Purpose and Goals PURPOSE-
The Center for Arkansas Legal Services’ objective is to increase awareness of the legal needs the 2019 Arkansas Flood created and to be a resource for low-income Arkansans empowering them to improve their situation due to legal issues from the Flood. As the Center for Arkansas Legal Services begins to execute its strategy to improve access to quality legal services for flood survivors, we will expand the capacity of our staff to serve those affected by the Arkansas Flood of 2019 to meet that need, We will need to follow a series of strategic, operational, grants management, and communications steps to set the foundation to achieve our objectives and goals. These steps include the hiring of staff to address the needs of low-income Arkansans, the creation of a network of communication professionals that have dealt with disasters historically, obtaining the proper equipment and supplies to meet the needs of the flood victims, creating communication pieces to inform the target population, and by connecting with appropriate groups to help reach those in need. Through facilitated discussions, the Center for Arkansas Legal Services has agreed to a strategy with four primary goals and four objectives. As described in the 2020 Project Plan and demonstrated in the information in this piece, the four objectives all contribute to the primary goals and help reinforce each.
