The mission of the Office of Civil Legal Aid is to secure, invest and oversee the use of public funding for civil legal aid to low\-income people in Washington State and to ensure accountability for public funds dedicated to the purpose. Since its founding in 2005, OCLA was established as an agency with the principal responsibility to underwrite a general civil legal aid system in Washington. OCLA has grown and changed in recent years. Recognizing OCLA’s essential contributions, and the compelling need for these services, the legislature has expanded OCLA’s mandate to support legal aid to victims of crime and domestic violence, children in foster care, kinship caregivers, indigent tenants facing eviction, Medicaid recipients being discharged from long\-term care settings, and individuals reentering society following completion of their terms of incarceration.
