CLS staff members were delighted to attend the annual Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network conference in Harrisburg last week! The conference gave us a chance to develop skills and share strategies with organizations fighting for justice across the state. CLS staff presented on a range of topics, from helping homeowners avoid foreclosure to ensuring people can maintain utility service in their homes to supporting people with disabilities.
