# Atlas Commons research objects — DNA-Peoples Legal Services, Inc. (LSC legal-aid grantee)

DNA-Peoples Legal Services, Inc.'s LSC free civil-legal-aid funding record, with each figure's status labeled: the organization, service areas/types, grant allocation, and poverty population served are LSC/Census records; funding-per-person-in-poverty is an in-house ratio; the boundary note routes to the LSC locator (this listing has no direct contact) and states it is not legal advice or a per-address locator.

## Claims

### DNA-Peoples Legal Services, Inc. is an LSC-funded free civil legal-aid provider (Basic Field, Native American; AZ, NM)

**RECORDED.** DNA-Peoples Legal Services, Inc. receives Legal Services Corporation (LSC) Basic Field grant funding to provide FREE civil legal aid. It is funded to serve Basic Field, Native American clients across 4 LSC service area(s) in AZ, NM. A record of LSC's grant allocation, not a measure of cases handled.

Falsifier: A RECORD of measured/reported events (occurred=true) from Legal Services Corporation (LSC) Basic Field Grant allocations; superseded when Legal Services Corporation (LSC) Basic Field Grant allocations publishes its next release.

### DNA-Peoples Legal Services, Inc. received $4,864,386 in LSC grants to serve 75,547 people in poverty

**RECORDED.** Across its LSC service areas, DNA-Peoples Legal Services, Inc. was allocated $4,864,386 and is funded against a service-area poverty population of 75,547. Both are LSC/Census records.

Falsifier: A RECORD of measured/reported events (occurred=true) from Legal Services Corporation (LSC) Basic Field Grant allocations; superseded when Legal Services Corporation (LSC) Basic Field Grant allocations publishes its next release.

### DNA-Peoples Legal Services, Inc.'s LSC funding is ≈ $64 per person in poverty in its service area

**DERIVED.** Dividing the total LSC allocation ($4,864,386) by the service-area poverty population (75,547) gives ≈ $64 per person in poverty. This ratio is an in-house calculation (neither LSC nor Census publishes it) — a rough capacity signal, not a measure of service quality or of an individual's odds of being helped. SCOPE: the poverty denominator is SUMMED across this grantee's 4 LSC grant areas (a Migrant or Native-American program's population can also fall within its Basic-Field geography), so for multi-area grantees it may double-count — the true per-person figure is likely somewhat HIGHER than shown.

Source: Justice Atlas — derived ratio (LSC allocation ÷ service-area poverty population) — https://www.lsc.gov/about-lsc/what-legal-aid/get-legal-help
Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a calculation, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (a transparent in-house formula, not an authority's verdict — no external adjudicator). Reproduce it from its named inputs; falsified if the formula or inputs are wrong. Lower warrant than the adjudged figures above.

### What this legal-aid listing is — and is NOT — and how to actually get help

**INTERPRETATION.** This is a directory entry for an LSC-funded free civil-legal-aid GRANTEE — who it is funded to serve and its grant capacity. It is NOT legal advice, NOT a guarantee of representation (eligibility depends on income and case type), and NOT a per-address locator (the LSC service areas are grant codes, not counties). This listing has no direct phone or website. To actually reach DNA-Peoples Legal Services, Inc. or find the right provider for your situation, use the LSC "Find Legal Help" locator: https://www.lsc.gov/about-lsc/what-legal-aid/get-legal-help

Source: Justice Atlas framing (over the LSC grant record above) — https://www.lsc.gov/about-lsc/what-legal-aid/get-legal-help
Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a framing, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (the atlas's reading, not an LSC verdict) — the LOWEST-warrant claim here. The grant facts above are LSC/Census records (recorded) and the funding ratio is an in-house computation (derived); the four-status labels each, and this is the only interpretation.
