Funding increases legal services in Lower Bucks County
(May 2022)
HATBORO - Legal Aid of Southeastern PA thanks Hatboro Federal Savings for its generous support through the Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP), a tax credit program to encourage businesses to invest in projects which improve distressed areas. Program awards were announced Nov. 9, 2021, and a ceremonial check was presented at Hatboro Federal Savings March 18, 2022.
The partnership, now in its third year, will provide LASP with $100,000 to increase legal services in the economically struggling areas of Bristol borough, Levittown and nearby communities (zip codes 19007, 19020, 19021, 19056 and 19057). About 35% of Bucks County’s low-income people live in this area, and about 51,000 are eligible for LASP services. The funding has helped LASP serve 1,269 residents in the targeted Lower Bucks communities in 2020-21, a 27% increase over the prior year. The Dept. of Community and Economic Development (DCED) administers NAP.
“Hatboro Federal Savings has a strong and active commitment to the local Bucks and Montgomery communities," said Linda R. Roehner, President and CEO of Hatboro Federal Savings. "We are so excited to contribute for a third year through the Neighborhood Assistance Project to Legal Aid of Southeastern PA."
