CIVIL LEGAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT

In FY 2019-’20, the New Hampshire Bar Foundation provided $20,000 to support a civil legal needs assessment. The needs assessment is an exam- ination of the kinds of legal needs experienced by low-income people, older (age 60+) people, and people with disabilities. It also assesses their expe- riences seeking out legal services. The project is a partnership between the New Hampshire Access to Justice Commission and the state’s legal services programs: New Hampshire Legal Assistance, the Pro Bono Referral Program, the Legal Advice and Referral Center, and the Disability Rights Center-New Hampshire. It has also received generous funding from the New Hampshire Supreme Court and the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation.

The project undertook a multi-faceted approach to data collection. Its methodology included a telephone survey conducted by Suffolk Univer- sity, focus groups conducted by the University of New Hampshire, online surveys, and research donated by the University of New Hampshire Frank- lin Pierce School of Law.

Throughout the data collection phase, the needs assessment project team heavily emphasized seeking input directly from low-income people, older people, and peoplewith disabilities. This community-focused approach helps ensure that the needs of potential clients are identified and reported back as the clients themselves experience them.

Results of the needs assessment will help New Hampshire’s legal services programs learn about new and emerging issues, prioritize their limited resources, and refine their services. Periodic needs assessments are an essential tool for legal services programs to remain accountable and responsive to the communities they serve.

Results of the needs assessment will be published later this year and wide- ly distributed. This project could not have moved forward without the partnership and collaboration of multiple legal services programs and multiple funders. The New Hampshire Bar Foundation has been a strong advocate for this project as well as a major funder, and we are so grateful to have its support!

- Sarah Mattson Dustin NOW IS THE TIME FOR NEW BEGINNINGS

The IOLTA grant funding that Disability Rights Center – NH (DRC-NH) receives each year helps us provide individual legal assistance to more people with disabilities across New Hampshire with disability-related legal issues (like accessibility, special education, discrimination and access to services in the community) than we would be able to assist without this help.

With this funding, we can help people like Sandra, a person with significant physical disabilities. As her health declined, walking became increasingly difficult. Recently, she began to use her walker and wheelchair more and more – they helped her to move around her home, go to the grocery store and doctor’s office, and visit with her friends. However, she had to go up several steps to access her apartment building. The entrance was danger- ous to navigate with her walker and entirely inaccessible while using her wheelchair. She contacted her landlord to request that they install a ramp at the entrance of the building, so that she could continue to live in the apartment she loved. The landlord refused and began ignoring her calls. Frustrated, Sandra called DRC-NH for help. The DRC-NH attorney contacted the landlord on Sandra’s behalf, explaining that the landlord was legally obligated to install a ramp since they received federal funds. Finally, the landlord agreed. Now, Sandra can once again safely leave her apartment building and do all the things she loves to do out in her community.

ADVANCEMENT OF JUSTICE FUNDING With the help of the NH Bar Foundation Advancement of Justice Fund, DRC-NH is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabil- ities Act (ADA). The ADA, passed in 1990, is a landmark federal law pro- tecting the civil rights of people with disabilities in employment, public accommodations, government, and telecommunications.

DRC-NH is holding four events celebrating the legacy and future of the ADA. With the support of the Advancement of Justice Fund, these events are fully accessible to all people with disabilities with interpreters and CART (Communication Access Real Time Translation) reporting. The first event, “Disability and the Media”, had more than 500 participants for the live streaming and hundreds more have viewed the archived recording. Future topics include “Accessible Communities”, “Alternatives to Guardian- ship”, and “Mental Health and the Law.” - Stephanie Patrick “The IOLTA grant funding we receive helps us provide legal assistance to people with disability-related legal issues.” - Stephanie Patrick, Executive Director, Disability Rights Center – NH

nhbar.org (603) 224-6942 The New Hampshire Bar Foundation promotes the role of lawyers in se- curing equal access to justice and supports the charitable and education- al aims of the New Hampshire Bar and its members. The Bar Foundation carries out its mission by reliably administering the Supreme Court Rule 50 “Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts” program, responsibly managing the Foundation’s Justice Grants program, and encouraging thoughtful philanthropy by members of the profession.

KEY ISSUES The Bar Foundation’s justice-related philanthropy addresses core issues involved in providing meaningful access to justice, including:

Protection of Legal Rights: Legal advice and representation for disad- vantaged residents struggling to overcome poverty, abuse, and discrimination.

Education: Civic and constitutional education for students; training programs for attorneys offering pro bono (free) civil legal services; public seminars on fair housing laws and other protections for the elderly, the homeless, low-income populations, and social service agency staff; and multilingual programs for immigrants and refugees regarding their rights and responsibilities.

Emerging Needs: The Bar Foundation facilitates the identification of justice-related issues regarding emerging civil legal needs in our state, paying close attention to changing demographics, the economy, and the legal struggles facing different population groups. The Bar Foundation is involved in evaluating and identifying new approaches in the delivery of civil legal aid and education to help ensure New Hampshire residents will have access to critical legal services.

Resource Development and Management: The Bar Foundation initiates and builds relationships with the legal community and banks supporting the IOLTA Grants Program; promotes contributions to the Bar Foundation’s endowed Justice Funds in support of Justice Grants; pro- vides planned giving opportunities for donors; encourages organizational development and coordination among legal aid agencies; and communi- cates funding needs to donors and others committed to ensuring meaningful access to the justice system for all New Hampshire residents.
