VIP’s essential work is to recruit, train, and support the hundreds of volunteer attorneys who represent low-income individuals, families, businesses, and nonprofits without charge.

	*Through its volunteers and staff, VIP serves more ~~than 3,500 individuals~~ and ~~families yearly who could not otherwise afford attorneys and whose cases could or would not be handled by other public interest organizations~~.
	*Our clients are among the poorest in the City and ~~region~~. ~~To be eligible for our services, a client’s income must be at or below 200~~% of the ~~federal poverty guidelines. Consequently~~, ~~our most financially secure single~~ clients ~~still earn less than $23~~,~~000~~, ~~while a family of four lives on less than $48~~,~~000~~.		We have a full-time staff of twenty organized into two teams: Legal and Operations/External Relations. 75% of VIP staff are members of the Legal Team, reflecting an organizational focus on supporting clients and volunteers.
	*VIP ~~serves~~ a ~~multi~~-~~lingual population~~, ~~principally Spanish speaking. However~~, ~~increasingly we see clients who speak Russian~~, ~~Creole~~, ~~Chinese~~, ~~Vietnamese and Cambodian~~, ~~reflecting of growing~~ and ~~changing immigration patterns in~~ the ~~Greater Philadelphia area~~.
	*VIP handles any civil matter that is non-fee generating and for which there is no right to counsel.		Our Board of Directors, which is comprised of dedicated, mission-focused volunteers and seven ex officio members, provides strategic and financial oversight for the organization.
	*The ~~majority of VIP’s cases are referred to us~~ from ~~our sister organizations, Community Legal Services and Philadelphia Legal Assistance~~. ~~Cases also come from specialized legal services organizations throughout Philadelphia~~.
	*In stark terms, VIP is the agency of last resort for many low-~~income individuals and families who face critical legal problems that affect their basic needs~~.		VIP also has a robust intern program, with between 4-8 interns, including law students, college students, and, occasionally, high school students, engaged during the school year and over the summer.
