Serving those in need

To be eligible for SMRLS’ services, a client’s gross annual income must fall at or below 125% of Federal Poverty Guidelines. By current standards this equates to $14,713/yr for a single person home and $30,313/yr for a family of four. We serve those in our society that are most vulnerable and needing of assistance.

Over one half million Minnesotans live in poverty. Because of limited resources, SMRLS is currently able to fully serve only 40% of the individuals who contact the firm for help.
