through Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and private health insurance coverage.
2) Assisting families on public assistance, formerly on public assistance, or in danger of needing public

quality childcare, higher education, training, transportation, treatment of substance abuse, Food
Stamps, Medicaid, affordable housing, and other supportive services.
3) Improving health care and income support for veterans, individuals with disabilities, and seniors, with a
focus on issues involving Social Security, SSI, Medicaid, Medicare, VA benefits, and on improving mental
health services, care in nursing and rest homes, access to community-based care, services to the HIV-
positive population, and managed care.
4) Working closely with Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy’s Immigrant Justice Project to address the
above issues as they impact the immigrant population in this region, including addressing language
barriers and other barriers which particularly limit access of immigrants, non-English speaking citizens,
and their children to public services and health care.
Program representation is designed both to obtain specific relief for the individuals and families who contact
the program for assistance, and also to utilize systemic advocacy strategies to change the rules, procedures,
and practices of federal and state agencies to ensure access to health care and public services for all affected
persons. Measured outcomes will show the number of persons assisted and the dollar value of benefits or
services obtained.
