An Indiana Legal Help kiosk at (insert organization name) means that more people can access legal information and resources, including those who don’t have reliable internet or the ability to print or scan documents at home.”)
The Indiana Legal Help Kiosk is part of an initiative which has placed 150 kiosks in communities around the state, with at least one in each of the ninety-two (92) counties. This opportunity is the result of a partnership between the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority and the Indiana Bar Foundation to increase housing stability legal services using federal funds made available through the Emergency Rental Assistance 2 Program (ERA2).
“We are grateful to the organizations around the state that are partnering with us to make this valuable resource available in their community. Through IndianaLegalHelp.org and a network of statewide partners engaged in assisting Hoosiers facing housing-related civil legal issues, the Foundation is uniquely positioned to expand services statewide and connect more Hoosiers with legal services,” said Foundation President & CEO Charles Dunlap.
The Indiana Legal Help Kiosk is now available to the public.
