Similarly, a few years back, when the need for massive welfare programs to the urban poor was so obvious, Daniel P.

...those at C.R.L.A. Many local programs have limped along for four or five years with no funding increases. In Springfield, Ill., the legal-services group has had to pass up a number of legitimate suits because it could not afford them. In Seattle, an open-door policy for walk-in business has been closed down in favor of appointments as a way to cut the number of clients...
