The Legal Services Corp. awarded a $383,270 pro bono innovation fund grant to Legal Services of Greater Miami Inc. to expand its efforts to serve more low-income clients.

Legal Services of Greater Miami plans to use the grant to recruit more pro bono attorneys and volunteers, enhance its case management system and develop client-centered intake and referral processes with Dade County Bar Association Legal Aid’s Put Something Back Pro Bono Project. A pilot eviction defense project also is planned in Miami-Dade Circuit Court.

Members of the Florida congressional delegation applauded the grant awards funded by Congress.
