Safety and stability at home: guardianship and dependency. Clients served. We believe all children deserve safe and stable homes where they have access to education and health opportunities.

During fiscal year 2023-2024, lsc represented children and youth in 122 guardianship cases, 87 children in foster care, and 3 clients seeking emancipation.
Access to education: educational advocacyclients served.
