Company History
SALA became incorporated in 1951 and has a long established reputation for advocating on behalf of low and moderate-income individuals and families in all jurisdictions and before administrative judicial venues. SALA provides services in 9 counties and 11 native American reservations in Arizona.
"Legal Aid" was first provided in Pima County in 1951 by the Legal Aid Society of the Pima County Bar Association. Spouses of local attorneys interviewed applicants for assistance and cases were handled by the attorneys on a volunteer basis.
In 1968, the program first received federal funding from the Legal Services Office of the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO). In 1974, following passage of the Legal Services Corporation Act, SALA received its first LSC grant for Pima County.
