EVICTION ASSISTANCE:
“It's going to either be in the courthouse or in their local library, and that's where low-income people seek help,” said Scott Wylie, an attorney with Pro Bono Indiana. “It's touch screen; it's intuitive. They can look up all of the resources that are available and provide legal assistance in their eviction action and other related housing stability issues. They can directly connect to a legal navigator who is trained to be able to provide them guidance.”

If you need legal help, would you know where to turn? There is a program that is using technology to even the playing field when it comes to helping people access legal aid.
