Model Approaches to Statewide Legal Assistance Systems - Phase II: With this grant opportunity, Model Approaches to Statewide Legal Assistance Systems - Phase II (Model Approaches - Phase II), the Administration for Community Living (ACL) continues and expands its support for state leadership efforts in implementing well integrated and cost effective legal service delivery systems that maximize the impact of limited legal resources targeted to older adults in greatest need.
