You are given a paragraph, with numbered sentences, and a question. Write the numbers of the sentences needed to answer the given question. Separate multiple sentence numbers with a comma (", "). E.g. "1, 2" would be the correct response if Sent 1 and Sent 2 are needed to answer the given question (do not include sentences that contain no information that is necessary to answer the question). Sort the sentence numbers in an increasing order (i.e., '1, 2', instead of '2, 1'). Your answer should not contain anything than the sentence numbers separated by a comma (e.g. '1, 2, 3, 4'). The given question requires more than one sentence to answer. So, your answer must contain at least one comma (", ").

Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: States like Minnesota and New Jersey spend three times more than California to meet the poor's legal needs, Connecticut and Massachusetts spend more than twice as much, and countries like England, Canada, Australia, Scotland and New Zealand spend anywhere from two to 14 times more proportionately than California, despite the fact that California has the world's sixth largest economy.
Sent 2: The report says the state would need to triple its combined public and private investment in legal services to adequately meet the legal needs of low-income Californians.
Sent 3: The 1996 welfare reform legisla tion, in particular, brought dramatic changes to the lives of those living in poverty, for while fewer people now receive welfare benefits, those who left welfare to work are still poor.
Sent 4: And the legal issues they face "have become more numerous and complex," the report said.
Sent 5: "Parents who found only low-paying jobs without health benefits did not improve the well-being of their children.
Sent 6: Women who entered the workforce in low-skilled positions with no opportunity to acquire marketable skills lack realistic long-term options.
Sent 7: Obstacles to employment such as lack of child care and transportation, domestic violence and job discrimination raise a host of new legal issues."Sent 8: Those issues revolve around an extensive universe of problems, including housing, education, domestic violence, immigration, employment, grandparent guardianships, bankruptcy and consumer debt, veterans' issues, elder abuse and home equity fraud, the report said.
Sent 9: To meet all those needs, there is only one legal aid lawyer for every 10,000 poor Californians.
Sent 10: Despite this bleak picture, the state's civil justice community has taken significant steps to close the gap between need and services in the past five years: The legislature and the governor established the Equal Access Fund, which has provided $10 million annually since 1999 for more than 100 local legal services programs.
Sent 11: Access to the courts has been enhanced through a variety of self-help options, including online assistance in every county, a system of family law facilitators, increased funding for alternative dispute resolution and simplified forms and procedures.
Sent 12: The Judicial Council is addressing language barriers by increasing the availability of qualified interpreters and translating forms and instructions into Spanish, Vietnam-ese, Korean and Chinese.
Sent 13: Legal services programs have been strengthened by offering a wide range of services, including self-help clinics and hotlines and working relationships with social services agencies to meet all of a client's needs.
Sent 14: Still, when more than 70 percent of the poor's legal needs are not being met, much remains to be done, the report points out.
Sent 15: It recommends adding to the access fund, increasing both the number of pro bono hours and financial contributions from attorneys, improved assistance for unrepresented litigants and access to an attorney for those who require one, and development of a statewide plan to distribute legal services more evenly throughout the state to insure that the rural population also is served.
Sent 16: "I know my fe llow judges want to do justice and not inflict injustice," observed Justice Earl Johnson of the California Court of Appeal, who chaired the committee that researched and wrote the report.
Sent 17: "More than anyone, they know it can be nearly impossible to do the former and avoid the latter in a one-sided contest where only one litigant has a lawyer."Sent 18: "Our whole society is harmed when access and fairness are denied," said Londen.
Question: Since the 1996 welfare reform legislation was enacted, have legal issues for the poor become fewer?.

Sent 4: He turned his head suddenly to the wall.

Sent 7: His muttered answers were in turn repeated to the judge.
Sent 8: "Says he's married, naturalized citizen, Lutheran Church, die- cutter by profession." The probation officer, her hands filled with papers, bustled forward and whispered.

Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: A government-sponsored coup last year made Bruce Iwasaki and Neal Dudovitz the kings of Los Angeles County's federally funded legal aid community.
Sent 2: The two men emerged atop a changed landscape that resulted from a decade of begging for a share of shrinking public dollars doled out by an unsympathetic GOP-controlled Congress.
Sent 3: That era was capped in 1998, when the Legal Services Corp. forced 275 legal aid providers nationwide to combine into 179.
Sent 4: To comply with the orders from their main funding source, a new species of poverty lawyer emerged - a tech-savvy and button-down breed who swapped neighborhood walkin offices for toll-free phone lines, self-help kiosks and Internet access to legal advice.
Sent 5: While some organizations made the dramatic change look effortless, for others, it did not come easy.
Sent 6: And few programs provide more dramatic illustrations of the promise and pitfalls of government-funded legal services than Los Angeles County's two largest providers of federally funded services - Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles and Pacoima-based Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles County.
Sent 7: From his offices in Koreatown, Iwasaki, a soft-spoken former O'Melveny & Myers attorney, quietly engineered a merger between a much smaller Legal Aid Society of Long Beach and his program, the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles.
Sent 8: The merger was completed peacefully within a year of the federal order.
Sent 9: Today, the programs operate seamlessly, offering new innovations - including toll-free multilingual phone advisers, expanded hours for domestic-violence clinics, and renewed immigration and consumer aid - built on the foundations of the old program.
Sent 10: The organization is Los Angeles' largest government-funded group, with a budget of $11 million leveraged into $40 million in legal services to the poor.
