Southeast Louisiana Legal Services 2017 Annual Report
Economic Impact in 2017
It is difficult to place a dollar amount on the value of community benefits and societal cost savings produced
by civil legal services. The direct economic impact of SLLS’ 2017 work to our clients exceeded $23
million. This represents income secured, assets or benefits protected, such as the value of homes saved
from foreclosure, consumer debt relief, health coverage obtained, housing subsidies preserved, financial
support for hard-working families, and much more. No price tag can be placed on the value of lives saved
through our Domestic Violence and Child in Need of Care work.
