People’s Law School and Legal Aid BC have announced a new partnership concerning legal information publications (aka freebie booklets). Effective immediately, People’s Law School will be taking over publishing information on welfare benefits, mortgage default, and sponsorship breakdown. Specific titles include:
- How to Apply for Welfare
- Welfare Benefits
- When You’re on Welfare
- Sponsorship Breakdown
- Can’t Pay Your Mortgage?
The publications above will be available from People’s Law School later this year. For now, these publications can still be accessed through the Legal Aid website.
Before launching their publications, People’s Law School wants to hear from you! Feedback from library workers and community helpers will allow them to learn more about how the public uses these resources and ultimately make them more accessible and user-friendly going forward. You can contribute feedback about these titles through their survey.
