LSNF Looks To Outside Funding

lsnf.org

Leslie Powell-Boudreaux is taking over as the new Executive Director of Legal Services of North Florida. LSNF is a non-profit organization which provides no-cost civil legal services to low income citizens throughout the Panhandle.  During the recent budget process, the organization secured last minute funding from the City of Tallahassee, but commissions warned those funds may not be available next year. Powell-Boudreaux says that there are other forms of income for non-profits like LSNF.

"So we always knew it was going to be short term funding," Powell-Boudreaux said. "And [we] have been looking for alternatives and other ways to fill that gap so that we don’t have to rely on the city."

Prior to receiving money from the city, LSNF relied on Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts until the interest rates dropped.
