At the Capitol

Championing the rights of lowest-income and marginalized Minnesotans is our team of Legal Aid attorneys dedicated to the Legal Services Advocacy Project (LSAP).

LSAP policy work: 

• Focuses on housing rights, economic security, food justice, family stability, consumer protection and health issues.
• Is supported by all regional civil legal services programs in Minnesota.

LSAP advocacy means:

• Protection and expansion of access to public programs
• Better access to health care
• Protection for older and vulnerable adults in assisted living
• Access to universal free school meals for children
• Increased protection for victims of violence and abuse
• Improved access to hunger resources
• Increased rights for homeowners in foreclosure
• Improved tenants’ rights
• Improved program access and services for Minnesotans with disabilities
• Stronger protections against predatory lending and consumer scams
• Banned school suspensions and seclusion for K-3 students
• Stronger utility consumer protections
• Increased training and employment opportunities
