We are obviously overcrowded. The new building lends itself to growth and increased efficiencies with more space for operations, records, recruiting and training. Certainly it will strengthen Legal Aid of the Bluegrass and

Our assistance in a crisis makes a permanent, positive difference for many of the families and individuals we serve. Still there is much more that we can do beginning with our main office in Covington. Our plans for the future include a new headquarters that will be better suited for our clients, volunteers, attorneys and support staff. It will allow us to increase accessibility, expand client intake and enlarge our capacity.
Poverty and no access to justice continue to be the root causes of the civil legal problems facing the poor. We can dramatically impact both by providing high quality legal services to low income people who will benefit greatly because of that service. To accomplish this efficiently, we need the most appropriate facility in which to work. A new building is absolutely essential, and the 640 Scott St. building is ideal.
Our 150-year-old Covington building (302 Greenup St.) presents numerous challenges that we cannot solve by renovation. The building is too small for our growing operations, and what space we have is often not very useable. Three stories high with only steep treacherous stairs connecting floors, much of the building is unreachable to the public. Client conference areas are small and hard to access, and the size and numbers of offices are woefully in adequate.
As you come to understand the challenges we face and the opportunities provided by a new location, we hope you will give heartfelt consideration to the personal impact you can have upon the poor and vulnerable in our community with your support of the Campaign for the Legal Aid of the Bluegrass. Together we can open doors of hope to a better life for thousands of poor people who have a right to justice. You hold the key to a better future where justice is served. We invite you to open the door.
