About Us
Our Mission
The mission of Legal Services of Northern California is to provide quality
legal services to empower the poor to identify and defeat the causes and
effects of poverty within our community, efficiently utilizing all available
resources.

Our Work

For more than 63 years, Legal Services of Northern California (LSNC)


has been fighting for the civil rights of our clients. LSNC is the strong
voice that continues to speak out on behalf of low income people in
our communities, even as the state and local “safety nets” for the poor
continue to crumble.

Most of the local offices that make up LSNC began as offshoots of a


volunteer program or a special grant project. The oldest program began
in Sacramento County in 1956. For a many years the Sacramento,
Auburn, Woodland, Solano, Chico, Redding, and Eureka/Ukiah offices
were independent organizations created solely to benefit the low-
income residents in their particular communities. Today, all these
disparate legal aid programs are integrated into a single organization. As
part of a unified organization, each field office is stronger and together
they serve low-income families, individuals, and seniors in 23 northern
California counties.

Helping Tenants
After the California Legislature passed the Tenant Protection
Act of 2019 in September 2019, one of LSNC’s field offices was
contacted by a group of tenants who were being evicted from
their long time homes. All of the tenants were people with
disabilities or had a family member with disabilities, and some
had lived in their homes for nearly 20 years. Two of the tenants
were single moms, and some were seniors. They rented from
the same management company and received notices telling
them they must move out by December 31, 2019. The notices
did not allege our clients violated their leases in any way and
appeared designed to force the tenants out of their homes
before January 1, 2020 when each of the families would have just cause protection against eviction
due to the new Tenant Protection Act. LSNC attorneys represented the group and were able to
negotiate a rescission of all of the notices. As a result, each of these tenants remain in their long
time homes and now have just cause protections against eviction for the first time.

Helping Joshua*
Joshua contacted LSNC for assistance because he was about
to be turned over to collections for a medical bill for his infant
son, who was enrolled in Medi-Cal with Anthem Blue Cross. The
baby had gotten suddenly very ill while the family was out of
town in southern California, forcing them to take the baby to the
emergency room. Though the emergency room visit was fully
covered, the family continued to receive bills from the pathology
group that had run tests during the ER visit. The family had
contacted the pathology group to explain that the baby was on
Medi-Cal and had also filed a grievance with their Medi-Cal health
plan. However, the pathology group continued to bill the family
and threatened to send them to collections, causing a lot of stress and anxiety. LSNC assisted the
family by contacting the pathology group directly and following up with a formal letter outlining the
group’s illegal collection practices. The pathology group immediately pulled the bill from collections
and set the family’s amount owed balance to zero.

Helping Carly*
We helped Carly* challenge her denial of Unemployment
Insurance based on misconduct. The store Carly worked for
alleged that she broke a company rule by buying an item on sale
from the store because a family member bought an item from
the store on sale for their use. Carly had not been told about
a recent rule change regarding family members buying items
from the store on sale. LSNC represented Carly in a hearing,
and the judge ruled that a family member buying something
for themselves did not violate the rule, and in any event Carly
did not commit misconduct because she was not told about the
rule.
