a grant of $28,000 from the Victoria Foundation to promote accessible legal services for Victoria residents. APB sought this funding in order to sustain and expand its services to low income residents of Victoria dealing with legal issues that are jeopardizing their housing stability, employment, and overall well-being. This grant will be used to strengthen APB staff and volunteer coordination, by funding intake coordinator and staff lawyer positions for staff who are serving Victoria residents. It will also help us to improve administrative infrastructure, allowing APB to leverage new technology to update our clinic management system. These updates will enhance client support in Victoria through effective triaging and lawyer referrals based on expertise and urgency. 

Access Pro Bono thanks the Victoria Foundation for its ongoing support of our efforts to reduce systemic barriers to access to justice in Victoria.
