These include (a) a general statewide civil legal aid program, (b) a program providing appointed counsel for children and youth in the child welfare system, (c) a program providing civil legal assistance to victims of crime, (d) programs providing civil legal help to persons adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and (e) a number of smaller niche programs.
